Maggie: Let me have a look. Yes, I’ve got them here. Shall I send them to you?
Greg: No, you don’t need to. Just give me the information now. I can write it on some new files. I don’t really need the photos if you’ve got photos there.
Maggie: OK. Well, Peter Austin first. Greg: Now, is that Austin with an ‘i’ or Austen with an ‘e’? Maggie: It’s A-U-S-T-I-N, and his address is a hundred and ten Argyle Street, Tunbridge Wells, Kent TN3 5RQ.
Greg: A hundred and ten? Maggie: Uh-huh. Greg: And his phone number? Maggie: It’s 07984 645792. Greg: OK – and how old is he? Maggie: He’s forty-seven. Greg: Forty-seven. And what about his marital status? Maggie: He’s married. There’s a note here that he has three children – two boys and a girl.
Greg: OK, and finally – when did he join the company? Maggie: He started with Esco in August 2003. Greg: Thanks, Maggie. Now, what about Jane? Maggie: Her name’s Jane Moore. That’s M-O-O-R-E, and her address is 72 Cedar Road, Crowborough, Kent CR3 5RQ.
Greg: CR3 and what, sorry? Maggie: CR3 5RQ. Greg: And how do you spell Cedar? Maggie: C-E-D-A-R. Her phone number is 07984 650396. Greg: 07984 650396. Maggie: Yes. Now, she’s twenty-two and she’s single. Greg: OK. Maggie: And she started with Esco in 2005 – February 2005.

≤009 Unit 1 Exam Practice – Listening
A Listen to a conversation at a hotel. Guest: Good evening. Receptionist: Good evening. How can I help? Guest: I have a reservation in the name of Hunt – a reservation for two nights. That’s Charles Hunt.
Receptionist: Yes, Mr Hunt, let me see. Ah, here it is. Yes, two nights. I’ll just need to photocopy your passport – do you have it?
Guest: Um, yes, of course – there you are. Receptionist: Thank you. Could you just write your home address on the form here, while I copy the passport?
Guest: Yes, of course. Receptionist: Thank you. Oh, you’re from Manchester. I was there two years ago for a football match. Manchester has a very good team.
Guest: Yes, that’s true. I’m actually more interested in rugby myself.
Receptionist: Here’s your key. You’re in room one-oh- four – that’s on the first floor. It’s an interior room, so it should be very quiet. I think you asked for that.
Guest: Oh yes, thank you. It’s very important to sleep well when you have work to do. Can you tell me if the bill is already paid? I’m here for a conference and my company is paying the bill. Usually they pay it before I travel, but sometimes I have to pay and then claim expenses.
Receptionist: Let me check. Don’t worry, sir, the bill has been paid in full.
Guest: Oh, good, that’s one thing I don’t need to worry about. Is the restaurant still open? I know it’s late, but the meal on the plane was tiny – and not very tasty either.
Receptionist: I’m sorry, sir – the restaurant closes at 9:30, but there are two or three very nice places near the hotel. They will be open for a while.
Guest: Oh, good. I’ll have a quick shower and then get something. Which restaurant do you recommend?
Receptionist: Mamma Mia’s is probably best. It’s very close to the hotel, and it isn’t at all expensive – the food is delicious. When you come out of the hotel, you go right and then take the first left. You’ll come into a big square and you’ll see Mamma Mia’s on the right.
Guest: That sounds great. Oh, and one more thing – sorry – is there a cash machine nearby? I didn’t have time to get any euros at the airport.
Receptionist: Yes, the nearest bank is very close, too. Turn left out of the hotel and go down to the harbour. Turn left and you’ll see the bank. There are two cash machines outside.
Guest: Thank you very much. Receptionist: Not at all. I hope you enjoy your meal and your stay with us. Goodnight.
