剑桥雅思16 Test4 Part1雅思听力原文

SHIRLEY:Hello?

TOM:Oh hello.I was hoping to speak to Jack Fitzgerald about renting a cottage.

SHIRLEY:I’m his wife,Shirley,and we own the cottages together,so I’m sure I can help you.

TOM:Great.My name’s Tom.Some friends of ours rented Granary Cottage from you last year,and they thought it was great.So my wife and I are hoping to come in May for a week.

SHIRLEY:What date did you have in mind?

TOM:The week beginning the 14th,if possible.

SHIRLEY:I’ll just check…I’m sorry,Tom,it’s already booked that week.It’s free the week beginning the 28th(Q1),though,for seven nights.In fact,that’s the only time you could have it in May.

TOM:Oh.Well,we could manage that,I think.We’d just need to change a couple of things.How much would it cost?

SHIRLEY:That’s the beginning of high season,so it’d be£550(Q2)for the week.

TOM:Ah.That’s a bit more than we wanted to pay,I’m afraid.We’ve budgeted up to£500 for accommodation.

SHIRLEY:Well,we’ve just finished converting another building into a cottage,which we’re calling Chervil(Q3)Cottage.

TOM:Sorry?What was that gain?

SHIRLEY:Chervil.C-H-E-R-V for Victor I-L.

TOM:Oh,that’s a herb,isn’t it?

SHIRLEY:That’s right.It grows fairly wild around here.You could have that for the week you want for£480.

TOM:OK.So could you tell me something about it,please?

SHIRLEY:Of course.The building was built as a garage(Q4).It’s a little smaller than Granary Cottage.

TOM:So that must sleep two people,as well?

SHIRLEY:That’s right.There’s a double bedroom.

TOM:Does it have a garden(Q5)?

SHIRLEY:Yes,you get to it from the living room through French doors,and we provide two deckchairs.We hope to build a patio in the near future,but I wouldn’t like to guarantee it’ll be finished by May.

TOM:OK.

SHIRLEY:The front door opens onto the old farmyard,and parking(Q6)isn’t a problem–there’s plenty of room at the front for that.There are some trees and potted plants there.

TOM:What about facilities in the cottage?It has standard things like a cooker and fridge,I presume.

SHIRLEY:In the kitchen area there’s a fridge-freezer and we’ve just put in an electric cooker.

TOM:Is there a washing machine?

SHIRLEY:Yes.There’s also a TV in the living room,which plays DVDs too.The bathroom is too small for a bath,so there’s a shower instead.I think a lot of people prefer that nowadays,anyway.

TOM:It’s more environmentally friendly,isn’t it?Unless you spend half the day in it!

SHIRLEY:Exactly.

TOM:What about heating?It sometimes gets quite cool at that time of year.

SHIRLEY:There’s central heating,and if you want to light a fire,there’s a stove.We can provide all the wood(Q7)you need for it.It smells so much nicer than coal,and it makes the room very cosy–we’ve got one in our own house.

TOM:That sounds very pleasant.Perhaps we should come in the winter,to make the most of it!

SHIRLEY:Yes,we find we don’t want to go out when we’ve got the fire burning.There are some attractive views from the cottage,which I haven’t mentioned.There’s a famous stone bridge(Q8)–it’s one of the oldest in the region,and you can see it from the living room.It isn’t far away.The bedroom window looks in the opposite direction,and has a lovely view of the hills and the monument(Q9)at the top.

TOM:Well,that all sounds perfect.I’d like to book it,please.Would you want a deposit?

SHIRLEY:Yes,we ask for thirty percent to secure your booking,so that’ll be,um,£144.

TOM:And when would you like the rest of the money?

SHIRLEY:You’re coming in May,so the last day of March(Q10),please.

TOM:Fine.

SHIRLEY:Excellent.Could I just take your details…
