10

  • 5 Answer: to the office/the office

    Question 5:

    • Key word is: “Where

    • From the clue “Where”, candidates can expect to hear a name of a place.

    • In the recording it said:I’ll go to the office”, so the answer is (to) the office.

    • Some candidates  may write “office” only rather than “(to) the office” and it may not be acceptable, so try to be specific.

  • 6 Answer: (his) brother

    Question 6:

    • Key words are: “Who” and “waiting

    • From the clue “Who”, candidates can expect to hear a name/ a noun which refer to a person, and from the word “is”, they can gather that this is just one person.

    • In the recording it said: “My brother’s waiting at the house”. So brother/his brother is the answer.

    • If candidates write “ my brother” or “your brother”, it will not be accepted.

  • 7 Answer: (by) 8 pm / 8 o’clock

    Question 7:

    • Key words are: “What time”and “come home

    • From the clue “What time”, candidates can gather the gap should be a time/number

    • In the recording it said: “ I should be home by eight.If I think I’ll be later than 8 o’clock I’ll call you”

    • Candidates might be confused at first when the recording said ;”I’ll be late home tonight. I’ve got a meeting at 5 o’clock.”, as they expect to hear the time she got home after she said “I’ll be late home tonight.”. However , if they listen further, they should easily find the answer. Some candidate may write “8/eight” only rather than “8pm” or “8 o’clock”, and it may not be acceptable, so try to be specific.

  • 8 Answer: City Square

    Question 8:

    • Key words are: “Where” and “Mary’s office”

    • From the clue “Where”, candidates can predict the gap should be a noun/a place.

    • In the recording it said: “It’s nice now that your office is in City Square”, and “City Square” are mentioned twice, so candidates have the chance to check if they cannot clearly catch the answer at the first time.

  • 9 Answer: People are funny

    Question 9:

    • Key words are: TV program” and “tonight”

    • From the clue “What TV program”, candidates can predict the gap should be a Title, and it should be more than one word, because rarely TV show has a one-word title.

    • In the recording it said: “What TV show? Oh, People are Funny”, so the answer is People are Funny.

    • The TV show name are mentioned twice, so candidates have the chance to check if they cannot clearly catch the phrase at the first time.

  • 10 Answer: (the) new office / Newtown / New Town

    Question 10:

    • Key words are: “Where” and “tomorrow

    • From the clue “Where”, candidates can predict the gap should be a noun/a place.

    • In the recording it said: “ I’m going to the new office at Newtown tomorrow”, so the answer can be: (the) new office / Newtown / New Town

 Section 1

Tom: Well, here we are. There’s certainly plenty to choose from.

Mary: I’m finding it hard to know’ where to start. Would you like to look at the answering machines? Tom: Let’s start there. I like this one.

Mary: We have a lot to buy, Tom. We can’t afford to pay $129 for an answering machine. And we can’t afford to pay $127.50 for the dual tape answering machine, either.

Tom: Alright. We’ll buy a cheaper one then. There’s this one for $89 or the smaller one for $59.95.

Mary: I like the square shape of the smaller one. It’ll fit neatly on my desk.

Tom: And it’s the cheapest. Okay. We’ll buy that one.

Tom: Well, here we are. There’s certainly plenty to choose from.

Mary: I’m finding it hard to know where to start. Would you like to look at the answering machines?

Tom: Let’s start there. I like this one.

Mary: We have a lot to buy, Tom. We can’t afford to pay $129 for an answering machine. And we can’t afford to pay $127.50 for the dual tape answering machine, either.

Tom: Alright. We’ll buy a cheaper one then. There’s this one for $89 or the smaller one for $59.95.

Mary: I like the square shape of the smaller one. It’ll fit neatly onto my desk.

Tom: And it’s the cheapest. Okay, we’ll buy that one.

Mary: Good. Now’, we need to buy a telephone for the office.

Tom: I’d like to get a portable phone. You know, one of those cordless ones.

Mary: Are you sure?

Tom: I think it’s a good idea. We don’t need another telephone answering machine, so we can look for a small one.

Mary: I really like the one with the hinge in the middle.

Tom: A folding telephone! Yes, that’s a good idea. So we’ll take that one. Are you ready to look at the other things we need?

Mary: Yes. Let me look at the list. We need a couple of radios.

Tom: I want one I can listen to while I’m walking.

Mary: I know. They’re just over here. I don’t think you should buy the really cheap one.

Tom: You mean this one? $17 is a very good price.

Mary: Ah, that’s true, but I believe they give a very bad sound quality. And what if you want to use a cassette? It doesn’t have any space for a cassette.

Tom: You’re right. Hmm. Well, I really hate the ones where you have to put the small earphones into your ear.

Mary: Here’s one with big earphones you put over your ears.

Tom: Ooh. It’s expensive…

Mary: It’s only $20 more than the one with the little earphones. Take it!

Tom: Okay. What’s next?

Mary: We have to choose a television.

Tom: We need one which is – ah – big enough to … Mary: But not too big. I don’t want anything larger than 48 cm.

Tom: I really think 34 cm is too small for our room. That’s only about thirteen and a half inches.

Mary: Okay. Let’s take the size bigger than 34 cm.

Tom: What about another radio?

Mary: How would you feel about a clock radio instead of just a radio?

Tom: I don’t want a clock radio. I’m very fond of my alarm clock! But I like this radio with the curved carry handle.

Mary: So do I. It’s a good price, too. So, now we’ve chosen an answering machine, a cordless telephone, a radio for you to use when you go for a walk, another radio and a television.

Tom: Anything else?

Mary: No. Let’s go and have a cup of coffee!

Mary: Shopping’s hard work!

Tom: I’m glad it’s over.

Mary: Do you want to go home now?

Tom: Yes, I think I’ll take the things we bought home.

Mary: Okay. I’ll go to the office. I’ve got lots to do. I’ll come back later, straight from the office.

Tom: Okay. I’d better hurry. My brother’s waiting at the house to help carry the television in.

Mary: Good. I hope he’ll still be there when I get home – I haven’t seen your brother for ages. No, wait, I forgot to tell you. I’ll be late home tonight. I’ve got a meeting at 5 o’clock.

Tom: When do you think it will end?

Mary: I’m not sure. Still, I should be home by eight. If I think I’ll be later than 8 o’clock I’ll call you.

Tom: Okay. It’s nice now that your office is in City Square. You don’t have to travel very far at all.

Mary: I certainly appreciate it! Taxi drivers always know where City Square is, too. By the way, are you going to watch People are Funny on TV tonight?

Tom: What did you say? What TV show? Oh, People are Funny? Of course I am. I’ll tell you what happened when you get home. I need something to laugh at – I’m going to the new office at Newtown tomorrow, and I’m not looking forward to it.

Mary: I’d better go. Take care. I’ll see you later. Bye bye.
