Transcript Solution

ADVISER

Good morning, how can I help you?

STUDENT

Good morning. Umm, I understand you help fix up students with host families.

ADVISER

That's right ... are you interested in ...?

STUDENT

Yes ...

ADVISER

Well please sit down and I'll just take a few details.

STUDENT

Thank you.

ADVISER

Right now ... what name is it?

STUDENT

Jenny Chan.

ADVISER

Can you spell that please?

STUDENT

Yes ... J-E-N-N-Y C-H-A-N.

ADVISER

Right ... and what is your present address?

STUDENT

Sea View Guest House, 14 Hill Road.Q1

ADVISER

OK, and do you know the phone number there?

STUDENT

Yes ... I have it here, ummm ... 2237676, but I'm only there after about 7 pm.

ADVISER

So when would be the best time to catch you?

STUDENT

I suppose between 9 and, let me see, half-pastQ2, before I leave for the college.

ADVISER

Great ... and can I ask you your age?

STUDENT

I've just had my nineteenth birthday.

ADVISER

And how long would you want to stay with the host family?

STUDENT

I'm planning on staying a yearQ3 but at the moment I'm definitely here for four months only. I have to get an extension to my permit.

ADVISER

You're working on it? Fine ... and what will be your occupation while you're in the UK?

STUDENT

Studying English?

ADVISER

And what would you say your level of English is?

STUDENT

Umm. Good, I think I'd like to say 'advanced' but my written work is below the level of my spoken, so I suppose it's intermediate.Q4

ADVISER

Certainly your spoken English is advanced. Anyway, which area do you think you would prefer?

STUDENT

Ummm, well I'm studying right in the centre but I'd really like to live in the north-west.Q5

ADVISER

That shouldn't be a great problem ... we usually have lots of families up there.

ADVISER

And do you have any particular requirements for diet?

STUDENT

Well, I'm nearly a vegetarianQ6 ... not quite.

ADVISER

Shall I say you are? It's probably easier that way.

STUDENT

That would be best.

ADVISER

Anything about your actual room?

STUDENT

I would prefer my own facilities - 'en suite', is that right? And also if it's possible a TV and I'd also like the house to have a real gardenQ7 rather than just a yard, somewhere I could sit and be peaceful.

ADVISER

Is that all?

STUDENT

Well ... I'm really serious about improving my English so I'd prefer to be the only guestQ8 if that's possible?

ADVISER

No other guests ... Yes, you get more practice that way. Anyway, obviously all this is partly dependent on how much you're willing to pay. What did you have in mind?

STUDENT

I was thinking in terms of about £60-£80 a week, but I'd go up to a hundredQ9 if it was something special.

ADVISER

Well I don't think we'd have any problems finding something for you.

STUDENT

Oh, good.

ADVISER

And when would you want it for?

STUDENT

I'd like to move in approximately two weeks.

ADVISER

Let me see, it's the 10th today ... so if we go for the Monday it's the 23rd MarchQ10...

STUDENT

Yes.

ADVISER

Right ... good, and if I could ask one last question ...
