Section 2 (1)

Good afternoon ladies,gentlemen and children of all ages! I am the ringmaster of Barnum and Balley's Circus. Before I allow you all to enjoy today's entertainment,
permit me to tell you about the fairground. The Big Top is the large red and yellow-striped tent you see behind me. That is where all of today's featured acts will be performing. On my rent there are two long trailers. That is where you can view human and animal oddities of all sorts--our Freak Show. Across from the Freak Show to my left is the Petting Zoo. Here both children and adults can enjoy playing with cute little animals. We have young goats,lambs and rabbits, as well as ponies for the children to ride.Now there's an adorable picture,eh folks? If your camera needs more film, remember that you can buy some at the souvenir stalls outside the main entrance. Located directly behind the Big Top are the Ferris Wheel and roller coasters. These rides are sure to give you a thrill. And speaking of thrills,in the unlikely event of accident, please use the emergency exit located at the back of the park near the Ferris Wheel. Refreshments may be purchased at the concession stand to the right of the petting Zoo,in front of the security booth. Be advised that on the left-hand side of the Main Entrance can be found public telephones. On the right-hand side of the said entrance there is the security and first aid stall. If you lose anything while at the fairground be sure to go as soon as possible to security and report it. Finally,the restrooms are at the rear left-hand side of the fairground, between the Freak Show trailers and the Ferris Wheel. Please bear in mind that these are pay toilets,costing 20 pence per use.

Now the announcer goes on to explain the evening's schedule. Look at the entertainment program and questions 15 to 19. Answer questions 15 to 19 to complete the table.

Now that all the official announcements are out of the way, I will quickly go over today's program. The entertainment will begin at 12 o'clock, with the Great Santini in the Big Top. Santini has traveled far from his native land of Romania to amaze you with feats of magic. He might even make you disappear! Following Santini at around one o'clock will be the bozo Brothers. These clowns will hit,trip,trick each other and maybe even crash their clown car,all for your laughter and amusement. Also at one o'clock at the Petting Zoothere will be a goat milking demonstration. This is a fun and educational activity. Over at the Freak Show Trailer, the Bearded Lady will take the stage at 2 o'clock. Ever wondered what a woman would look like with a full beard? Well,here is your chance to find out! Trust me folks,the beard is real,but don't try to pull it,or you might just find out what it is like to get hit by a bearded lady! If you do not want to see a woman with facial hair, then back at the Big Top at two o'clock you can watch Gary the Glass Eater do just what his name implies,eat glass! Gary will make you cringe as he chews and swallows all sorts of glass items, from shards to entire lightbulbs, all without injuring himself,Don't try this at home kids! From 3 to 4 o'clock there will be an intermission. This is a great time for you to visit the refreshment bar and take a rest. When activities resume at four o'clock you will have two options. Down at the Petting Zoo there will a lamb shearing demonstration. Want to know how lamb's wool became that beautiful sweater in your closet? Just ask Maggie Simpson,Scitland's leading wool expert,how it was done. She will demonstrate how to shear the wool from a lamb and then explain the many processes the wool must undergo suitable for making clothing and other products. If you are really interested, she might even let you have a hand at shaving a sheep yourself! At the same time,over at the Big Top, there will be an Elephant Parade. Watch as eight massive Indian elephants perform lever tricks with beautiful female acrobats balancing on their backs. Immediately following the Elephant Parade,at about five o'clock, the Swan Sisters will perform their world-famous flying trapeze act. Watch these two lovely sisters risk life and limb as they fly and tumble through the air 150 meters above the ground-all without a safety net. I don't want to say too much,but make sure to stay for their grand finale, which is said to be one of the most dangerous trapeze stunts ever performed. At 5:30 the Siamese Twins will take center stage at the Freak Show Trailer. Originally from China,identical twin brothers Ping and Pong have been attached at the hip and shoulder since birth. Talk about family togetherness! If you like,you can even ask them questions about their lives. Our concluding act can also be found at he Freak Show Trailer. At 6:30 you will be able to witness the World's Fattest Man,Marcoff Chaney. Mr.Chaney weighs some 300 kilograms and is truly a sight to see. Thank you for coming to barnum and Bailey's Circus! We hope you have a wonderful time!
