Script:

Lan: Good morning.

Receptionist: Good morning. Welcome to ABC Vocational School. How can I help you?

Lan: I watched a TV programme about your school last week. I'd like to ask for information about your courses.

Receptionist: Sure. What's your name, please?

Lan: I'm Nguyen Thanh Lan

Receptionist: OK, Lan. We offer a wide range of courses including tour guide training, hotel and restaurant management, and cooking. Are you interested in a specific trade?

Lan: Yes, I'd like to know more about your cooking courses. How long does it take to complete a cooking course?

Receptionist: Well, it depends. We have short cooking courses for all ages and abilities. They are usually two to three months, and mainly for people who want to learn about food preparation and have fun in the kitchen. We also have professional cooking courses, which take two years to complete, for those who want to train to be restaurant cooks.

Lan: Do you offer any apprenticeships?

Receptionist: Yes, once you join a course, you'll have the opportunity to work as an apprentice in a real restaurant and learn from the best chefs.

Lan: That's amazing!

Receptionist: Would you like to fill in the application form?

Lan: Oh, I'm only in grade 11.I haven't discussed my plans with my parents either.

Receptionist: OK, no problem. Please take a copy of our school brochure. It has detailed information about all the courses.

Lan: Thank you so much. Goodbye.

Receptionist: Bye, Lan. Good luck.
