 MAP LABELLING_TRANSCRIPT
PRACTICE 1
Right, well you can choose. We’re here at the information office, OK? Now, next to us, on the turner of
the high street and Sweet Street is the bus stop, opposite the bank. The bus goes all the way to Hackney
but it is a very indirect route so it could take ages. If you want to take the train, walk down the high
street towards the city, go past the bank and on your left is the station, just before you get to the post
office. There’s a mainline service to Hackney Wick so, if you need to get into the centre of Hackney, you
may need to pick up a bus when you get there. Opposite the post office, on the corner of Heart Lane is
the tube entrance – you’ll see the big signs. That’s probably the best way to get there, though you may
have to change. It’s probably best if you go and get a travel card first. To get to the ticket office, you go
out of here onto the high street. Then turn into South Street and the ticket office is on your right
opposite the cinema. Of course, you may decide it’s quicker to take a taxi, but it’s a long way so I think
it’ll be very expensive. If you do want to get a cab, then the rank is outside here just opposite the
office.
PRACTICE 2
Now if I can just show on this wall map here where they all are, you might like to go and have a look
round. If you come into the main university entrance, at the first junction you’ll find that Brown Hall is
on the corner opposite the theatre. So, you’re nice and near the station here – though I think it can get a
bit noisy with traffic. The same applies to Blake Residence, which is directly facing the junction to the
university entrance. These Halls are often used by medical students and such like as they’re out all day
so don’t notice the noise. Anyway, if you then walk along Campus Road towards the main Circle, you’ll
see the library on the corner and Queens Building is just past that as you head north. You will find that
it is quieter here and you may get fewer visitors! By the way the Circle is quite a feature of the campus as
it’s set into the hills and has a brand-new sports centre in the middle – it’s worth going to look around it.
Now, the Parkway Flats are on the opposite corner to the library, facing the Circle, as you head
towards the main buildings. The main buildings are only about a five-minute walk from here and places
in these Halls go quickly so my advice is to reserve your place as soon as possible. Then Temple Rise is
inside the Circle, next to the sports centre, but further from the main University buildings. Now. if you’d
like to go oft and …
PRACTICE 3
Now, a word about the layout of the building. The auditorium, stage and dressing rooms for the actors
are all below ground level. Here on the ground floor, we have most of the rooms that the public doesn’t
see. The majority are internal, so they have windows in the roof to light.
Standing here in the foyer, you’re probably wondering why the box office isn't here, where the public
would expect to find it. Well, you might have noticed it on your way in - although it's part of this building,
it’s next door, with a separate entrance from the road.
For the theatre manager's office, you go across the foyer and through the double doors, turn right, and
it's the room at the end of the corridor, with the door on the left.
The lighting box is where the computerised stage lighting is operated, and it’s at the back of the
building. When you’re through the double doors, turn left, turn right at the water cooler, and right
again at the end. It’s the second room along that corridor. The lighting box has a window into the
auditorium, which of course is below us.
The artistic director’s office is through the double doors, turn right, and it’s the first room you come to
on the right-hand side. And finally, for the moment, the room where I’ll take you next - the relaxation
room. So, if you’d like to come with me ...
PRACTICE 4
And finally, I'd like to tell you about our new wildlife area, Hinchingbrooke Park, which will be opened to
the public next month. This slide doesn't really indicate how big it is, but anyway, you can see the two
gates into the park, and the main paths. As you can see, there's a lake in the northwest of the park, with
a bird hide to the west of it, at the end of a path. So, it'll be a nice quiet place for watching the birds on
the lake.
Fairly close to where refreshments are available, there's a dog-walking area in the southern part of the
park, leading off from the path. And if you just want to sit and relax, you can go to the flower garden;
that's the circular area on the map surrounded by paths.
And finally, there's a wooded area in the western section of the park, between two paths. Okay, that's
enough from me, so let's go on and...
