Giải đề IELTS Premier – Test 1 – Listening Part 1

RECEPTIONIST: Good morning, Clevedon College, can I help you?

CALLER: Yes, please. I’d like some information about evening courses this term.

RECEPTIONIST: Okay. Which subjects are you interested in?

CALLER: Two subjects, actually. Languages and Computer Skills.

RECEPTIONIST: Okay. What languages are you interested in?

CALLER: Actually, I’m not sure. I have to fulfil a language requirement for school, but I haven’t really decided what language to study. Um … how many language courses do you run each week?

RECEPTIONIST: We have two every night, from Monday to Friday.

CALLER: I’m sorry, but would you mind going through the schedule for me?

RECEPTIONIST: Not at all. Monday to Wednesday are Modem European Languages: French, Spanish, German, Dutch and Polish. Thursday night we offer ancient languages: Latin and Ancient Greek. And on Friday we finish off with the Asian languages of Hindi and Bengali.

CALLER: Monday to Wednesday, Modem European; Thursday, Ancient
Languages; and Friday, Asian … Can you spell Bengali please?

RECEPTIONIST: Yes, it’s B-E-N-G-A-L-1.

CALLER: Great. And how much do the courses cost?

RECEPTIONIST: Each course costs twenty-five pounds per person per term, but if you want to do two language courses, there’s a ten per cent discount, but only if you book for two terms.

CALLER: So the ten per cent discount is if I take two courses, for two
terms, is that right?

RECEPTIONIST: Right.

CALLER: Would it be possible for me to book my classes right now?

RECEPTIONIST: No, sorry, the computer’s down. What I suggest you do is call
extension 9694 … no, sorry … 6994, after 6 p.m., and ask for Mrs Johnson.

CALLER: I’m sorry, I didn’t get that. Did you say 6994 … after 6 p.m.?

RECEPTIONIST: Yes. 6994 … please ask for Mrs Johnson.

CALLER: Thanks. OK, can we now look at the Computer Skills courses?

RECEPTIONIST: Yes, of course. Computer classes always start in the first week of the month, and the way it works is we offer one computer class for the entire month. So you might spend one month on databases … another month on Excel, and so on. Classes meet once a week, on Tuesday afternoons. The next class starts February first.

CALLER: OK, so for the upcoming month … February?

RECEPTIONIST: February is going to be Databases. There are twenty-four places
still free on that course, and it costs forty pounds per person.

CALLER: February … Databases … twenty-four openings … forty pounds … okay …

RECEPTIONIST: Excel starts in March, and that’s nearly full – only four slots left. It’s forty-five pounds.

CALLER: Okay, Excel… March … only four slots left. Got it.

RECEPTIONIST: April is Outlook. That is never as popular since it costs so much more, but you get a free CD. It is sixty pounds for the month, and there are nineteen places left.

CALLER: Okay, April. .. Outlook … sixty pounds. Is that it?

RECEPTIONIST: No, on the third of June, we start a Word course. We have sixteen vacancies for that at the moment. It’s also expensive at fifty-five pounds.

CALLER: Third of June … Word … sixteen vacancies … fifty-five pounds. Now, do I call the same number to book a place on one of these classes?

RECEPTIONIST: No, you have to call Mary Jones, I think. Yes, Mary Jones … extension 9623.

CALLER: Sorry, could you repeat that number?

RECEPTIONIST: Yes … extension 9623. Please call her before 6 p.m.

CALLER: Okay. Many thanks for all your help.
