Listening Section 2: Matching & Map/Plan Labelling: Question 5

Transcript-based practice (no audio).

Staff member: Welcome to Cranmoor, and congratulations on signing up. I'm Jodie, and I run the new-member inductions here, so let me talk you through the building before we start your tour properly, because it's easy to get turned around on your first visit.

We're in the main atrium at the moment, just past reception. A lot of new members assume the gym is straight ahead somewhere on this floor, but actually there's no fitness equipment down here at all. The whole ground floor is really about the pool and the courts, and the gym itself is upstairs, which I'll come back to.

So, taking the left-hand side of the atrium first: the room nearest the entrance, the first door on the left, is our café and juice bar, which is open to non-members as well as members, so don't be surprised to see people who aren't on the gym floor sitting in there. Keep going along that same left wall, past the café, and right at the back you'll find the swimming pool hall itself, that's a twenty-five-metre pool plus a smaller teaching pool alongside it.

Now, across to the right-hand side: the first room along that wall, nearest the atrium, is actually our health suite, with the sauna, steam room and a small plunge pool. A lot of people expect the courts to be first on that side, but it's the health suite that's closest to reception, and the courts are further along. Carrying on down the right wall to the room at the very back, that's where you'll find the two squash courts, which need to be booked online in advance.

The sports hall, which is used for badminton, basketball and five-a-side football depending on the evening, takes up the whole of the back wall of the atrium, straight ahead of you as you come in the main doors.

Right, and now the bit people always ask about, upstairs. The staircase and lift are beside the sports hall. Once you're up on the first floor, the main fitness suite, with all the cardio and weights equipment, is at the front, directly above reception. Behind that, above the sports hall itself, is our group exercise studio, where we run the spin, yoga and HIIT classes. And if you carry on past the studio, there's a door out onto the rooftop running track, which sits above the pool hall and is open whenever it's not raining or icy.

Okay, let's start with the pool, since your induction swim test is first.

The plan shows the ground and first floors of Cranmoor Leisure & Sports Centre, viewed from above. The main entrance leads into a central atrium. Two rooms run along the left-hand wall of the atrium: the one nearest the entrance is marked A, and the one furthest from the entrance, at the back, is marked B. Two rooms run along the right-hand wall: the one nearest the entrance is marked C, and the one furthest from the entrance, at the back, is marked D. A large hall fills the whole of the back wall of the atrium, marked E. The staircase and lift beside the hall lead up to the first floor, where a room directly above reception, at the front of the building, is marked F, and a room behind it, above the hall, is marked G. Beyond that room, on the same floor, an outdoor area above the pool hall is marked H.
