WOMAN:Good evening.
King's Restaurant.
MAN:Good evening.
I'm ringing about the job I understand you have vacant.
WOMAN:Oh yes.
MAN:I'd like to find out a few more details, if I may.
WOMAN:Yes, of course.
Can I take your name?
MAN:It's Peter Chin.
WOMAN:Okay, Peter.
Well, if you want to ask about the job and then if we're both still interested, we could arrange for you to come for an interview.
MAN:Great, thanks.
I'm afraid I missed the advert for the job but heard about it from a friend.
WOMAN:That's no problem at all.
What would you like to know?
MAN:Well, urn, what sort of work is it - washing up?
WOMAN:It's answering the phone.
MAN:Oh right, fine.
WOMAN:And not waiting at table.
MAN:That'd be good.
And how many nights a week would it be?
WOMAN:Well, we're really only busy at the weekend.
MAN:So two nights?
WOMAN:Three actually, so it would work out at twelve hours a week.
MAN:That'd be fine.
It wouldn't interfere with my studies.
WOMAN:Are you at the university?
MAN:Yes.
First year Physics student.
WOMAN:Oh, right.
MAN:Urn, and because I'm not an EU national would I need a work permit?
WOMAN:Yes you would.
Just get your tutor to sign it.
MAN:That wouldn't be a problem, if I were to get the job.
Urn, where exactly is the restaurant?
WOMAN:Well, we have two branches - the one we're recruiting for is in Hillsdunne Road.
MAN:I don’t know that.
How do you spell it please?
WOMAN:It's H-I-double L-S-D-U-double N-E Road.
MAN:Got that.
Thanks.
Is it near a bus stop?
WOMAN:Yes.
The nearest one would probably be just beside the Library.
MAN:Oh yes.
I know it.
That'd be fine for me.
And could I ask about the pay?
WOMAN:We're offering £4.45 an hour.
MAN:That's very good.
My last job was £3.95 an hour.
WOMAN:We feel it's pretty good and we also offer some good fringe benefits.
MAN:Really?
WOMAN:Well, we give you a free dinner, so you eat well.
MAN:Right, better than hostel food!
WOMAN:We certainly hope so!
And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays.
MAN:Oh, that's a really good perk, isn't it?
WOMAN:Yes, we think so.
And then because of the difficulties of getting public transport, if you're working after 11 o'clock we drive you home.
MAN:Oh, that's good to know.
WOMAN:Well, we'd certainly be interested in inviting you for an interview, if you're still interested?
MAN:Oh yes, certainly.
Could I just also ask what qualities you're looking for?
WOMAN:Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have!
MAN:Thanks.
WOMAN:And you must be able to think quickly, you know.
MAN:Well.
I hope I’d ...
WOMAN:So, when could you come in for an interview?
We're actually quite quiet tonight?
MAN:Sorry.
I couldn't come tonight.
Or tomorrow, I’m afraid Thursday's okay –that’d be 22nd of October.
WOMAN:Fine, after 5 p.m.?
MAN:Yes, fine.
Would 6 o'clock be okay?
WOMAN:Perfect.
And could you bring along the names of two referees?
MAN:Yes, that's fine, no problem.
WOMAN:Good.
I look forward to seeing you.
MAN:Oh, by the way, who should I ask for?
WOMAN:Oh yes, of course, sorry.
My name is Samira Manuja.
MAN:Can you spell that, please?
WOMAN:m-a-n-u-j-a.
MAN:Okay.
I've got that.
Thanks very much.
WOMAN:Look forward to seeing you later on then .
Question 1
答案:answer(ing) (the)phone
定位原文:scripts: MAN: Well, um, what sort of work is it, washing up? WOMAN: It's answering the phone.
解题思路: 注意同义词定位的问题。题干中的 type of work 在原文中的表述是 sort of work。另外,原文中有迷惑信息 washing up。
Question 2
答案:Hillsdunne Road
定位原文:scripts: WOMAN: Well, we have two branches. The one we're recruiting for is in Hillsdunne Road. MAN: I don't know that. How do you spell it please? WOMAN: It's H-I-double L-S-D-U-double N-E Road.
解题思路: 本题的答案距离第 1 题很远,这需要考生注意力集中,否则容易错过答案。本题可以进行代词还原:原文中的 the one=the branch。另外,还要注意本题出题的角度,因为要用 branch 去定位,如果原文中先说答案,再说定位词,会比较难以定位;而题干中的语序在原文中是颠倒的,这反而使得定位更加容易。
Question 3
答案:library
定位原文:scripts: WOMAN: Yes. The nearest one would probably be just beside the Library.
解题思路:代词还原:题干中的 nearest bus stop=原文中的 the nearest one。同义词:题干中的 next to=原文中的 beside。
Question 4
答案:4.45
定位原文:scripts: WOMAN: We're offering £4.45 an hour. MAN: That's very good. My last job was £3.95 an hour.
解题思路:信息密集:本题的答案距离第 3 题很近,这需要考生边写边听的能力。另外要注意金钱的读法,英语中一般不会读成 four point four five,而会读成 four pounds forty five,或者 four forty five。
Question 5
答案:national holidays
定位原文:scripts: WOMAN: We certainly hope so! And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays.
解题思路:本题直接可以用原词定位,不难。但是考生要注意答案写成复数的形式,因为每年不止一个节日。
Question 6
答案:after 11 (o’clock)
定位原文:scripts: WOMAN: Yes, we think so. And then because of the difficulties of getting public transport, if you're working after 11 o'clock we drive you home. MAN: Oh, that's good to know.
解题思路:同义词:题干中的 transports=原文中的 drive you home。
Question 7
答案:clear voice
定位原文:scripts: MAN: Oh yes, certainly. Could I just also ask what qualities you're looking for? WOMAN: Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have!
解题思路:题干中的 required=原文中的 looking for。
Question 8
答案:think quickly
定位原文:scripts: WOMAN: And you must be able to think quickly, you know.
解题思路:并列信息:本题与上一题是并列关系,比较容易定位。但是要注意派生词的问题:题干中是 ability to,原文中说的是 be able to。
Question 9
答案:22 October
定位原文:scripts: MAN: Sorry, I couldn't come tonight, or tomorrow, I'm afraid. Thursday's okay, that'd be 22nd of October.
解题思路:首先要注意预测问题,因为有些考生不知道英语中说日期的习惯是:周—日—月。当然如果把日月颠倒过来写,是不会扣分的。另外注意:日期写基数词,月份写缩写,这样可以避免低级错误。
Question 10
答案:Manuja
定位原文:scripts: WOMAN: Oh yes, of course, sorry. My name is Samira Manuja. MAN: Can you spell that, please? WOMAN: M-A-N-U-J-A.
解题思路:人名和地名的拼写是雅思常考内容。考生要注意两方面:(1)先听单词的发音(2)再听字母的拼读。有些字母的发音比较接近,会导致听不清,但是如果注意听单词的发音,就比较容易分清楚那些字母了。另外,雅思考试中会出现一些与英语发音习惯不一样的情况,比如,本题中 j 在人名 Manuja 中发/h/ 音,如果不注意后面听字母的拼读,有可能会拼写成 h。这样的情况还有 v 和 b,这两个字母在西班牙语中的发音可能是反的。
