Transcript

You will hear a telephone conversation between a woman who is selling some furniture and a man who is making enquiries about it. First, you have some time to look atquestions 1 to 5.

[20 seconds]

You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only the conversation relating to this will be played first.

WOMAN: Hello, Carolyn speaking.
MAN: Hello. My name is Lincoln Farraday and Im ringing to see if you still have the bedroom furniture that you advertised for sale?
WOMAN: Yes, there are three items left two bedside tables and a dressing table.

The woman said she has three items available so three has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.

WOMAN: Hello, Carolyn speaking.
MAN: Hello. My name is Lincoln Farraday and Im ringing to see if you still have the bedroom furniture that you advertised for sale?
WOMAN: Yes, there are three items left two bedside tables and a dressing table.
MAN: Oh, good. Theyre just the items Im after. Tell me, whats the construction of the bedside tables I mean, what are they made of?
WOMAN: Well, theyre a matching pair and theyre made of wood but the wood has been painted, its not brown anymore, its been painted cream.
MAN: I see.
WOMAN: Each table has a shelf and 2 drawers. Oh, and the drawers have square brass handles quite modern and quite nice really.
MAN: And what about the dimensions?
WOMAN: Well, each table is 50 centimetres wide
MAN: Thats good, much bigger than that and they wouldnt fit beside my bed. I live in an apartment where the bedrooms are quite small. What I really need to know is how tall they are you see my beds quite high.
WOMAN: 65 centimetres high and 45 centimetres deep.
MAN: Thanks. Just a couple more questions about the bedside tables, what condition are they in and how much are they?
WOMAN: Theyre in perfect condition there isnt a mark on them, you know. I had them painted professionally, you see, so the finish is much better than youd normally expect. As for how much well, I guess I think fifteen pounds each would be a fair price, but Ive decided that Ill only sell them together, as a pair, so that means the price is thirty pounds all up.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
[20 seconds]

Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.

MAN: Now, can you tell me about the dressing table?
WOMAN: Yes, it matches the other tables in colour and style.
MAN: Good how many drawers does it have?
WOMAN: Five altogether. Um the bottom two drawers hold more as theyre deep.
MAN: Mmm and the dimensions how wide is it? Thats all I need to know it wouldnt be more than a metre and a half, would it?
WOMAN: Well, just under actually its ah, 1.25 metres across.
MAN: Does it have a mirror?
WOMAN: Three.
MAN: Sorry?
WOMAN: It has three mirrors you know a central one and a narrower one on each side. And theyre all adjustable.
MAN: I see and the overall condition of the dressing table?
WOMAN: Well, it has a couple of scratches on the surface but its still in good condition so Im asking fifty pounds.
MAN: Could I call round and have a look later today?
WOMAN: What time were you thinking of?
MAN: In about half an hour
WOMAN: Oh, yes, thats fine. By the way, my name is Carolyn Kline its on the gate at the front of the house.
MAN: Kline is that K-L-I-N-E?
WOMAN: Thats right. And I live at 19 Domain Road.
MAN: Did you say the main road?
WOMAN: No, Domain D-O-M-A-I-N Road.
MAN: Thats just off Ash Grove, isnt it?
WOMAN: Yes. See you soon then
MAN: Yes, in about 30 minutes.
