Section 1
You will hear a telephone conversation between
the accommodation officer at a university and a
student.
F: Good morning. National University
Accommodation Office. Rosemary speaking. How
can I help you?
M:
Hi. I’m coming to do a short course at the
university this summer, and I’d like to book some
accommodation, please.
F: OK. Have you seen the online booking form on
our website?
M:
Oh no, sorry. I didn’t realise …
F:
Don’t worry – I can fill it in for you now if you like
– then I can email it to you so you can check it and
submit it online. Will that be OK?
M: Oh yes, thanks.
F:
OK. First of all, what’s your surname?
M:
BLAKE
– that’s B-L-A-K-E.
F:
OK … and your first name?
M: Daniel.
F: Is that D-A-N-I-E-L?
M:
Yes, that’s right.
F: Thank you. And have you studied with us
before?
M: Yes, I have.
F:
Great
– then you’ll have an ID document with a
number. Have you got that to hand?
M:
Yes … um … here we are. The number is
410623.
F:
Thank you. And I’m putting ‘male’ for gender.
M:
That’s correct.
F:
Could I take an email address, please?
M:
Sure, it’s d.blake@internet.com – all lower case.
F:
OK … so that’s d.blake@internet.com.
M:
That’s correct.
F: And do you have a phone number where you
can be reached if there’s a problem?
M:
Yes, that’s 0779 435354
F: 453354?
M: No, 435354.
F:
OK. I’ve got it.
F:
So, you said you’re going to be studying with us
in the summer. What course are you doing?
M:
I’ve enrolled to do Art History.
F: And which start date have you selected? The
first of July?
M:
No, the later one. Umm …
F: The fourth of August.
M:
That’s it.
F: And what type of accommodation would you like
to book
– was it full board, half board, bed and
breakfast or self-catering?
M:
Self-catering, please.
F: OK
– and did you want a single room or a
shared room?
M:
Oh, I hadn’t thought about that really. Is there a
difference in price?
F: Yes, the shared room is much cheaper, but I
can’t guarantee who you’d be sharing with at this
stage.
M:
I see … no, I don’t want to share – let’s say
single. I can see the prices here in the prospectus
–
it’s not too expensive.
F:
Good. And you’ll see you can also pay extra for
a private bathroom if you want.
M: Ah yes
– that sounds like a good idea.
F:
So shall I put ‘private’? You can always change
it before you send the form in if you have second
thoughts.
M:
Yes, OK. Let’s do that.
F:
And finally, Daniel, will you need a parking
place?
M: Oh, yes, please.
F: I need to put here the type of vehicle
– just
whether it’s a bicycle, a motorbike or a car, you
know.
M:
Yes, it’s for a car.
F:
OK. Well, that’s all. I’ll email you this now and
you can check it and send it in with your deposit.
M: Thanks.
F: Did you want to pay fifty pounds or one hundred
pounds as your initial deposit?
M: Oh, one hundred please.
F: Thank you. A credit card payment will be
prompted when you submit the form.
M: OK.
F: Is there anything else I can help you with?
M:
No, that’s all. Thank you very much.
F: My pleasure. Goodbye.
