Stanthorpe and Malatte Twinning Association
ANNOUNCER: Part 2. You will hear the chairman of Stanthorpe Twinning Association, which organizes the link between Stanthorpe in England and a town in France, talking to members about the year's events. First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15. Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
SPEAKER: It's great to see so many members of the Twinning Association here tonight.
SPEAKER: Since the twinning link between our towns, Stanthorpe in England and Malatte in France, was established, the relationship between the towns has gone from strength to strength.
SPEAKER: Last month, 25 members of the association from Stanthorpe spent a weekend in Malatte.
SPEAKER: Our hosts arranged a wonderful program. We learned how cheese is produced in the region and had the chance to taste the products.
SPEAKER: The theme park trip had to be cancelled, but the boat trip down the river on the final day was the highlight.
SPEAKER: This is a special year because it marks 25 years since the association was founded.
SPEAKER: In Malatte they are planning to celebrate by building a footbridge in the municipal park.
SPEAKER: Here in Stanthorpe we have decided to plant a Poplar tree in the museum gardens.
SPEAKER: We also considered buying a garden seat, but the authorities were not happy with that idea.
SPEAKER: Our fund-raising events have gone very well this year.
SPEAKER: The pancake evening was extremely popular and made record profits.
SPEAKER: Everyone also enjoyed the French cookery demonstration, which was almost as successful.
SPEAKER: Our film show was limited by the size of the venue, so we hope to find a larger one next year.
SPEAKER: We are looking forward to welcoming our French visitors next week.
SPEAKER: Their coach will arrive at 5 pm on Friday.
SPEAKER: That first evening, try not to do too much because they will be tired.
SPEAKER: It's best to have dinner at home or in the garden rather than going out.
SPEAKER: If the weather is good, you might even plan a barbecue.
SPEAKER: The following morning is market day in town, which is always a nice place to walk around.
SPEAKER: On Saturday evening we will meet at the football club.
SPEAKER: There will be music from Toby Sharp and his band, performing English and Scottish country songs.
SPEAKER: Toby is already well known to many of you because last year he organized our quiz night.
ANNOUNCER: Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20. Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
SPEAKER: On Sunday we will take our visitors to Farley House.
SPEAKER: You can see the car park at the bottom of the map.
SPEAKER: There is an excellent farm shop where visitors can buy local produce.
SPEAKER: It is located in the old stables, which are arranged around a courtyard.
SPEAKER: The shop is in the far corner on the left.
SPEAKER: There is also a small cafe on the right as you enter.
SPEAKER: For visitors who have difficulty walking, there is a disabled entrance on the far side of the house.
SPEAKER: Children will probably enjoy the adventure playground.
SPEAKER: It is at the northern end of the larger lake.
SPEAKER: Near the house you will also find several gardens.
SPEAKER: The kitchen gardens are rectangular and surrounded by a wall.
SPEAKER: They are located to the north-east of the house near the smaller lake.
SPEAKER: Another attraction is the Temple of the Four Winds.
SPEAKER: To reach it, take the path from the car park past the western side of the stables and house.
SPEAKER: When the path forks, take the right-hand path.
SPEAKER: Continue with the woods on your left, and the temple will be at the end.
SPEAKER: From there you can enjoy excellent views across the whole area.
ANNOUNCER: That is the end of Part 2. You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Part 2.
