Read the text about the Riverside Food Festival. Then read each statement carefully and decide whether it is true, false or not mentioned.
On Wednesday evening, five volunteers met at the community centre to discuss the Riverside Food Festival. The event would take place in the town square on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Fourteen local businesses had agreed to take part.
Maya, the main organiser, had several problems to report. The Blue Apron Café had cancelled its stall because its oven had broken down. The printed programmes also contained the wrong time for Chef Roberto’s cooking demonstration. They said that it would begin at noon, but he could not arrive before 2 p.m.
Tomas opened a box of posters. They had arrived on Tuesday, but they showed the wrong date: Sunday instead of Saturday. There was also a problem with the children’s activity area. It needed six tables, but the rental company had delivered only four.
Daniel sighed. “I’ve had enough of receiving bad news at the last minute.”
“I’m fed up with changing the timetable every day,” Leila added.
Tomas suggested moving two tables from the eating area, but Maya disagreed politely. “I’m not quite sure I agree. Visitors will need somewhere to sit while they eat.”
“The first thing we should do is decide which problems are the most urgent,” Maya said.
Daniel pointed to the empty stall. “Have you thought about inviting another local business?”
“Why don’t we contact a bakery?” Leila suggested.
Tomas nodded. “Maya, if I were you, I would call the owners personally.”
The volunteers also discussed ways to improve the layout of the festival.
“I think the town square needs a more welcoming atmosphere,” Leila said.
Tomas looked confused. “What exactly do you mean?”
“Visitors should understand where to go as soon as they arrive,” Leila explained.
“Could you give me an example?” Tomas asked.
“We could place signs near the entrances and create an information point,” Leila replied.
Leila then turned to Maya. “Can you tell me why the cooking-demonstration time was changed before we discussed it?”
“Well, you see, Chef Roberto called me while I was at work,” Maya answered. “He could not cancel an important delivery at his restaurant.”
“To be honest, I updated the online draft quickly because I was worried that I would forget,” she added. “I didn’t mean to leave anyone out of the discussion.”
“Is there a reason why the demonstration cannot begin at 2.30 p.m.?” Daniel asked. “That would give Chef Roberto more time to prepare.”
The next evening, the volunteers met again. Maya had good news. The Green Oven Bakery had agreed to take the empty stall. The rental company would deliver the two missing tables at 8.30 on Saturday morning. Chef Roberto had accepted the new starting time of 2.30 p.m.
Six volunteers would add correct-date stickers to the posters on Friday evening. Maya had already updated the digital programme. The information point would be placed beside the fountain, and four signs would help visitors find the different areas.
Daniel smiled. “It looks as though we have solved the main problems.”
The festival had been difficult to organise, but the volunteers had learned that problems become easier to solve when people explain their concerns clearly, ask polite questions and suggest practical solutions.
