Task 1. Read the dialogue about festival food.
Radio host: My next guest is Sarah Lee, who has come along today to tell us about a charity food festival that’s going to take place next weekend in Saint Clement’s Field in Upper Clayton. Welcome to the programme, Sarah. Sarah Lee: Thank you. It’s great to be here. Radio host: OK, Sarah, can you tell us a little bit about the festival? It’s a charity event, isn’t it? Sarah Lee: Yes, that’s right. I work for a local charity called ‘Wish you were here’. We organise holidays for children who might not otherwise have a chance to go away – families on low incomes or single parent families with childminding problems. We’ve organised this festival to raise money for a week-long summer camp in Cornwall for forty children. We hope to raise about five thousand pounds next weekend. This is the first time we’ve organised such an event, but if it’s successful we’ll make it an annual event. Radio host: So, what happens at a food festival, Sarah? Sarah Lee: Well, this festival has got something for everyone, no matter what your age. There are more than fifty food stands, selling all kinds of dishes from around the world. We’ve got Afro-Caribbean food,Indian food, Italian pizzas, Spanish tapas ((pause)) you name it, we’ve got it ((laughing)). Radio host: So people can buy food? But we’re in a recession. Can people afford to go out to eat?
Sarah Lee: Well, that’s the good thing. All of the meals have a fixed price of two pounds. Children’s portions are one fifty. And you can have a taste of
the food first, before you decide what to buy.

Radio host: Really? Well, you can’t say fairer than that! What else have you got on the agenda, Sarah?
Sarah Lee: We’ve got celebrity chef Ollie James! He’s going to be sampling dishes and saying what he thinks of them. And he’s going to be giving a masterclass on preparing and cooking fish and seafood.
Radio host: That’s interesting. Ollie is an expert when it comes to fish.
Sarah Lee: Exactly. We’re hoping he’ll draw the crowds.
Radio host: What else can people expect to find, Sarah?
Sarah Lee: Well, we’ve got other cooking demonstrations and there’s a food photography competition with prizes for different age groups. There are stands selling local produce: cheeses, honey, fruit and veg.There’s face-painting and a play area for the kids.
Radio host: It all sounds great, Sarah. So, when is the festival?
Sarah Lee: It’s next Saturday, that’s June the thirteenth. It starts at ten o’clock in the morning and finishes at seven o’clock in the evening.
Radio host: And it takes place in Saint Clement’s Field in Upper Clayton. Is that right?
Sarah Lee: Yes. Oh, and I should say that there is no admission charge, but
as this is a charity event we will be walking around with collection tins
and we hope that visitors will be generous.
Radio host: Thank you, Sarah Lee from ‘Wish you were here’. Visitors can
check our website at the end of the programme for a full calendar of
festival events. Now ((fade out)) ...
