  • 1 Answer: 19.75
    • The keyword concerned in Q1 must be “Bimgley's”.

    • From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a value in US dollars.

    • Jacinta tells Lewis that there is one place called Bimgley's that looks possible, it's 19.75 dollars a night that's US dollars.

    • Note: It might be confusing to select 26 or 27 as the answer but that is in New Zealand dollars and not in US dollars.

  • 2 Answer: theme
    • The keyword concerned in Q2 must be “cafe” and “nights.

    • From the question, we can assume that the answer must be something that is regular, since it is written that they have theme nights every weekend, it is a regular happening.

    • Thus, the correct answer is “theme”.

  • 3 Answer: quiet
    • The keywords concerned in Q3 must be “alpine setting”.

    • From the question, we can assume that the answer must be about a place.

    • As we can see, this is about the Chalet Lodge and Jacinta says that “it’s got an alpine setting… a ‘quiet’ alpine setting”.

    • As “quiet” is the characteristic of that alpine setting, the correct answer is “quiet”.

  • 4 Answer: children
    • The keywords concerned in Q4 must be “are welcome”.

    • From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun and must be some person or age group who are welcome.

    • Lewis says that the Lodge is ‘children friendly which means children are welcome. Hence “children” is the correct answer.

  • 5 Answer: breakfast
    • The keywords concerned in Q5 must be “included” and it must come after they talk about the town centre.

    • From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun.

    • Jacinta explicitly states that a Globetrotters is just by the lake and includes breakfast. Therefore, the answer for Q5 must be “breakfast”.

    Note: Jacinta also says that Globetrotters do private rooms but this is not the correct answer as this is not a special feature mentioned, but rather a  basic information.  

     

  • 6 Answer: (free) sky(-)dive
    • The keywords concerned in Q6 must be “chance to win”.

    • From the question, we can assume that the answer must be a noun.

    • Jacinta says that Globetrotters give one (free) skydive away to guests every day which means there is a chance to win that for them.

    • Hence, the correct answer must be (free) skydive”.

Section 1

Jacinta:     Hi, Lewis it's Jacmta here

Lewis:     Oh. hi, Jacinta. I was just going to call you I was thinking we ought to do something about accommodation for our trip to Queenstown

Jacinta:     Yeah, actually that's just why I rang you I've been looking on the Internet - there was one place that looked OK called Travellers' Lodge, but when I checked availability for January when we're planning to go I found it was fully booked.

Lewis:     Right - well, we’d better do something now I suppose.

Jacinta:     We've actually got a list up here on the computer, there's one place called Bimgley's that looks possible, it's 19.75 dollars a night that's US dollars, they quote all the prices in US dollars.

Lewis:     So that's about 26 or 27 New Zealand dollars. That's OK. That'll be in a dormitory, is it?

Jacinta:     Yeah they say 8-bed dorms .And the hostel's right in the town centre and they've got a cafe, they have theme nights every weekend, whatever that means ...

Lewis:     Oh, you know, like certain sorts of food and music and people might wear special clothes like that Egyptian evening we went to last year

Jacinta:     Oh, OK. What else, they've got a sundeck area, and then all the usual things Internet access and so on.

Lewis:     Sounds good. Was there anywhere else?

Jacinta:     Yeah, a couple more places. There's one called Chalet Lodge which is just 18.00 US dollars, that's for a bed in a 12-bed dorm. They do single and family rooms as well. It looks as if it's a bit out of town, says it's got an alpine setting ... a 'quiet' alpine setting. What do you think?

Lewis:     Mmm, not sure ..

Jacinta:     Oh, but actually it’s not far out at all .. it says 10 minutes' walk from town, so ... Oh, and it says it’s ’children friendly'.

Lewis:     Mmm. I'm not so sure about that. What about the third place?

Jacinta:     Aah. That's called Globetrotters let's see, they do private rooms, or 5-bed dorms for 18.50 - it's in the centre, just by the lake and that includes breakfast

Lewis:     Didn't the other two?

Jacinta:     I don't think so. They didn't mention it, so probably not. Oh, and it says something about a free skydive .. wow!

Lewis:     Don’t know if I’m all that keen on lumping out of aeroplanes..

Jacinta:     Oh, actually what it says is you can win a chance to do a skydive they give one away every day to one of the guests.

Lewis:     Well, if I win it, you can do it. Anyway, do they have room?

Jacinta:     Yeah, I checked the availability. Shall I go ahead and book there then?

Lewis:     Fine.

Jacinta:     I was looking at what there is to do, too .. there are lots of sites offering deals for adventure sports ah, I suppose we have to do a bungee jump.

Lewis:     Why?

Jacinta:     Well, it's Queenstown where they more or less started it as a sport.

Lewis:     You can . If you really want to jump off the side of a bridge with an elastic rope tied round your ankles... I'll watch 

Jacinta:     OK. So what do you want to do?

Lewis:     As far as adventure sports go? I was talking to someone who went white-water rafting there he said it was really awesome. They drive you up the Shotover River and then you come down on a rubber raft through the white-water rapids, where the river's really narrow and fast, and end up going through a tunnel nearly 200 metres long. I think it's quite expensive, though.

Jacinta:     Oh. I'm on for that if you are.

Lewis:     Cool!

Jacinta:     The other thing you can do is the jet-boat ride that sounded just a lot of noise though. It's basically just whizzing round on the river on a very fast boat, isn't it?

Lewis:     My friend did that as well - hp said it was a bit touristy but worth it. I'll give it a go. You go right up the river canyon. He said the drivers were really skillful, But I don't mind going on my own.

Jacinta:     But there's lots to do as well as the whole commercial adventure bit, we ought to do some trekking. The scenery round there's amazing, I don't want to miss that. The place to start’s Glenorchy, apparently about 40 minutes' drive, that's where lots of the wilderness trails begin.

Lewis:     OK, I'll pack my walking boots. I'd better start getting in training ... I haven't done anything except sit at my desk for months. Now. is there anything else we need to decide?
