📜 TRANSCRIPT – PART 1

Man: Hello, Bakewell Travel. How can I help?

Sarah: Oh, hello. My name’s Sarah Carter. I wonder if you could tell me about the price of plane tickets to Dubai.

Man: Our computers are down, so what I can do is take some details about you and your travel plans. Then when everything’s OK again, I can call you back, alright?

Sarah: OK then.

Man: So, some details first. Your name was Sarah Carter, wasn’t it?

Sarah: That’s right.

Man: And can I take a contact phone number?

Sarah: 07958847222.

Man: Now, I’ll probably need to get back to you on this. Shall I call you back tomorrow morning?

Sarah: Oh, I work on Wednesdays. Can you call me back on Thursday before 12?

Man: Fine. OK, so, Mrs Carter, how many tickets will you need?

Sarah: Three adults and four children.

Man: So, 7 altogether. Are all the children under the age of 14?

Sarah: They are, yes.

Man: Which date do you wish to travel on?

Sarah: Well, we definitely need to be there for the 24th, so if we leave the UK on the 22nd November, we’ll have time to recover on the 23rd. Not this month, next month, November.

Man: Right. And I assume these are return tickets?

Sarah: Yes, we want to fly back on the Tuesday. Is that the 25th or the 26th?

Man: It’s the 25th. So it’s going to be a short visit?

Sarah: We’re going to a wedding. We’re not going for a holiday.

Man: Oh, that’s nice. Now, do any travellers have any special requirements? You know, special assistance with mobility and that sort of thing?

Sarah: Oh. Well, actually, yes, my son can’t eat cheese. It makes him really, really ill.

Man: Fine. So, as soon as I can, I’ll look into finding some tickets for you. Now, I wonder if I could just ask you a couple of questions as part of our market research. Would you be happy to do that?

Sarah: Will this take long?

Man: Just a couple of minutes, that’s all.

Sarah: OK.

Man: So how many foreign visits have you made in the last 12 months?

Sarah: About six, I suppose.

Man: And where was your most recent visit?

Sarah: Well, I was in Egypt in May, then India. I’d love to go back there for a holiday.

Man: So that trip wasn’t for leisure?

Sarah: No, it was for business.

Man: OK. And finally, have you used our website recently?

Sarah: Yes, I did look at it about a month ago when it was redesigned, but to be honest, it was just too slow. I gave up in the end.

Man: Oh, dear. We’ll definitely look into that. May I have your email address so we can keep in touch?

Sarah: Yes, it’s carter.s@speedtech.com.

Man: Is that S-P-E-E-D-T-E-C-H?

Sarah: That’s right.

📜 TRANSCRIPT – PART 2

Good morning, everyone. I’m Dave, the manager of Creton Running Sports Club. Today, I’ll tell you something about the running competition, which will be held next month.

As we know, the annual run is one of the most popular events in our town and it attracts young and old every year. This year we will continue the tradition but there will be some small adjustments.

First, about the date. The exact time of the run is still on the first Saturday of May, but we’ll inform you in advance if it’s to be delayed due to bad weather.

The run used to start at the park which is being refurbished at the moment, so this time all the runners are expected to gather in front of the castle and start from there.

The actual run begins at 9:00 AM, but the runners start arriving at about 8:45, so some of you might prefer to arrive earlier to get ready. The route is a bit longer than last year. In the past it was five miles, but this year it’s 7 miles.

Now for the prizes. The club will offer a medal to anyone who finishes the run. Also, the winner will receive sports equipment worth about £1,000, provided by our sponsor.

Each runner will be timed from the starting point till the end. When you cross the finish line marked on the ground of the station, you’ll be given a bar code and you should take this to one of the run volunteers who will scan it.

If you are interested in the run, I suggest you register as soon as possible. The deadline is next Sunday. However, I should tell you this year you can’t enrol through the internet but have to go to the town hall and give all the personal information and sign your name.

There’s an age limit for competitors. Runners must be at least 16 years of age, and if you are over 60, you’ll need to submit a health certificate.

On the day of the run, bring a spare pair of shoes as last year one of the runners got something wrong with his shoes during the running and had to give up halfway through the competition. Besides, a jacket will also be advisable so you don’t catch a cold after sweating a lot. During the running, there is no need to worry about snacks or drinks as every runner will be supplied with chocolates and bottled water.

Now for those who are training on their own, let me give you a few tips.

First, don’t just do morning jogging with your dog. Remember that you’re going to compete with others. I know some people like to exercise in groups, but it’s more effective to run with your friend who can be your rival and stimulate your potential.

Then I suggest you make a record of your running time. It can show whether you’ve made any progress day by day.

It’s also important to practise running on various roads and paths so that your feet get used to different surfaces. By the way, you don’t have to run in all kinds of weather, as our competition is going to be held in good weather.

Well, that’s all the details about the running competition. If you have any other questions, please call our club at 8345 6234.
