剑9 test 3 Section 1雅思听力原文

MAN:          Greek Island Holidays, can I help you?

WOMAN:       Yes, I hope so. I have a friend who’s just come back from Corfu and she’s recommended some apartments in Arilas. She thought they might be on your list.

MAN:          Arilas, Arilas, let me see. Can you give me the names?

WOMAN:       Yes, the first’s Rose Garden Apartments. I’d like to go with another friend in the last week of October.

MAN:          Well, we’ve got a lovely studio flat available at that time. I’m sure you’d enjoy the entertainment programme there too, with Greek dancing (Example) in the restaurant.

WOMAN:       And the cost for each of us?

MAN:          ￡219.

WOMAN:       That sounds very reasonable! I’m just jotting down some notes. Now the second one she mentioned was called Blue Bay.

MAN:          Blue Bay? Yes, in fact that’s very popular and it has some special features.

WOMAN:       Really?

MAN:          The main attraction is the large swimming pool with salt water.

WOMAN:     Much healthier, I understand.

MAN:          That’s right. And it isn’t far from the beach, either- only 300 metres (Q1), and only around half a kilometre to some shops, so you don’t have to be too energetic.

WOMAN:       Is it much more expensive than the first one?

MAN:          Let me just check. I think at the time you want to go it’s around ￡260 – no ￡275 to be exact.

WOMAN:       Right, I’ve got that. Now there are just two more apartments to ask you about. Um, I can’t read my own writing! Something to do with sun … Sunshine, is it?

MAN:         I think you meant the Sunshade (Q2) Apartments. They’re on a mountainside.

WOMAN:       Any special features?

MAN:          Yes, each room has its own sun terrace and there are shared barbecue facilities.

WOMAN:       Sounds lovely!

MAN:          Yes, it is rather well-equipped. It also provides water sports – it has its own beach. There are facilities for water-skiing.

WOMAN:       Any kite-surfing? My friend’s quite keen.

MAN:          Not at the hotel but I’m sure you’ll find some in Arilas. There’s also satellite TV in the apartments.

WOMAN:       And how much is that one?

MAN:          ￡490 with two sharing.

WOMAN:       You mean ￡245 each?

MAN:          I’m afraid not! Each person has to pay that amount and there must be at least two in an apartment.

WOMAN:      I don’t think that would be within our budget, unfortunately. And the last one sounds a bit expensive too – the Grand!

MAN:          Actually it’s quite reasonable. It’s an older style house with Greek paintings in every room, and a balcony (Q3) outside.

WOMAN:       Sounds nice. What are the views like?

MAN:          Well, there are forests (Q4) all round and they hide a supermarket just down the road, so that’s very useful for all your shopping needs. There’s a disco in the area too.

WOMAN:       And the price?

MAN:          ￡319 (Q5) at that time, but if you leave it till November it goes down by 40%.

WOMAN:       Too late, I’m afraid.

MAN:          Well, why don’t I send you a brochure with full details, Ms … ?

WOMAN:       Nash. But don’t worry about that. I’m coming to Upminster soon and I’ll call and get one. I just wanted to get an idea first.

MAN:          Well, that’s fine. We’ve got plenty here when you come.

WOMAN:       If you’ve got a minute, could I just check a couple of points about insurance? I got one policy through the post but I’d like to see if yours is better.

MAN:          Fine. What would you like to know?

WOMAN:       Well, the one I’ve got has benefits and then the maximum amount you can claim. Is that like yours?

MAN:          Yes, that’s how most of them are.

WOMAN:       Well, the first thing is cancellation. If the holiday’s cancelled on the policy I’ve got, you can claim ￡8,000.

MAN:          We can improve on that, Ms Nash. For Greek Island holidays, our maximum is ￡10,000 (Q6).

WOMAN:       That’s good – of course our holiday won’t even cost ￡1,000 together!

MAN:          It’s still sensible to have good cover. Now, if you go to hospital, we allow ￡600.

WOMAN:       Yes, mine’s similar.

MAN:          And we also allow a relative (Q7) to travel to your holiday resort.

WOMAN:       My policy just says their representative will help you.

MAN:          You can see there’s another difference there. And what happens if you don’t get on the plane?

WOMAN:       Nothing, as far as I can see on this form.

MAN:          Don’t you have missed (Q8) departure?

WOMAN:       No, I’ll just jot that down.

MAN:          We pay up to ￡1,000 for that, depending on the reason. And we’re particularly generous about loss of personal belongings – up to ￡3,000, but not more than ￡500 for a single item (Q9).

WOMAN:       Then I’d better not take my laptop!

MAN:          Not unless you insure it separately.

WOMAN:       OK – thanks very much for your time – you’ve really been helpful. Can I get back to you? Your name is?

MAN:          Ben – Ludlow. That’s L-U-D-L-O-W (Q10). I’m the Assistant Manager here. I’ll give you my number. It’s 081260 543216.

WOMAN:       But didn’t I phone 081260 567294? That’s what I’ve got on the paper.

MAN:          That’s the main switchboard. I’ve given you my direct line.

WOMAN:       Right, thank you …
