Q1

How much is the beginner’s course?

A.  $190

B.  $320

C.  $330

D.  $430

The introductory is $190; the beginner's course, which is what you'd probably be looking at, is $320 - no, sorry 330 - it's just gone up - and the pilot course is $430.

Note

  • The keyword concerned in Q1 is “beginner’s course”.

  • From the question, we can assume that the answer should be a price.

  • The keyword “beginner’s course” was mentioned in the beginning of the conversation. The first time the man mentioned about this course is when he listed out 3 options of courses. In the second time, he talked about the price of each course, including the beginner’s course.

  • The answer should be C. $330. Don’t be misled by option B. $320 as this option is said to be wrong.

2

What does the club insurance cover?

  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D
Answer: C

Keywords in Questions

Similar words in Audio

Q2

What does the club insurance cover?

A.  injury to yourself

B.  injury to your equipment

C.  damage to other people’s property

D.  loss of personal belongings

And you also have to become a member of our club so that you're insured. That'll cost you $12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.

 

No, I'm afraid not - it's only 3rd party and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings , but not theft or injury, You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance.

Note

  • The keyword concerned in Q2 is “club insurance”.

  • The keyword is mentioned indirectly in the sentence “you also have to become a member of our club so that you're insured”. It is stated that the club insurance covers the woman against damage to other people or their belongings. Therefore, options A, B and D are incorrect.

  • For that reason, the answer of Q2 is C. damage to other people’s property.

3

How do the girls want to travel?

  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D
Answer: D

Keywords in Questions

Similar words in Audio

Q3

How do the girls want to travel?

A  public transport

B  private bus

C  car

D  bicycle

I see! And what's the best way to get to your place? By public transport or could we come by bike? We're pretty keen cyclists .

Note

  • The keyword concerned in Q3 is “how do the girls want”.

  • The keyword is not mentioned directly in the conversation. The speaker used a synonym phrase, which is “we’ve pretty keen cyclist” to talk about her demand.

  • For that reason, the answer for Q3 is D. bicycle.

  • Don’t be misled by option A or C, as they are just the man’s suggestions. Option B. private bus is not referred to in the conversation.

Questions 4-7

Complete the form below.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

TELEPHONE MEMO

Name: Maria Gentle

    MAN:     McDonald ...

    Note

    The keyword concerned in Q4 is “Mr and Ms”.

    From the question, we can assume that the answer should be a name.

    The keyword is mentioned in the conversation, followed by the name – the answer we need.

    The answer of Q4 is McDonald. The woman also implied that this name is similar to a fast food brand, another hint to answer Q4.

  • 5 Answer: Post Office Box/PO Box 676

    Keywords in Questions

    Similar words in Audio

    Q5

    __________ Newcastle

    The post office box address is probably best. It's PO Box 676. Newcastle.

    The answer for Q5 is PO Box 676.

    MARIA: Yes, actually, there is. It's 0249 that's for Newcastle and then double seven five four three one.

    Note

    The keyword concerned in Q6 is “Fax no”.

    From the question, we can assume that the answer should be a sequence of numbers.

    The keyword is mentioned in the conversation two times before the information needed to answer Q6 appears.

    The answer for Q6 is 775431.

    MAN:     Yes, fine. We take all major cards, including Visa.

    Note

    The keyword concerned in Q7 is “type of card”.

    From the question, we can assume that the answer should be a type of card like debit, credit or visa.

    The answer for this question can be "credit card" or "visa".

    Q8

    Which TWO of the following items must people take with them?

    A.  sandals

    B.  old clothes

    C.  pullover

    D.  shirt with long sleeves

    E.  soft drinks

    F.  hat

    G.  sunglasses

    Well it says here. Clothes: wear stout boots, so no sneakers or sandals I suppose, and clothes suitable for an active day in the hills, preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt. That's probably in case you land in the stinging nettles! It also says we should bring a packed lunch. We do not recommend soft drinks or flasks of coffee. Water is really the best thing to drink. We'd also need to bring suntan lotion and something to protect your head from the sun !

    Note

    The keywords in Q8 are “two items” and “must take with them”.

     

    From the question, we can assume that all the items listed from A to G will be mentioned in the conversation.

    A. sandals

    It is stated that “no sneakers and sandals”, so A is incorrect.

    B. old clothes

    The word “clothes” is mentioned, however, Maria didn’t say anything about old clothes. Therefore, B is also incorrect.

    C. pullover

    Pullover is not referred to in the conversation. It cannot be the answer of Q8.

    D. shirt with long sleeves

    Maria said about “clothes suitable for an active day in the hills, preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt”. Therefore, D is correct.

    E. soft drinks

    Soft drinks is not recommended, so E is false.

    F. hat

    The word “hat” is not mentioned directly in the conversation. However, Maria said that they needed something to protect their heads from the sun, which are hats. Therefore, F is correct.

    G. sunglasses

    Sunglasses is not mentioned in the conversation, therefore G is incorrect. Don’t be misled by suntan lotion as it’s totally different from sunglasses.

     

    All things considered, we can conclude that the answer of Q8 is D and F.

Question 9

Choose TWO letters A-G.

Which TWO accommodation options mentioned are near the paragliding school?

  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D
  • E
  • F
  • G
  • 9 Answer: A,F

    Q9

    Which TWO accommodation options mentioned are near the paragliding school?

    A  camping

    B  youth hostel

    C  family

    D  backpackers’ inn

    E  caravan park

    F  bed and breakfast

    G  cheap hotel

    Well look! They seem to operate a campsite too, because it says here that it's only $10 a day to pitch a tent. That'd be fine, wouldn't it? And that way we'd save quite a bit because even a cheap hotel would cost money.

     

    PAULINE:     Urn..or perhaps we could stay in a bed and breakfast nearby. It gives a couple of names here we could ring. I think I might prefer that. Hotels and youth hostels would all be miles away from the farm and I don't fancy a caravan.

    Note

    The keywords of Q9 are “two accommodation options” and “near the paragliding school”.

    From the question, we can assume that all options listed from A-G will be mentioned in the conversation. The order of the options in the conversation is a little bit difficult to follow and the hints of ‘near the paragliding school” are not clearly stated, so you should listen carefully and pay attention to every details.

    A. camping

    This is the first option mentioned in the conversation. It is said to be cheap and near the school, as Maria said “Well look! They seem to operate a campsite too.”, which implies that the choice camping is near the paragliding school. Therefore, A is correct.

    B. youth hostel and G. cheap hotel

    Hotels and hostels are said to me “miles away from the farm”. For that reason, B and G are incorrect.

    C. family and D. backpacker’ inn

    These options are not mentioned in the conversation. Therefore, C and D are incorrect.

    E. caravan park

    Caravan is not Pauline’s preference; therefore, E is incorrect.

    F. bed and breakfast

    Pauline did say about the bed and breakfast nearby. The word “nearby” implies that this option is near the school. Therefore, F is correct.

     

    All things considered, we can conclude that the answer of Q9 is A and F.

Question 10

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for your answer

Which weekend do the girls decide to go?  10

  • 10 Answer: after (the) exams

    Keywords in Questions

    Similar words in Audio

    Q10

    Which weekend do the girls decide to go?

    __________

    PAULINE:     OK - let's do it. What about next weekend?

    MARIA:     No, I can't - I'm going on a geography field trip.

    PAULINE:     ....and then it's the weekend before the exams and I really need to study.

    MARIA:     OK, then. Let's make it the one after the exams.

    PAULINE:     Fine - we'll need a break by then. Can you ring and ...

    Note

    The keyword of Q10 is “which weekend”.

    From the question, we can assume that the answer should be a time referring to the weekend the girls chose to go.

    The word “weekend” are mentioned several times. “Next weekend” is incorrect, as Maria confirmed that she couldn’t go. “Before the exam” is also incorrect, as Pauline said she needed time to study. Both of them agreed on making it after the exams.

    For that reason, the answer of Q10 is after (the) exams.

MARIA:    Well, I'm not sure. What's available?

MAN:    Well ... we've got the introductory course which lasts for two days.

MARIA:    OK.

MAN:    Or there's the 4-day beginners' course which is what most people do first. I'd tend to recommend that one. And there's also the elementary pilot course which takes five to six days depending on conditions.

MARIA:    We might try the beginner's course. What sort of prices are we looking at?

MAN:    The introductory is $190; the beginner's course, which is what you'd probably be looking at, is $320 - no, sorry 330 - it's just gone up - and the pilot course is $430.

MARIA:    Right. 

MAN:    And you also have to become a member of our club so that you're insured. That'll cost you $12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.

MARIA:    Does that cover me if I break a leg?

MAN:    No, I'm afraid not - it's only 3rd party and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings, but not theft or injury, You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance.

MARIA:    I see! And what's the best way to get to your place? By public transport or could we come by bike? We're pretty keen cyclists.

MAN:    It's difficult by public transport although there is a bus from Newcastle; most people get here by car, though, 'cos we're a little off the beaten track. But you could ride here OK. I'll send you a map. Just let me take down a few details. What's your name?

MARIA:    Maria Gentle.

MAN:      And your address, Maria?

MAN:    Yes, fine. We take all major cards, including Visa.

MARIA:    OK then. Thanks very much.

MARIA:    Hi, PAULINE.

PAULINE:    Hi, Maria! What's that you're reading?

MARIA:    Just some information from a paragliding school - it looks really good fun. Do you fancy a go at paragliding?

PAULINE:    Sure! Do you have to buy lots of equipment and stuff?

MARIA:    Not really. The school provides the equipment but we'd have to take a few things along.

PAULINE:    Such as?

MARIA:    Well it says here. Clothes: wear stout boots, so no sneakers or sandals I suppose, and clothes suitable for an active day in the hills, preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt. That's probably in case you land in the stinging nettles! It also says we should bring a packed lunch. We do not recommend soft drinks or flasks of coffee. Water is really the best thing to drink. We'd also need to bring suntan lotion and something to protect your head from the sun

PAULINE:    OK that sounds reasonable. And where would we stay?

MARIA:    Well look! They seem to operate a campsite too, because it says here that it's only $10 a day to pitch a tent. That'd be fine, wouldn't it? And that way we'd save quite a bit because even a cheap hotel would cost money. 

PAULINE:    Urn..or perhaps we could stay in a bed and breakfast nearby. It gives a couple of names here we could ring. I think I might prefer that. Hotels and youth hostels would all be miles away from the farm and I don't fancy a caravan.

MARIA:    No, I agree. But let's take a tent and pray for good weather.

PAULINE:    OK - let's do it. What about next weekend?

MARIA:    No, I can't - I'm going on a geography field trip.

PAULINE:    ....and then it's the weekend before the exams and I really need to study.
