[00:10.07]How long has Mr. Page been teaching?
[00:14.47]I have just received a letter from my old school, 
[00:18.67]informing me that my former headmaster, 
[00:22.06]Mr. Stuart Page, will be retiring next week.
[00:27.45]Pupils of the school old and new, 
[00:30.52]will be sending him a present to mark the occasion.
[00:35.03]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.
[00:45.03]We shall all remember Mr. Page for his patience and understanding 
[00:50.90]and for the kindly encouragement he gave us when we went so unwillingly to school.
[00:58.98]A great many former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his honour next Thursday.
[01:06.90]It is a curious coincidence that the day before his retirement, 
[01:12.47]Mr. Page will have been teaching for a total of forty years.
[01:18.16]After he has retired he will devote himself to gardening.
[01:23.72]For him, this will be an entirely new hobby.
[01:28.56]But this does not matter,
[01:31.42] for, as he has often remarked, one is never too old to learn.
