1Hello, Junior Cycle camp, Jake speaking.
2Hi.
3I'm calling for some information about the cycle camp -
4I'm thinking of sending my son.
5Great.
6Well, it's held every weekday morning over the summer vacation
7and we focus on basic cycling skills and safety.
8We have eight levels for children from three years upwards.
9How old's your son?
10Charlie? He's seven.
11He can ride a bike,
12but he needs a little more training before he's safe to go on the road.
13He'd probably be best in Level 5.
14They start off practising on the site here,
15and we aim to get them riding on the road,
16but first they're taken to ride in the park, away from the traffic.
17Right.
18And can you tell me a bit about the instructors?
19Well, all our staff wear different coloured shirts.
20So, we have three supervisors, and they have red shirts.
21They support the instructors,
22and they also stand in for me if I'm not around.
23Then the instructors themselves are in blue shirts,
24and one of these is responsible for each class.
25OK.
26In order to be accepted,
27all our instructors have to submit a reference from someone who's seen them work with children -
28like if they've worked as a babysitter, for example.
29Then they have to complete our training course,
30including how to do lesson plans,
31and generally care for the well-being of the kids in their class.
32They do a great job, I have to say.
33Right.
34And tell me a bit about the classes.
35What size will Charlie's class be?
36We have a limit of eight children in each class,
37so their instructor really gets to know them well.
38They're out riding most of the time
39but they have quiet times too,
40where their instructor might tell them a story that's got something to do with cycling,
41or get them to play a game together.
42It's a lot of fun.
43It must be.
44Now, what happens if there's rain?
45Do the classes still run?
46Oh yes.
47We don't let that put us off -
48we just put on our waterproofs and keep cycling.
49And is there anything special Charlie should bring along with him?
50Well, maybe some spare clothes,
51especially if the weather's not so good.
52And a snack for break time.
53How about a drink?
54No, we'll provide that.
55And make sure he has shoes, not sandals.
56Sure.
57And just at present Charlie has to take medication every few hours,
58so I'll make sure he has that.
59Absolutely.
60Just give us details of when he has to take it
61and we'll make sure he does.
62Thanks.
63Now, there are a few things you should know about Day 1 of the camp.
64The classes normally start at 9:30 every morning,
65but on Day 1, you should aim to get Charlie here by 9:20.
66The finishing time will be 12:30 as usual.
67We need the additional time because there are a few extra things to do.
68The most important is that we have a very careful check to make sure that every child's helmet fits properly.
69If it doesn't fit, we'll try to adjust it,
70or we'll find him another one -
71but he must wear it all the time he's on the bike.
72Of course.
73Then after that, all the instructors will be waiting to meet their classes,
74and they'll meet up in the tent -
75you can't miss it.
76And each instructor will take their class away and get started.
77OK. Well that all sounds good.
78Now, can you tell me how much the camp costs a week?
79$199.
80We've managed to keep the price more or less the same as last year -
81it was 190 then.
82But the places are filling up quite quickly.
83Right.
84OK, well I'd like to book for...
