1Hello, Steynford College external course registration, can I help you?
2Yeah, I'm ringing to find out about one-day classes next year.
3I got a leaflet about them in the post but I lost it,
4and I understand some of the classes are filling up fast,
5so I might need to book quite soon if I want to go ahead.
6Sure.
7Can you remember which one you were considering?
8There were a few actually.
9I remember there was one on how to make Vietnamese food that sounded good.
10I think that was on the 13th of January.
11It cost about £60.
12Yes, you're right about the date, but it's £59 actually.
13It's a very popular class,
14and among other things the teacher explains how Vietnamese food includes lots of different herbs.
15I'm afraid that all the places are taken at present,
16but I can put you on the waiting list if you want?
17No, that's okay.
18I'm quite interested in the bread making class.
19That's in March sometime, isn't it?
20Yeah, the 20th of March.
21Would you like to register for that?
22I'm not sure.
23How much is it?
24The actual cost is £48
25but then there's an extra charge as well as that for the ingredients.
26I'm not sure how much that is, no more than £20 I think.
27So what sorts of things do they make in the class?
28Oh, various types of bread;
29I think they make white bread and then they make sourdough,
30that seems to be very fashionable at present,
31and they learn how to make pizza, which is apparently really good.
32Well I'd definitely be interested in that,
33but there were also a few other classes that sounded interesting.
34I think there was one on face massage?
35I'd love to learn how to do that.
36Yeah, that's on the 23rd of February
37and it costs just £35 for the day.
38The teacher's great,
39the type of massage done is a traditional technique used in India
40and she actually did her training there.
41The massage is meant to relax you and get rid of lines and wrinkles.
42You practise it on yourself
43so you have to take a mirror to the class, so you can see what you're doing.
44Okay.
45And I think there was a class in candle making?
46Yes that's sometime in April, I think.
47Let me check...
48Ah... yes, it's on the 6th.
49It was on the 23rd of January but they had to change the date.
50It's just £52.
51That's a popular course too.
52I think one reason why people like it is because the candles are all made out of natural products.
53It's filling up fast but there's still a few places left.
54Yes one of my friends did that class.
55She said the candles make really good presents.
56In fact she gave me one.
57By the way, have you heard about the class on silk painting?
58That's being held on the 18th of May.
59You learn how to create designs on silk fabric and colour them using special dyes.
60Apparently people can produce beautiful artworks that way,
61either to put on the wall as a picture or to use for something like a scarf.
62It's £67.50,
63which is really good value I think,
64there's a similar class I've seen that was £110.
65That sounds interesting.
66Would I need to bring the silk?
67No, the only thing is everyone has to bring something to protect their clothing,
68like an apron if you've got one,
69or a shirt that you don't use any more,
70because the dye can really stain your clothes.
71Right.
72Then the last class I was considering was a bit different,
73that was on DIY for beginners.
74I'd like to learn how to do household repairs.
75Are there any places left on that?
76That's on the 24th of February,
77yes, there are a few places.
78It's a bit more expensive,
79it's £125,
80but it's a very popular class.
81You learn how to use an electric drill and a saw.
82Yeah, that would be really useful,
83and I even need to learn how to use a hammer
84because I always end up hitting my fingers.
85Yes, you'll do that too.
86And when you've learned how to use the basic tools, you do a practical job
87which is fixing a shelf to a wall.
88Great. Just what I need to know.
89Right, well I'd like to enrol for that...
