To record a message on your Encel answerphone, just dial 234 and follow the instructions. When callers have left messages, it costs just 10p per minute to hear them. The cost of a call depends on the time of day you make it. It is normally cheaper to make calls between 6.00 p.m and 6.00 a.m. However, with Encel, it is possible to choose a different period. You have the choice of morning hours (7.00 a.m – 11.00 a.m.); lunchtime (11.00 a.m – 3.00 p.m.); or afternoon (3.00 p.m. – 7.00 p.m.)." According to this information, the statement "The time period when call charges are at their lowest is fixed by Encel." is true or false.

Read the passage: "Circus Oz. In 1977 two already successful circus groups, Soapbox Circus and the New Circus, joined together to start Circus Oz. the performers loved ordinary circus skills but they wanted to make a different kind of show, adding music, theatre and comment. They got together a collection of old trucks and caravans and went on the road. It was a fresh and original voice in circus and was immediately popular with audiences. Only one of the original members of the circus remains now but it has kept the same aims. Since that time, Circus Oz has performed in 26 different countries. In the mid-1980s new circus groups began to appear across the world and Circus Oz performers went to train with acrobats from China’s Nanjing Acrobatic Troupe. Many of the skills learnt then are still in the show. Although the style is now definitely Circus Oz rather than Chinese. As with all circuses, performances take place inside a tent or Big Top. Circus Oz’s first tent was sewn together by performers in a large basement. It was used for years to tour Australia but when it became too small, Circus Oz was forced to hire tents or move into theatres. In 2002, Circus Oz had a new tent made. It is designed with a few poles inside so people watching can see better than in other circuses. The performances are suitable for people of all ages and each show features a live band. The Big Top is heated and air-conditioned but audiences need to dress for the time of year. Snacks and drinks are served in the Big Top but not full meals. Circus Oz classes are held at the Circus Oz Headquarters in Port Melbourne. Every Saturday of the school term there are classes for both children and teenagers. The Introduction to Circus class is for 7-12 years old, taking the children through a range of circus skills with a focus on developing good form and having fun. The Circus Skills class is for 8-12 years old, and is offered to children who have already done a few terms of Introduction to Circus. The Teenage Special class is for 13-18 years old. This class is for both beginners and those who are continuing from the Circus Skills class. Classes are also run during some of the school holidays. There is a class for 7-12 years old along with a teenage class. Both classes are for beginners and those who have been practising their skills for a while." According to this passage, the statement "Circus Oz was formed by people who had some experience of working in circuses." is true or false.
