--- first listen and then answer the question.[00:00:07]
--- how long has mr.page been teaching?[00:00:13]
i have just received a letter from my old school, informing me that my former headmaster, mr. stuart page, will be retiring next week.[00:00:18]
pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending him a present to mark the occasion.[00:00:31]
all those who have contributed towards the gift will sign their names in a large album which will be sent to the headmaster's home.[00:00:39]
we shall all remember mr. page for his patience and understanding and for the kindly encouragement he gave us when we went so unwillingly to school.[00:00:48]
a great many former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his honour next thursday.[00:01:00]
it is a curious coincidence that the day before his retirement, mr. page will have been teaching for a total of forty years.[00:01:08]
after he has retired, he will devote himself to gardening.[00:01:19]
for him, this will be an entirely new hobby.[00:01:24]
but this does not matter, for, as he has often remarked, one is never too old to learn.[00:01:29]
