Receptionist: Good morning, Riverside Cooking School, Daniel speaking. How can I help you?

Woman: Hi, I'd like to register for one of your evening cooking classes, please.

Receptionist: Of course. Have you taken a class with us before?

Woman: No, this would be my first time.

Receptionist: No problem. Let me take a few details. Can I have your full name?

Woman: Yes, it's Karen Phillips. That's P-H-I-L-L-I-P-S.

Receptionist: Thank you, Karen. And which class were you interested in?

Woman: I saw the Italian cooking course advertised online. Is that still running?

Receptionist: Yes, it is. We actually have two options. There's a beginner course and an intermediate one. The beginner course focuses mainly on pasta and sauces.

Woman: That sounds perfect. I'm definitely a beginner.

Receptionist: Great. The beginner course runs on Thursday evenings, starting at half past six.

Woman: Thursday works well for me. How long is each session?

Receptionist: Each class lasts two hours, so it finishes at half past eight. The full course is eight weeks long.

Woman: And what's the cost?

Receptionist: The total fee is one hundred and sixty pounds, which includes all the ingredients. However, there's an additional charge of twelve pounds for an apron and recipe book.

Woman: That's fine. Do I need to bring anything myself?

Receptionist: Not really, but we do recommend you bring a set of containers to take leftovers home. Oh, and please wear comfortable shoes.

Woman: Good to know. Where exactly is the school located?

Receptionist: We're at fourteen Maple Street, just behind the central library.

Woman: Maple Street. Got it. Is there parking available?

Receptionist: There's no car park on site, but there's free parking on Garden Road, which is a two-minute walk away.

Woman: Perfect. One more thing — do you cater for any dietary requirements?

Receptionist: We do. If you have any allergies, just let us know in advance and the chef will adapt the recipes.

Woman: I'm allergic to nuts, so I'll make a note of that.

Receptionist: I'll add that to your file now. To confirm your place, we ask for a deposit of forty pounds, with the balance due on the first evening.

Woman: Can I pay the deposit by card over the phone?

Receptionist: Yes, that's the easiest way. Shall I take the payment now?

Woman: Yes, please. And could you send me a confirmation email?

Receptionist: Certainly. What's your email address?

Woman: It's karenp at fastmail dot com.

Receptionist: Lovely. I'll send everything across this afternoon. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
