  Hello, our dear premium listener, and welcome to speaking part two.

• 00:08

  Describe a public facility, a museum or a library that has been renovated and improved.

• 00:17

  You should say what the facility is when it was renovated and improved.

• 00:22

  What has been renovated and improved, and explain how you feel about it.

• 00:28

  Rory here.

• 00:29

  Hello.

• 00:30

  Are we ready to go?

• 00:31

  Yes, let's start.

• 00:38

  Well, it's funny, actually, because we just had a new swimming pool facility built in the centre of my hometown.

• 00:44

  It's an upgraded version of the old one that we had down by the riverside.

• 00:49

  So this is like a new building, but with the same name and operated by the same company.

• 00:55

  The place itself is called Olympia, probably after the place where all the greek gods lived.

• 01:00

  And like I said, it's a swimming pool, although I think that's not telling the whole story and selling it a bit short.

• 01:07

  It was designed as a sort of indoor water park, and the new building has kept this idea in mind despite the big move to a new location.

• 01:15

  This happened about in the last year or so.

• 01:18

  I'd say that they demolished the old building and opened up the new one simultaneously.

• 01:23

  So that was a pretty seamless transfer, or at least it seems like that.

• 01:26

  I don't know much about it.

• 01:28

  It's got the same facilities as before, slides, pools, flumes, etcetera.

• 01:34

  But they're all more modern and so they should be safer, at least in theory.
