On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. 00:00:50,980 Hello. 00:00:51,720 Yes, I'd like to speak with Janet Evans, please. 00:00:54,720 Speaking. 00:00:55,660 Hi, Ms. Evans. This is Jim Rodriguez calling from Farrelly Mutual about your recent homeowner's insurance inquiry. 00:01:06,110 The man says that he'd like to speak with Janet Evans. So Janet Evans has been written in the space. 00:01:14,740 Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. 00:01:23,180 Listen carefully and answer questions one to six. 00:01:29,840 Hello. 00:01:30,720 Yes, I'd like to speak with Janet Evans, please. 00:01:33,720 Speaking. 00:01:34,790 Hi, Ms. Evans. This is Jim Rodriguez calling from Farrelly Mutual about your recent homeowner's insurance inquiry. 00:01:42,620 Yes. Hi. Thanks for returning my call. 00:01:45,700 My pleasure. I understand you are potentially interested in insurance for a bungalow located a bit out of town. Could you give me the address? 00:01:54,780 Sure. It's 49 Greenway Court. Greenway is one word. 00:01:59,540 Thank you. All right, and would you prefer to be contacted via email or phone? 00:02:04,980 Either one is fine. Maybe try emailing me first, and as an alternative, I can give you my phone number. 00:02:11,420 Great. And what is your email address? 00:02:14,040 PK two at cat dot com. 00:02:17,500 Hmm, did you say cat as in the animal? 00:02:20,560 Yes. It is the acronym for the construction company I work for. I'm sure you've seen them around. 00:02:26,220 Yes, I have. And could you give me your primary phone number and the best time to reach you? 00:02:31,640 Sure. The number is 02042519443. I am generally unable to answer my phone at work, but any time after 5:30 PM is fine. 00:02:44,320 I will make a note of that here. Now, I'm going to ask you a little bit about property itself so we can make an accurate estimate of the cost of insuring your home. Could you tell me the size of your house? 00:02:56,460 Mm, well, I don't have the exact measurements, but I'm pretty sure it's right around 80 square meters. Should I measure it and call you back later? 00:03:05,740 No, that's completely all right. I'll write 80 square meters for now to get the estimate, and then an agent will come get the exact measurements later on if you decide to purchase our insurance. 00:03:18,220 Okay, great. 00:03:19,560 And what material is your house made of? For example, wood, brick, stucco. 00:03:24,920 It's mainly brick. 00:03:26,320 Great. That will give you a lower rate than most other materials since it is so strong. 00:03:32,520 Wonderful. 00:03:33,280 And do you have any sort of home security, Ms. Evans? 00:03:37,360 Mm, we don't have a fence or anything yet, but we have an alarm system that we use regularly. 00:03:42,840 Good. 00:03:46,360 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions seven to ten. 00:04:12,000 Now listen and answer questions seven to ten. 00:04:18,100 Now, I'll go through a number of things we offer coverage for, and I'd like you to tell me which items you want your policy to cover. 00:04:25,600 Okay. 00:04:26,400 We'll start with the building itself first. Would you like us to cover incidental damage to the structure to your house? 00:04:33,700 Absolutely. 00:04:34,840 Splendid. And the contents inside your house, we usually cover all items with an appraised value of about two hundred pounds. Would you like us to cover theft and damage beyond natural wear and tear? I will let you know that the second option here will come with a considerable increase in your rates. 00:04:54,300 I think I'd just like the contents of the house to be covered against theft then. 00:04:58,900 All right. And would you like any other insurance? Fire, flood, et cetera. 00:05:03,960 Yes, I definitely want flood coverage. It rains a lot here, and the drainage system in the area is not the greatest. 00:05:11,060 Okay. I am calculating your quotation now. Uh, it will just take a second. 00:05:17,400 It looks like your annual insurance rate will be 148.30 pounds. 00:05:23,560 Thanks. That seems somewhat reasonable. I would like to take some time to think about it. How long does it take to begin receiving coverage after signing up? 00:05:33,160 It depends on the time of year. It can take anywhere from two to six weeks. I would say if you sign up by July the 1st, you could start your coverage by August the 1st. 00:05:44,740 I see. Okay. Thanks for your help. Should I call you back at this number when I have made my decision? 00:05:50,720 Yes, please. And so that we can look up your account faster, I'll give you a reference number that you should provide when calling. Ready? 00:06:00,100 Yep. 00:06:00,800 It's TR278Q. 00:06:04,600 Got it. Thanks. 00:06:06,500 Thank you, and have a nice day. 00:06:11,160 That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 1.
