The keyword concerned in Q3 is “a computer”.
Salesman mentioned “two thousand pounds per claim and the following items are limited to 600 pounds per group per claim: valuables, musical instruments and any data storage devices apart from computers, such as CDs. DVDs, cassettes and computer games.” and Q3 wants to know the money insured for a computer. We can understand that Salesman said two thousand pounds per claim and the following items are limited to 600 pounds means that two thousand pounds for a claim: valuables, musical instruments and any data storage devices apart from computers, such as CDs. DVDs, cassettes and computer games; and 600 pounds for a group of this claim if want to buy more items. So, the money insured for a computer is two thousand pounds.
For these reasons, the answer is D.
- 4 Answer: C

The following items are limited to 600 pounds per group per claim: valuables, musical instruments and any data storage devices apart from computers, such as CDs. DVDs, cassettes and computer games. So, the money insured for two musical instruments is 600 pounds (the following items)
For these reasons, the answer is C
- 5 Answer: C

The following items are limited to 600 pounds per group per claim: valuables, musical instruments and any data storage devices apart from computers, such as CDs. DVDs, cassettes and computer games. So, the money insured for ten computer games is 600 pounds (the following items)
For these reasons, the answer is C.
- 6 Answer: B
The keyword concerned in Q6 is “three suits”.
Salesman mentioned “Clothes are limited to a maximum of two hundred and fifty pounds”. It means that the insurance company will provide a maximum of two hundred and fifty pounds for clothes. So it doesn’t depend on how many clothes student need.
For these reasons, the answer is B.
Questions 7-10
Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
Academic 7 are insured up to £5000.
The 8 is valid until the end of June.
The insurance company has a 9
The insurance company’s office is usually open until 10
- 7 Answer: (course) fees
The keywords concerned in Q7 should be “academic”, “are” and “insured up to £5000”. So the answer must be a plural noun.
Salesman said “Course fees you have paid or are liable to pay in the academic year up to five thousand pounds in total are also covered”.
However, you might wrongly think the answer is academic year. Firstly, year is a singular noun. Secondly, academic year is not the subject which is insured up to £5000.
Course fees are the subject which are covered up to £5000 in the academic year
For these reasons, the answer is Course fees.
- 8 Answer: special introductory rate
The keyword concerned in Q8 is “is valid until the end of June”. So the answer must be a noun.
Student asked whether the special introductory rate still apply and mentioned it’s valid until the end of June.
This question quite easy to answer, the answer is special introductory rate.
- 9 Answer: 24-hour/twenty four-hour helpline
The keywords concerned in Q9 are “Insurance company” and “a 24”. So the answer must be a noun.
It is clearly stated that they have a "24-hour helpline" which provides advice and counseling.
So, the answer is 24-hour helpline.
- 10 Answer: 5 (o’clock)
The keywords concerned in Q10 are “office” and “usually open until”. So the answer can be a number.
Q10 mentioned “open until” means “close”.
Salesman said the office normally close at 5.
However, he also said that “I’ll be here until 6 today”. Firstly, Q10 asked for when office usually close, the subject which close in Q10 is the office while Salesman said he would be here until 6, the subject mentioned is Salesman. Secondly, Q10 mentioned usually while Salesman said until 6 today.
Therefore, the answer is 5 (o’clock).

SECTION 1
Student: Good morning. Is that Copewell well insurance ? I’d like to ask you a few questions about getting insurance.
Salesman: Certainly. What kind of insurance are you looking for?
Student: Well, I’m a student and I need comprehensive cover-you know, against theft, damage, legal problems …
Salesman: I see. Students are unfortunately attractive targets for thieves. Student accommodation is a particular target because it often contains several highly portable and valuable items such as laptops. We offer cover specially designed for the needs of students, covering students in several key areas.
Student: Oh, that sounds like it’s exactly what I need. Please tell me more.
Salesman: Well, the first area we cover is room contents . We provide insurance cover for your belongings on a ‘new for old’ basis, including desktop computers, against theft, burst pipes, fire, vandalism , storm and flood.
Student: Does that also cover me if I live in university accommodation?
Salesman: Yes, it does. It also covers any shared areas in your accommodation and anything you leave in locked storage on campus at any time.
Student: Is there a limit on claims of this nature?
Salesman: Yes, there is. Individual items are limited to two thousand pounds per claim and the following items are limited to 600 pounds per group per claim: valuables, musical instruments and any data storage devices apart from computers, such as CDs. DVDs, cassettes and computer games. Clothes are limited to a maximum of two hundred and fifty pounds . However, cover for items above these amounts is available for an additional premium .
Student: I see. And how about accidental damage?
Salesman: We cover contents against accidental damage occurring while they are in your rooms and we cover replacement keys and locks, up to £150, if you lose your keys.
Student: Does this cover items that I leave in my accommodation during holidays?
Salesman: Yes, it does, but the limit is lower-up to three thousand pounds in total-and there is only cover for up to 35 days. That is if the rooms are unoccupied continuously for 35 days.
Student: I understand. Am I also covered against theft whilst travelling?
Salesman: Yes, you are. I should also point out that your mobile phone is fully coveredand the insurance covers any airtime abuse by the thief up to 150 pounds .
Student: Great. What about legal and health problems?
Salesman: Your legal expenses are covered up to fifty thousand pounds for defending claims against you, for claiming against other people for damage or injuiy they cause you, and tenancy disputes . The last one is particularly useful for students. Course fees you have paid or are liable to pay in the academic year up to five thousand pounds in total are also covered, if as a result of your illness , death or accident you have to leave your course early, or if a parent on whom you rely for financial support suffers illness or redundancy .
Student: That’s sounds very comprehensive indeed. Does the special introductory rate still apply? It savs here that it’s valid until the end of June.

Salesman: You can ask for me. My name is stephens .
Student: Right. My name is Shipton, Annie Shipton.
Salesman: OK I’ll see you this afternoon. We normally close the office at 5 but I’ll be here until 6 today.
