Philip:
|
So, Maria, did
you find a good course?
|
|
Maria:
|
Well, I found
two swimming teacher schools on the Internet. They both have
good courses.
|
|
Philip:
|
Did you choose
one?
|
|
Maria:
|
I think so, but
it isn't easy. The courses all look good, but they are a bit
different.
|
|
Philip:
|
Really? How are
they different?
|
|
Maria:
|
Well, the City
Swimschool courses only go for two or three days, but the Nationwide
Swimming course takes 80 hours of training, so it's much longer.
|
|
Philip:
|
Eighty hours!
That's a lot more than 3 days!
|
|
Maria:
|
Sure is! And then
the City Swimschool courses are for teaching children, while
the coaching course is for teaching all ages. I really want
to teach children to swim.
|
|
Philip:
|
Hmmm. What about
the cost? Is Swimschool more expensive?
|
|
Maria:
|
Yes it is, but
it's only $20 more. That's not much!
|
|
Philip:
|
No, it isn't,
is it? Sounds like you prefer the Swimschool courses, Maria.
|
|
Maria:
|
I think you're
right!
|
|
Philip:
|
So tell me, why
do you prefer Swimschool?
|
|
Maria:
|
OK. With Swimschool
you do a basic course first. It has a lot of information about
teaching swimming and about water safety. I like that.
|
|
Philip:
|
Yes, that's very
useful.
|
|
Maria:
|
It is. Then in
the next course you learn more about teaching school aged children.
That's what I really want to do.
|
|
Philip:
|
If that's what
you want, then do it!
|
|
Maria:
|
OK! I'll phone
them and get an enrolment form right now!
|
|
Philip:
|
OK. Good. See
you later!
