Hello, everyone, and welcome to our college Natural History day, You've all got your programme for the
day, but let me just give you a bit of information about your options for this morning's sessions. which begin
at half past nine. Remember, you need to attend one of these sessions.
All right, your first choice is called 'Dogs might _______________ ', which will _______________ in Room
27. Professor Keenan, who you may remember ran a _________________ last year on how dinosaurs
became extinct, will be giving a _____________ on the evolution of _____________. In particular, she'll be
looking at how they may evolve in the future, and this will be followed by a __________ discussion where
you'll get a chance to ask her questions and offer your own thoughts and opinions on this, So, if the
evolution of animals is something you're interested in, head for Room 27.
We all know that animals communicate with each other, but what about flowers? Your second choice is a
video ______________ called "____________ ________”. This considers the possibility that plants and
flowers do actually ________________ with each other. The video is presented by Patrick Bell, who has just
written a _____________ on how plants adapt to their natural__________________ , so it should be very
interesting. That will take place in the lecture room, no sorry, correct that, here in the_______________ .
We've had to move it because the lecture room is being renovated.
The third choice is ideal for those of you who want to get a bit of fresh air. We've called it 'A world in your
_______________ ', which we thought was appropriate as it looks at the sort of things you can find just by
stepping out of your front door. Anyway, for those of you interested in getting away from
the_____________ , Doctor Watkins will be taking you on a _____________ walk through the local park,
and will be telling you about some of the fascinating animals and plants that live and __________ nearby.
And it's a lovely day for a walk!
The final option, well, you might want to avoid this one if you're frightened of things like
_______________ , as this is a hands-on workshop where you'll actually get a chance to handle these exotic
creatures. It won't just be snakes, however. I believe Tom Howard, our resident _____________ expert, has
brought some other reptiles along for you to meet, including his pet tortoise, Reggie, who is over 100 years
old, and a pet lizard he calls Arthur. So, if you want to meet Reggie and his other reptile friends, head on
over to the ___________ lab at 9.30. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun. For those of you who don't usually use
the Biology lab, could I remind you that you need to put on one of the white coats by the door before you go
in OK, now, we've got some students here from Bardwell College.
