Listen to a conversation about films
Listen to City Cinema's recorded information about menu choices, hours, prices, festivals, cafés, and further information.
The recording is an automated City Cinema message. It first gives two telephone-menu choices, then opening hours and the normal ticket-price range. Next it announces the season for film festivals, this week's films and prices, and a student discount. It finishes with the new and old cafés and directs listeners to the website. Listen for the noun attached to each number so that menu numbers, times, prices, and durations stay separate.
