Boy Hi there, I’m interested in joining the gym.
Receptionist Sure, there are different types of
membership. There’s “Train and Swim”
membership, which means you get free use of
the swimming pool, too. Or you can just have
gym membership, which is a bit cheaper.
Boy Yeah, I want to use the pool, so I’ll go for that
one.
Receptionist OK. And how old are you?
Boy I’m thirteen.
Receptionist Good. So you’ll be able to use the gym any
time from seven in the morning till five. What’s
your name, please?
Boy Jake Seymour. That’s S-E-Y-M-O-U-R. And
what are the opening times for the pool?
Receptionist They’re the same as for the gym. Right, so
that will be eight euros a month. You can pay
when you come in.
