A community centre can afford to add two regular two-hour sessions each weekend. A consultation was completed by 180 residents. Respondents could support more than one proposal.
| Proposed activity | Residents likely to attend at least monthly | Residents offering to help at least monthly | Residents reporting no similar activity nearby |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quiet study and application support | 78 | 7 | 49 |
| Community music practice | 61 | 6 | 38 |
| Repair and mending workshop | 46 | 17 | 35 |
| Family games session | 67 | 14 | 21 |
Using weekend opening hours
Write the text of a speech for a public meeting attended by local residents, activity organisers and members of the centre committee.
Give your views on how the two weekend sessions should be allocated. Use the consultation findings to support and qualify your recommendations. Address likely disagreements and explain how the arrangement could be reviewed after an initial trial, rather than treating the survey result as a final decision.
Your response will be assessed for communication and organisation, and for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation. The total includes 16 marks for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation.
