Section 1 You will hear a woman phoning to make a theatre booking. First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4 on page 2. You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
Good morning, Cornmarket Theatre. Oh, good morning. I'd like to ask about making a booking for the performance of Pirates.
The woman would like to make a booking for the performance of Pirates. So, Pirates has been written in the space. Now we shall begin.
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4. Good morning, Cornmarket Theatre. Oh, good morning.
I'd like to ask about making a booking for the performance of Pirates. Yes, of course. What day? I'd like to make a booking for the afternoon performance on December the 8th.
I'll just check on the computer. Good news, you're booking well ahead of time so there are lots of seats available for that performance. Great.
Now, if I can just start by taking a few details. Yes, of course. What's your name, please? It's Fenella Bittons.
B-I-T-T-E-N-S. Now, can I take a contact number? It's 07796 892 326. Lovely.
So, how many tickets would you like? Twenty, please. So, that's a group booking. Does that mean I get a discount? Yes.
Are they all for adults? Actually, only three are adults. Right, so you get a discount of 10% on those tickets, which makes it £23 per person. All the tickets are the same price wherever you sit.
And the rest are all under 16. OK, so instead of £15 per person, that'll be £12.50. Oh, that's good. Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10 on page 2. Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
Would you like to sit in the stalls? I'd prefer the circle, if that's possible. Well, I can give you 20 more or less together. Really nice seats on the middle row.
No, I think we'd need to be right at the back, actually. That's no problem. There are plenty of seats there.
That's good, because we have one child who's a wheelchair user. Right. Well, we have very good arrangements for our disabled customers.
Well, the main thing is we want to be able to get to the lift easily. That won't be any problem. I'll put you in for more or less the whole row.
Good. Now, would it be possible to pay for the tickets by credit card? No problem. Do you want me to send you the tickets or pick them up from the box office at the theatre? Parking's so difficult near the theatre in the daytime.
Well, we've now got an arrangement that you can pick up tickets in the library. That sounds good. Fine.
I'll make a note that you'll do that. Great. Now, I read in a brochure that you can also order theatre meals.
That's right. With such a large party, it's probably a good idea if you order what you want in advance. Well, I've got a good idea about what everyone would like.
Could you put me through to the cafe? Well, if you want, I can take down the order now. That'd be great. Thanks.
No problem. Well, we've got a few children in the group who are vegetarian. OK.
I'll make a note of that. And I wanted to check if you do any hot dishes, like pasta, for example. I'm afraid not, but we do have pizzas, though.
Even better. Let's go for those for all of us. Um, cheese and tomato.
Fine. And what would everyone like? That is the end of Section 1. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
