Note to recorder:

it's a dialogue (2 persons would be great), please read slowly

A: Good morning, I am Pierre and I come with my class, in “A” level in Community and Social care, in the North East of Ireland to visit your structure.
B: Ah, yes! You must be the French group; welcome to “Petersburg Adventure centre”; My name is John O’Neil and I am the manager here.
A: When was settled your structure?
B: It was settled by my father in 1972.
A: What public do you receive?
B: We greet any public from seven years old. Anybody can practice our sports activities; there is only one condition, they need a medical certificate for sports activities, so our oldest participant was eighty-four years old. In fact, we greet individuals but mainly groups, for example, classes and international big companies; BMW or IBM
A: Your centre seems very successful.
B: In fact, we are not just a usual sport centre. It is an extreme sport centre. Here we are on an exceptional site next to the sea and as you can see, there are mountains not very far. So, you can do the normal walking or horse riding. But you also can do rock climbing in the mountains, canyoning or sea kayaking. These activities seem dangerous but they are not. I have a very competent team to lead activities. They are the best in their speciality from all over the world. For example, for rock-climbing our activity organiser is a mountain guide from Switzerland and for the canoeing our leader is from Colorado.
B: What are the objectives of this structure?
A: our objectives are to offer sport activities but also to create a team spirit in a group. Big companies come here because with our activities, which are physically difficult, colleagues learn to work together and people know each other better. We create a dynamic in the group.
A: How many people can you greet here?
B: We can receive up to one hundred and twenty people for sports activities during the day. But we can also greet people for the night. In the centre, we can receive seventy-six people in different double rooms there is also, not very far, a dormitory in a chalet for twenty people. It is a small village here so; there is not much accommodation, for example hotels or Bed and Breakfast; That is why we had to build accommodation in the centre and a restaurant. But it is also an advantage to develop team spirit because people can stay together for many days an in the evening we offer activities; karaoke, singing… there is always something going on. Unfortunately, the residents do not come often, they are too tired after all their physical activity

Hi,
We made some alterations to the text (and changed Pierre into Mary). I hope that these changes are acceptable.
Oh, we changed "84-year old participant was', into 'is' because we were saddened to think that he had died.
