Transcript — I. LISTENING — Part 1 (Youth Council) (TTS từ transcript)
SECTION 1 CAROLINE: Good Morning. Youth Council. Caroline speaking. ROGER: Oh, hello, I’m interested in standing for election to the Youth Council, and I was told to give you a call. CAROLINE: That’s good. Could you I have your name, please? ROGER: Yes, it’s Roger Brown . (Example) CAROLINE: Thank you. I’m Caroline, the Youth Council administrator. So do you know much about what the Council does, Roger? ROGER: I’ve talked to Stephanie - I think she’s the chair of the Council. CAROLINE: That’s right. ROGER: And she told me a lot about it. How it’s a way for young people to discuss local issues, for example, and make suggestions to the town council. That’s what made me interested. CAROLINE: Fine. Well let me take down some of your details. First of all, how old are you? You know the Council is for young people aged from 13 to 18? ROGER: I’ve just turned 18. CAROLINE: And where do you live, Roger? ROGER: Well, that’s a bit complicated. At the moment I’m looking for a flat to rent here, so I’m in a hostel from Monday to Friday (Q1) . I go back to my parents’ place at the weekend. CAROLINE: OK, so where’s the best place to send you some information about the Council? ROGER: Oh, to my parent’s address, please. That’s 17, Buckleigh (Q2) Street - B-U-C-K-L-E-I-G-H Street, Stamford, Lincolnshire, though you don’t really need the country. CAROLINE: Oh, I know Stamford - it’s a lovely town. And what’s the postcode? ROGER: PE9 7QT (Q3) CAROLINE: Right, thank you. So are you working here, or are you a student? ROGER: I started studying at the university a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve got a part-time job for a few hours a week. CAROLINE: What do you do? ROGER: Well, I’ve done several different things. I’ve just finished a short-term contract as a courier, and now I’m working as a waiter (Q4) in one of the big hotels. CAROLINE: Uhuh. That can’t leave you much time for studying! ROGER: Oh, it’s not too bad. I manage to fit it all in. CAROLINE: What are you studying? ROGER: My ambition is to go into parliament eventually, so my major subject is politics (Q5) . That’s partly why I think the Youth Council is important and want to be a part of it. CAROLINE: And I suppose you’re also taking a minor subject, aren’t you? I know a lot of people study economics too. ROGER: I chose history. To be honest, I’m not finding it as interesting as I expected! CAROLINE: OK, so with your studying and your part-time job, do you have time for any other interests or hobbies? ROGER: Well, I spend quite a lot of time cycling (Q6) - both around town to get to university and to work, and also long-distance, from here to London, for instance. CAROLINE: That’s pretty impressive! Anything else? ROGER: For relaxation I’m also keen on the cinema (Q7) - I used to go at least once a week, but I can’t manage to go so often now. CAROLINE: Right. Are you sure you’ll have enough time for the Youth Council? ROGER: Yes, I’ve worked out that I can afford to reduce my hours at work, and that will make the time. CAROLINE: So is there any particular aspect of the Youth Council’s work that appeals to you, Roger? ROGER: Well, my sister is blind, so I’m particularly interested in working with disabled young people (Q8) , to try and improve the quality of their lives. CAROLINE: That’s great. Well, the best way to get involved is to be nominated by some people who you know. ROGER: Right. Can you tell me how to set about organising that? CAROLINE: You should talk to Jeffrey, our Elections Officer. I can arrange a meeting in the council office with him, if you like. ROGER: Yes, please. CAROLINE: He’ll be here next Monday, if that suits you ROGER: That’s the 14th, isn’t it? CAROLINE: Yes. ROGER: I can manage late afternoon. CAROLINE: Would you like to suggest a time? He generally leaves around 5.30. ROGER: Well, would 4.30 be OK (Q9) ? My last class finishes at 4, so I’d have plenty of time to get to your office. CAROLINE: Right, that’s fine. Oh, and could I have a phone number we can contact you on? ROGER: Yes, my mobile number’s 07788 136711 . (Q10) CAROLINE: Thank you. Well, we’ll look forward to seeing you next week. ROGER: Thanks very much. Goodbye. CAROLINE: Bye.
