剑桥雅思4test4section1听力原文及答案

听力原文

LISA:Hi Tony,thanks ever so much for coming.You know we’ve been asked to organize something for John’s farewell?

TONY:Yeah,sure,it’s about time we started working out details.

LISA:Exactly.We don’t want to leave it so late that it’s double the work.

TONY:Mmm,mm,right,do you want me to take notes?

LISA:That’d be great,thanks.

TONY:Right,first thing is,when is the best time to hold it?

LISA:Well,he leaves on the twenty-fourth of December.

TONY:So what about the twenty-second?Example

LISA:Yeah,I think that’s about right.We want it quite near the time,don’t we?

TONY:Sure,and what about a venue?In college?A hotel?

LISA:I think a hotel will probably work out rather expensive,and I’ve been looking at the College Dining Room;that seems pretty reasonable.Q1

TONY:Fine,yeah,why not?

LISA:And then we ought to be thinking about invitations…Who mustn’t we forget to invite?

TONY:Well,obviously John and his wife.

LISA:Right.

TONY:And the Director.

LISA:Ah ha.

TONY:The office staff.Q2

LISA:Yep,and all the teachers and all the students.Q3

TONY:Anyone else?

LISA:Faculty Heads?

TONY:No,better draw the line,I don’t think it’s necessary.

LISA:Yeah,you’re right.

TONY:I don’t mind writing the invitations.When shall we get them out for?

LISA:Enough time but not too early.What about the fifteenth of December?

TONY:Well,there are exams on the sixteenth–better avoid them.

LISA:Tenth?Q4

TONY:Yeah,that should do it.

LISA:So what does that leave?Oh yes,a present.

TONY:Would you mind doing that?

LISA:No,not at all;we usually go round with an envelope during the coffee break,don’t we?Q5

TONY:Yeah,coffee break’s always the best time,‘cos people have got their money handy.

LISA:Yeah,exactly.Do we suggest an amount?Or does it seem a bit unfair?

TONY:No,I think people welcome it.We suggested six dollars last time,is that OK?Q6

LISA:Yeah,plenty I would have thought,which should leave us with about ninety dollars.

TONY:Have you any ideas for presents?

LISA:Well,I’ve been having a little think.I thought,you know,he loves music.

TONY:Yeah,and books.

LISA:So,I thought I’d check on prices for,well,perhaps CD players.

TONY:Yeah,that’s a,that’s a good idea,and also I thought maybe,you know,a set of dictionaries.I heard him say he needed a good one.Q7

LISA:The other thing he was saying last week was that his computer printer had broken.

TONY:Umm.No,I’d be really frightened about getting the wrong type.

LISA:OK,yeah.

TONY:The other thing is something for the home–Jill suggested a coffee maker.

LISA:Oh yeah.I’ll certainly find out what they cost.OK,have you got all that down?

TONY:Yes.

LISA:Now we need to think a little more about the money.I know we’ve got a set amount from the Social Fund.

TONY:Right,what does that cover?

LISA:It’s meant to cover the cost of the room.

TONY:Yeah.

LISA:And a certain amount for food.

TONY:And also drinks?

LISA:Oh yeah,certainly.

TONY:But will it be enough?

LISA:What we’ve done in the past is to ask guests to bring some snacks.

TONY:Right.

LISA:We don’t ask them to bring more drinks because we figure that’s..,that should come from the Social Fund.

TONY:OK.Anything else for the guests to bring?

LISA:Well,some music,because there’ll be a tape deck there in the room,and we can have some dancing later on.Q8

TONY:Anything else?

LISA:Well,it’s just a thought,but a couple of years ago we had a really good party

where we set up2 you know,some simple games.

TONY:Yeah,great.Wasn’t it based on photos from the students and teachers?

LISA:That’s right.

TONY:So we should ask the guests to bring photos.OK.I’ll put it on the invitations.Q9

LISA:Now the last thing is,who shall we ask to do the speech?Q10

TONY:Don’t you think it might be nice to have one of the students?

LISA:Well then,the Student Leader?

TONY:Yeah,much better than the Director giving speeches again.

LISA:OK then,I’ll ask her.Lovely!So,is that all?

TONY:Looks like it.

LISA:Great.Thanks ever so much…(fade out)
