You will hear part of a local radio programme in which someone is talking about a shopping centre
Presenter Thank you David To finish today's programme I want to tell you about the Waterside Shopping Centre near Northport which I visited last week It has something for everyone and I would recommend it for a day out It's taken three years to build and finally opened three weeks ago two months later than planned
Firstly getting there there are organized coach trips from most towns in the area but they leave early and come home very late so I drove There are 12000 free parking spaces so parking is no problem You can also get there by train but the station is 15 minutes from Waterside by bus and the buses are really crowded so you sometimes have a long wait
One thing to remember is that the shops don't open till 1000 in the morning except on Saturday when they open at 900 So don't get there too early on a weekday They close at 8 o'clock every day except Friday when they're open until 9 pm
The shopping centre is arranged on three levels You'll find all your favourites here In fact if you want to buy a pair of shoes there are 15 different shops to choose from on levels one and two When you run out of money there are seven different banks but collect your money before you get to the third level as there aren't any banks up there On that level however there are several restaurants as well as a cinema with seven screens And don't get lost like I did go to the information desk on the first level and get a map
Before you go back to your car or the bus and in fact it might be better to do this before you go shopping and have too much to carry go and see the lake Take a walk or have a go at fishing sailing or windsurfing if you have time Or you can rest your tired feet and watch the birds and ducks but you are asked not to feed them
Although I had a good day I would complain about one thing but not the usual thing the service in the shops was good and I had an excellent lunch in a café No the silly thing was that everywhere was quite clean but people were dropping their fastfood boxes and empty drink cans on the ground because there wasn't anywhere else to throw them Apart from that I would recommend it And so that's all for today's programme
Questions 25 to 30 are based on the psssage you have just heard
25 When was the shopping center opened
26 What is the best way of traveling to Waterside
27 During which period are the shops open on Fridays
28 What can you do on the third level
29 Apart from shopping what else can you do at Waterside
