M: 2466. Simon speaking.
W: Hello. Is this the right number for the International Friendship Club?
M: Yes, that’s right. How can I help you?
W: I picked up a copy of your newsletter in the Students’ Union, and I was wondering if you could tell me a bit more about the club?
M: Yes, of course. We set up the club three years ago as a way of promoting international understanding. So we have been established for a while now. And, there are meetings every Thursday evening, during term time, that is.
W: Thursday, right?
M: Yes, we usually show a film or maybe run a competition of some kind. But mostly it’s an opportunity for people to get together, relax, and make friends. And we also produce a regular newsletter—I think you said you had a seen a copy of that...
W: The newsletter? Yes, it looked interesting.
M: So you know it’s got loads of information about what’s on in the area and about living in Britain in general. We also have quite a busy social program with outings to places of interest like London or Oxford.
W: Sounds great.
M: And one other thing to mention. We like to encourage people to attend regularly and play a real part in the club. So we give special certificates as a reward for active participation. It’s something you can put on your CV, for example.
W: I see. And does it cost anything to join? Is there a fee?
M: Yes, membership costs ￡5 for a term but you can save a bit of money if you pay for the whole academic year. Then it’s only ￡12, instead of ￡15. That doesn’t include special trips. But they are subsidized by the university, so they’re not too expensive. The Oxford trip only costs ￡10, for example.
W: So, how do I go about joining?
M: Right, well I’ll take a few details now if I may, so I can send you a welcome pack. That’s got all the information you need. Then if you’re happy to go ahead, perhaps you could send us a check for your membership fee.
W: Fine.
M: OK. So could I have your name please?
W: Maria Lanzerac.
M: Right. And where are you from, Maria? I should be able to tell from your accent but...
W: Don’t worry. Most people think I’m from Australia but I’m actually South African.
M: That’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to go! Now your address. Do you live in the city?
W: Yes, I’m staying at 47 March Street, Southville.
M: Fantastic. Well, I think that’s all I need for now. Just give me a call if you’ve got any questions.
W: Thanks. Bye.
