Now listen to the rest of the conversation between the receptionist and the student, and answer the questions.

Now can I just check the details of the course?

Sure, go ahead.

Now it says on the leaflet, um, let me find it.

OK, got it!

Right, so it’s called Food Photography, and I’ve got here that it begins at nine thirty.

That’s right, it’s an early start.

It begins at half past nine and it goes on until four thirty.

Most of our weekend courses are quite short and so they’re over in a couple of hours, this course is longer.

According to the information I’ve got up here on screen, it’s seven hours long.

Oh, I’m glad it lasts for more than a few hours.

I don’t think I’d be able to learn how to take good pictures in less than seven hours.

Now, I’ll just give you a bit more information about the course itself.

Basically, you’ll learn how to take good photos of food using a digital camera.

So it’ll train you in the basics of using a range of camera angles.

Camera angles?

Yes, you’ll learn how to photograph food using close­ up shots, wide-angle shots and shots taken from above, that sort of thing.

What about learning to edit pictures on my computer?

Will that be covered too?

No, I’m afraid not.

The purpose of the workshop is to teach you how to take good photos in the first place.

It’s a really hands-on session, in fact, you’ll spend some of the day on location in a local hotel.

It’s just round the corner from the college the Lincoln Hotel, so you’ll have the opportunity to practice taking photographs using real dishes!

That’s great, a practical course is exactly what I’m looking for!

Now just a few more things.

The full fee for the course is $55 and that includes a light lunch and refreshments at the hotel.

Oh, that’s really good.

That means I don’t have to worry about bringing along my own drinks and snacks on the day.

That would probably cost me at least $10.

OK, I think that’s everything, so I’ll just take your details so that we can confirm your place on the course.
