劍橋雅思8test3section1聽力原文

原文

WOMAN:Good morning.How can I help you?

MAN:Hello.I’m interested in renting a house somewhere in the town.

WOMAN:Right.Could I have your name please?

MAN:Yes,it’s Steven Godfrey.

WOMAN:And tell me how many bedrooms you’re looking for.

MAN:Well,we’d need four(Example),because I’m going to share the house with three friends.

WOMAN:Okay,there are several of that size on our books.They mostly belong to families who are working abroad at the moment.What about the location?

MAN:It’d be nice to be central(Q1).

WOMAN:That might be difficult,as most houses of that size are in the suburbs.Still,there are a few.What’s your upper limit for the rent?

MAN:We’d like something around￡500 a month,but we could go up to￡600(Q2)if we have to.But we can’t go beyond that.

WOMAN:Do you know how long you want to rent the house for?The minimum let is six months,as you probably realise.

MAN:We’re at college here for two years(Q3),and we don’t want to have to move during that time if we can avoid it.

WOMAN:Right.And how soon do you want to move in?All our lets start on the first of the month.

MAN:Well,as soon as possible,really,so that means September 1st

WOMAN:Okay,let me have a look at what we’ve got….We have photographs of all the houses on our books,so you can get an idea of what they’re like.There’s this one in Oakington Avenue,at￡550 a month.Combined living room and dining room,with a separate kitchen.It doesn’t have a garage(Q4),though you can park in the road.

MAN:Ah,we’d prefer to have one,if possible.

WOMAN:Right.Then have a look at this house,in Mead Street.It’s got a very large living room and kitchen,bathroom,cloakroom...

MAN:How much is it?

WOMAN:That one’s 580.It’s very well furnished and equipped.It also has plenty of space for parking,and it’s available for a minimum of a year.Oh,and there’s a big garden(Q5).

MAN:I don’t think we could cope with that,to be honest.We’ll be too busy to look after it.

WOMAN:Okay.Then there’s this older house in Hamilton Road:living room,kitchen-diner,and it has a study(Q6).550 a month.

MAN:That looks rather nice.But whereabouts in Hamilton Road?

WOMAN:Towards the western end.

MAN:Oh,that’ll be very noisy(Q7).I know the area.

WOMAN:Yes,it’s pretty lively.Some people like it,though.Well,what about this house in Devon Close?

MAN:That looks lovely.

WOMAN:There’s a big demand for houses in that area,so prices tend to be quite high.But this one hasn’t been decorated for a few years,which has kept the rent down a bit.It’s got a living room,dining room and small kitchen,and it’s 595(Q8)a month.I think it would suit you,from what you’ve said.

MAN:It sounds fine.

MAN:Why’s that part of town so popular?

WOMAN:Well,there’s a big scheme to improve the district,and it’ll soon have the best facilities for miles around.

MAN:What sort of thing?

WOMAN:There’s a big sports centre under construction,which will be very impressive when it’s finished.In fact,the swimming pool’s already opened(Q9),ahead of schedule,and it’s attracting a lot of people.

MAN:What about cinemas:are there any in the area?

WOMAN:The only one closed down last year,and it’s now in the process of being converted into a film museum.The local people are trying to get a new cinema added to the scheme.

MAN:I think I heard something about a plan to replace the existing concert hall(Q10)with a larger one.

WOMAN:Ah,that’s due to start next year.

MAN:Well it sounds an interesting area to live in.Could I go and see the house,please?

WOMAN:Yes,of course.
