T = Teacher

T: Good morning everybody. Before we start the class today, I

need to give you some informatio n about our field trip on the

27th of May next Friday, in fact. As you know, were spending

the day at the amazing Science Museum in London. The coach

will pick us up in the school car park. Well leave at 8 oclock so

plan to be here at least 15 minutes before that 7.45 at the

latest. Youd better set your alarms for 6.30, OK?

Our visits been confirmed by the museum and Ive just received

the itinerary and information about the activities theyve

organised for us. If youve visited the Science Museum before,

youll know that its enormous and we cant possibly see

everything in one day. You may want to take some notes now

though Ill also put the info on the class website later on.

The museum opens from 10a.m. to 6p.m. If all goes well, we

hope to arrive by 10.15 latest, when well have our first guided

tour of the day there are two, by the way. If you read the

newspaper last Sunday, youll have seen the article about the

re-opening of the Welcome Wing last week. It now has three

state-of-the-art galleries which deal only with contemporary

science. Were going to have a guided tour of one of them an

37

 Intermediate Tests Audio Script

exhibition called Antenna, which is about how the latest scientific

discoveries could change our lives. Youll also have the

opportunity to give your opinions about the latest ideas.

Remember, the museum has lots of hands-on multimedia stuff

so you wont get bored Im sure youll find it fascinating.

Then at 11 oclock well have a coffee break and youll be free to

visit the permanent exhibitions until 12.30. There are twe nty

galleries with different themes so youll only have time to see

two or three properly. If I were you, I wouldnt miss the one

called Making the Modern World which is marvellous. It shows

the development of the modern industrial world in a really

entertaining and creative way. Also watch out for The Secret Life

of the Home. Its great fun and youll be amazed by all the

gadgets people used to use in the house and will use in the

future!

Then its lunchtime. Weve ordered a picnic from the caf, which

well eat in the picnic area on the first floor. Well all meet up

there at 12.30 so dont be late we have to go to the cinema at

1.15! Yes, but not an ordinary cinema an IMAX 3D cinema! At

quarter past one, were booked to have a 3D experience ca lled

Space Station. Youll blast off into space with astronauts from

38

 Intermediate Tests Audio Script

the USA and Russia, and experience life on the International

Space Station, 220 miles above Earth. How does that sound?

Great. OK, then we have our second guided tour at 2.45

quarter to three to see one of the special temporary exhibitions

called Fast Forward. Its about twenty ways that Formula One

technology is being used in our hospitals, homes and work

places. For example, the materials and machines theyve

developed for the Formula One cars are now being used to

make racing bikes, and sophisticated machines to monitor

hospital patients. The tour should take about an hour until

3.45. And Im pleased to tell you that youll then be free for the

rest of the afternoon! Youll be able to go back to any galleries

youre particularly interested in, or see something new. Well

leave the Museum at half past five so tell your parents you

should be home by about 8p.m.

I think thats all for now. Oh, one last thing, check out the

Science Museum website before we go. The more you read

about it, the more interesting the visit will be.
