Good morning. We are delighted that you have decided to join our tour of historic Castle Killackey and its grounds today. We are sure you'll be fascinated by the many displays of artifacts of 12th century warfare and everyday life in a feudal society.
We will start here in the castle itself with a tour of every room and hall,including the infamous castle tower, called the "keep", which was really dungeon where prisoners were held. This will take us about twohours all together with a short 15 minutes restroom break.
We'll then move on to the outer buildings, starting with the stables and blacksmith forge. Following that, we will break for 1 hour and 15 minutesfor lunch - authentic middle ages food served in the castle dining hall.
Then this afternoon we will spend another 90 minutes visiting a few of the local cottages where the Lord's workers, or "serfs" as they were called, would have lived.

The following is a Public Service Announcement from WPXX Radio.This is State Secretary of Health, Brian Fowler, with an importantmessage. The summer storm season is approaching and thereare several precautions we all should take and dangers we must be aware of. In this message, I wish to address one of them: dirtywater. Beyond the major destruction of homes and property caused, one of the main results of tropical storms is the disruption and contamination of the water supply. Dirty water can carry germsthat make you temporarily or permanently ill or even kill you. After a storm, listen for reports from local officials to learn if tapwater is safe. Until you hear that it is safe, use only bottled, boiled,or chemically treated water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and brushing your teeth. Be sure to boil water for at least one minutesto kill germs. In my next message, I will talk about electricity andthe hazards of power failures during and after a storm. Thank you.

Questions 83-85 refer to the following talk.
Today, I'd like to talk about an important but overlookedpoint and common error in the preparation and serving of your meat dishes. You have selected your cut of meat for just the right amount of lean and fat. You haveseasoned it to your taste and cooked it to perfection.
And now you are going to cut it up and serve it, right?Wrong. If you slice beef too quickly after cooking, your steaks can be dry and your roasts tough and hardto chew. Allowing the meat to stand for only a couple ofminutes gives the natural juices time to redistributeand reduces moisture loss. So, how long should one wait?
Follow these guidelines: Steaks - wait one to two minutes.Roasts - wait 10 to 15 minutes. And remember: always usea sharp knife, use a wooden cutting board to prevent slipping, and carve meat into slices by cutting across the grain.
