Read the Community Centre Timetable

Find the right event

You want to visit a community centre. Read this fictional sample timetable. The words this week and next week belong to the sample; they are not live opening information. Allow about 20 minutes. Find the activity first, then scan for its day and time.

Four notices

Book club: We meet on Monday at 10:00 in Room 2. Bring a short book. The group is small, and new readers are welcome.

Art class: Come on Tuesday evening at 18:00. Paper and pencils are ready. The class starts in October. Please wear an old shirt.

Coffee morning: Meet neighbours on Saturday at 11:00. There is tea too. Please bring your own cup. Everyone can join us in the main hall.

Closed next week: The centre is closed next week for painting. All classes return the following week.

Timetable picture and text key

Monday: book club, 10:00. Tuesday: art class, 18:00. Saturday: coffee morning, 11:00. Next week: the centre is closed. This text contains the same key schedule information as the picture.

Notice the small words

On Monday gives a day. At 10:00 gives a clock time. In October gives a month. On Tuesday evening gives a named day-part. Next week needs no preposition. Read each complete phrase aloud.
