Unit 8. Page 136. Exercise 7. Listening.

00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:07,960
Hello?

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,160
Hello. May I speak with Jane Trevanti?

4
00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:12,280
This is Jane.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,580
Jane, my name is Brian Hanson. I got your number from the website.

6
00:00:17,260 --> 00:00:21,720
I'm interested in joining your orienteering club and getting to know some people.

7
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:26,740
Would you mind giving me some information about your club and about becoming a member?

8
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:30,360
Sure. I'd be glad to. Are you new in town?

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,780
Yeah. I've been here about five months and haven't really met anyone.

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,780
I feel like I need to stop working so much so that I can enjoy myself more.

11
00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:42,840
Have you ever done any orienteering before?

12
00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:46,020
No, I haven't. Do you need to be experienced?

13
00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:52,060
Not necessarily. You can learn. We've got several different levels of participants.

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,560
You do need to be in good physical condition.

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,560
Well, I...

16
00:00:56,740 --> 00:01:02,460
I haven't been doing much exercising lately, but I think I'm basically in good physical shape.

17
00:01:02,980 --> 00:01:09,600
So, can you give me some details? How often do you go orienteering and where do you go? Stuff like that?

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,620
Well, we try to go at least twice a month, normally on Saturdays.

19
00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:18,020
Usually, we go to the Sherwood Forest area.

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,040
Sometimes, we only manage to go once a month, but most months, it's at least twice.

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,600
In the summer, we get around by...

22
00:01:26,740 --> 00:01:33,480
By fast hiking. But right now we navigate by cross-country skiing. Do you know how to ski?

23
00:01:33,940 --> 00:01:39,140
I tried cross-country skiing a couple of years ago, but I haven't done it since then.

24
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:42,900
I did pretty well at it, though. I still have my skis.

25
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,260
Great! Let's see... What else?

26
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:55,560
Um... Oh, the group is pretty diverse. There are some married people and their older kids, some singles, all ages...

27
00:01:55,860 --> 00:01:56,580
But we're an...

28
00:01:56,580 --> 00:02:04,800
actual club. We have dues of $40 a year. That's to pay for organizing the activities. Sounds like

29
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,440
you'd enjoy the club. It's a good way to make friends. The members really enjoy being together.

30
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:17,460
Sounds good to me. When's your next activity? We're meeting on Saturday morning, the 15th,

31
00:02:17,460 --> 00:02:24,060
at 6 a.m. in front of Darcy's Coffee Shop in Stapleton. We'll get to the forest by carpooling.

32
00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:31,180
Do you know where Darcy's is? I think so, but I can use my GPS if I have any trouble finding it.

33
00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:36,240
Okay, good. Don't forget to bring your skis, and remember to bring a lunch,

34
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:43,580
hopefully with a lot of high-protein stuff in it. Super. I'll see you on the 15th at 6 a.m.

35
00:02:43,780 --> 00:02:48,240
Thanks a lot. Sure. I'll look forward to meeting you in person. Bye.
