[17:54.68]4.3 Note-Taking   1.As you listen to the passage,
[18:05.96]use the spaces below to take some notes on what you hear.
[18:11.66]Many students visit Britain every summer either as tourists,
[18:17.87]or to learn the language,or to do a combination of the two.
[18:24.67]If you're thinking of visiting Britain,
[18:28.77]there are a few things you should be ready for.
[18:33.36]First,the weather can be very changeable even in summer-
[18:39.97]so you never know what it's going to be like.
[18:44.75]It might be rainy or sunny,hot or cold,
[18:50.84]so you should be prepared for everything
[18:55.93]and take both summer clothes and warmer ones.
[19:02.23]Secondly,opening hours for shops,pubs,etc.
[19:09.13]can be very different from other countries.
[19:13.31]Shops normally open at 9:30 a.m.and close at 5:30 p.m.
[19:20.99]with no break in the middle of the day.
[19:25.40]As for pubs,their opening hours vary.
[19:30.60]Normal hours are 11:30 a.m.to 2:30 p.m.,and 5:30 p.m.to 10:30 p.m.
[19:41.10]but you may find some pubs are open longer than there.
[19:46.40]You'll also find discotheques open quite late,
[19:51.68]but generally speaking,nightlife finishes early in Britain,
[19:57.56]and so does public and transport.
[20:01.53]Finally,if you want to eat out there're lots of restaurants,
[20:07.90]but they tend to be expensive unless they are Indian or Chinese.
[20:14.20]The food in these is generally tasty and good value for money.
[20:21.28]Food in pubs is often good,varied and cheap
[20:26.66]If you're under eighteen they won't let you drink alcohol with your meal.
