"Welcome to the City Museum. I'd like to tell you about our opening hours and facilities. The museum is open from nine thirty in the morning until five o'clock, Tuesday through Sunday. We're closed on Mondays for maintenance. Admission is free for children under twelve, and eight pounds for adults. Students with a valid ID card pay just five pounds. On the ground floor, you'll find our permanent collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. The first floor houses our modern art gallery, which has just been renovated. Our café is located on the second floor, and I'd recommend the lemon cake, it's quite popular. Guided tours run at eleven and two thirty, and last approximately forty-five minutes."

"So for our research project on renewable energy, I've been looking at the data from the solar panel installation at the university campus. The panels were installed in September last year, and in the first six months they generated approximately twelve thousand kilowatt hours of electricity. That's actually above the predicted output of ten thousand. The maintenance costs have been lower than expected too, around three hundred pounds compared to the estimated five hundred. However, the initial installation cost was significantly higher, coming in at forty-two thousand instead of the budgeted thirty-five thousand. Professor Williams suggests we should also compare this with the wind turbine data from the engineering department."
