Section two.

You will hear a holiday company representative talking to a group of tourists in a large hotel about things they can do during their holiday.

First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.

Hello everyone, I’m Jake Stevens and I’m your rep here at the hotel.

I’m sure you’ll all have a great time here, so let me tell you a bit about what’s on offer.

I’ll start by telling you about some of the excursions that are available for guests, one thing you have to do while you’re here is go dolphin watching, on our boat trips we pretty well guarantee you’ll see dolphins, if you don’t you can repeat the trip free of charge.

We organized daily trips for just 35 euros, unfortunately there aren’t any places left for this afternoon’s trip but come and see me too booked for later in the week.

If you’re energetic, I’d recommend our forest walk it’s a guided walk of about seven kilometers there’ll be a stop halfway and you’ll be provided with a drink and sandwiches.

There’s some fairly steep climbs up the hills so you need to be reasonably fit for this one with good shoes though and bring a waterproof in case it rains, it’s just 25 euros all-inclusive and it’s every Wednesday.

Then on Thursdays we organize a cycle trip which will give you all the fun of biking without the effort, will take you and your bike up to the top of Mount Lana and leave you to bike back, it’s a 700 meter drop in just 20 kilometers so this isn’t really for inexperienced cyclists as you’ll be going pretty fast.

And if it’s a clear day you’ll have fantastic views.

On our local craft or you can find out about the traditional activities in the island and the best thing about this trip is that it’s completely free.

You’ll be taken to a factory where jewelry is made and also a ceramic Center, if you want, you can buy some of the products but that’s entirely up to you.

The trip starts after lunch on Thursday and you’ll return by 6:00 p.m.

If you’re interested in astronomy you may already know that the islands one of the best places in the world to observe the night sky.

We can offer trips to the observatory on Friday for those who are interested, they cost 90 euros per person and you’ll be shown the huge telescopes and have a talk from an expert who will explain all about how they work.

Afterwards we’ll head down to Sunset Beach where you can have a dip in the ocean, if you want before we head off back to the hotel.

Finally there’s horse riding, this is organized by the equestrian center over near Playa Cortino and it’s a great experience if you’re a keen horseback rider or even if you’ve never been on a horse before, they take you down to the beach and you can canter along the sand and through the waves it costs 35 euros and it’s available every day.

Before you hear the of the talk you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20.

Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.

So there’s plenty to do in the daytime but what about nightlife ?

Well, the number one attractions called musical favorites , guests enjoy a three-course meal and unlimited free drinks and watch a fantastic show, starting with musical set in Paris and then crossing the Atlantic to Las Vegas and finally copacabana.

At the end the cast members come down from the stage still in their stunning costumes and you’ll have a chance to chat with them.

It’s hugely popular, so let me know now if you’re interested because it’s no good leaving it until the last minute it’s on Friday night tickets suggest 50 euros each but for an extra 10 euros you can have a table right by the stage.

If you’d like to go back in time there’s the castle feast on Saturday evening it’s held in a 12th century castle and you eat in the great courtyard with ladies in long gowns serving your food.

You’re given a whole chicken each which you eat in the medieval way using your hands instead of cutlery, and you’re entertained by competitions where the horseback riders attempt to knock one another off their horses.

Then you can watch the dancers in the ballroom and join in as well if you want.

Okay so now if.

That is the end of section 2 you now have half a minute to check your answers.

Now turn to section 3.
