AUDIO SCRIPT
Daniel was walking through the city centre when he noticed a colourful poster for a new community course. The advert explained that people could study art, music, sport, or even travel technology. Daniel thought the idea sounded interesting, so he decided to read the information carefully.
To join the course, students needed to complete an online form and buy a ticket for the first workshop. After registering, Daniel received a text message with extra details and a short note reminding him to bring a pen and notebook. At the end of the programme, participants would receive a certificate showing they had completed the course successfully.
Although Daniel enjoyed several subjects, he finally chose the travel technology course because he loved learning about apps and digital tools that make travelling easier.
