Victoria: Hello. Are you the person to ask about joining a club?

Mark: Yes, I am. What would you like to know?

Victoria: Well, I'm interested in several things, but I'd like to know more about the different clubs and how much they cost. I'm looking for a small club that's not too expensive.

Mark: OK. Have a look at this table. You can see the names of the clubs, the fees and the number of members. I'm afraid they aren't in any order. If you look at the top of the list, the first club is table tennis. That's one of our new clubs.

Victoria: Oh, right.1 So the table tennis club costs 20 pounds. That's quite expensive.

Mark: Yes, it is a bit expensive. 2The cross country cycling club is cheaper, though. Membership fees are only 15 pounds, but on the other hand it's got 100 members.

Victoria: 3The film and drama club costs a lot, doesn't it?

Mark: 3Yes, 50 pounds is a lot. And that's probably why it only has 12 members. Ahhh ... is there any other club you think looks interesting?

Look at the next one ... street dance. 4Have you ever done any street dance?

Victoria: No, I haven't, really.

Mark: 4It's the cheapest. It only costs 5 pounds.

Victoria: Mmmm

Mark: OK. Shall we start with your interests? What do you like doing best?

Victoria: Ummm well, 5I like photography. I've got a professional camera. So, I take it quite seriously. But I can't really imagine belonging to a club to take photographs. I usually go on long walks on my own and take photos. So I like photography, but I wouldn't want to join a club to do it.

Mark: OK, so what else do you like doing? Running?

Victoria: Oh no! Not running! I like walking, but I hate running. I'm afraid the running club isn't for me or the cycling club.

Mark: And film and drama?

Victoria: Ahh, no It's far too expensive. 6But I do like yoga. I've practised yoga on and off for years. How many members does the yoga club have?

Mark: It's always a small group. A lot of people sign up at the beginning of term, but they stop going after a few weeks. So they're left with a few regular members every year.

Victoria: That sounds good. I think I'd like to join the yoga club. And what about the contemporary dance club? Is it expensive?

Mark: Contemporary dance? No, it's not expensive. 10 pounds for the term Do you like dance?

Victoria: Well, I've never tried contemporary dance,7 but I do like jazz and tap dance. How often does the group meet?

Mark: 8So can I have your full name, please? Victoria: Victoria Mandeville. Mark: M-A-N-D-A-V-I-L

Victoria: No, no. M-A-N-D-E-V-I-L-L-E.

Mark: Double L, E. Thank you. And how old are you?

Victoria: Nineteen.

Mark: And your address?

Victoria: 957 Bury Gardens, Atherton Park, Manchester, M46

Mark: How do you spell 'Bury'? B-E-R-R-Y?

Victoria: No. It's B-U-R-Y

Mark: Right. B-U-R-Y. And do you have a contact number?
