## 题目原文

00:00:00,100 
 Now turn to section one. Section one. You will hear a telephone conversation between a teacher from the Art Centre and a female student's father about her art courses. 
 00:00:16,160 
 First, you have some time to look at questions one to three. 
 00:00:28,140 
 Now we shall begin. 
 00:00:42,800 
 You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions one to three. 
 00:00:57,260 
 Good afternoon. May I speak to Emma's parent? 
 00:01:00,420 
 Afternoon. I'm her father. Who am I speaking to? 
 00:01:04,780 
 This is Emma's teacher, Jane Carson, calling from the Art Centre. I'm just calling to talk about her drama class at the centre. 
 00:01:12,960 
 Oh, thank you for calling. How is Emma doing in drama class? You know, she just transferred here last month, unlike the others in her class who have been taking the course the whole semester since June, so I'm a bit worried that she might not fit in so well. 
 00:01:28,640 
 There's no need to worry. She exhibits a strong performance in her drama class. 
 00:01:33,720 
 Is that so? 
 00:01:35,260 
 Yes. She didn't adapt to the new environment as quickly as I originally expected and seemed a bit shy at first. But a few days later, she made a couple of friends and became more talkative and also more involved in class. Emma really is a role model for others because she has always been an active participant during class. She voices her own ideas and is very creative. 
 00:02:01,380 
 I didn't expect that, but I can tell that she really enjoys the course because she's been talking about it at home frequently these past few weeks. 
 00:02:10,199 
 That's great to hear. Interest is always the best teacher. I also have to inform you that there's been an adjustment in the timetable of the drama class next term. 
 00:02:20,560 
 Why is that? 
 00:02:22,240 
 It's not that the music room that we currently use isn't available, as there are too many enrolling for the coming semester. Increased class size means that space is limited to house the whole class. Also, the new classroom we use is not available during the current timeframe, so I'm afraid we have to change the time for it. 
 00:02:43,780 
 I see. So when would it be? 
 00:02:47,100 
 As you know, the current class begins at three fifteen, but the new time of the drama class would be a quarter to five. 
 00:02:54,480 
 I'm afraid I have errands to run during that time. 
 00:02:57,940 
 On the other campus, the class still begins at three fifteen, but for the campus Emma goes to, it is the only time available for drama class. 
 00:03:06,740 
 Oh, I see. I have to make adjustments to my core schedule then. No problem. 
 00:03:14,600 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions four to ten. 
 00:03:28,860 
 Now listen and answer questions four to ten. 
 00:03:48,940 
 Ms. Carson, I'm thinking about signing Emma up for another art course. I'm thinking about dance class. 
 00:03:55,580 
 Dance class is a popular course here, a great choice for a child to shape up and have fun. But unfortunately, it is oversubscribed at the moment. I have to put you on the waiting list. 
 00:04:07,090 
 That's too bad. What else can I choose from then? Could you give me some advice? 
 00:04:11,960 
 Sure. Emma could take singing class as well. This would improve her musicality. 
 00:04:17,459 
 Sounds good. When is that? 
 00:04:20,100 
 It is held every Friday evening. 
 00:04:22,220 
 That's too bad. Emma already has a swimming class earlier that evening. It will be too late for her to come home if she takes this course. 
 00:04:30,420 
 There is also a vocal course available. Emma's got a great voice. I'm sure she'll stand out in the class. 
 00:04:36,940 
 Tell me about it. 
 00:04:38,240 
 The vocal course starts at four thirty PM every Tuesday. It isn't fully booked yet. Great teacher, experienced and beloved by students. The price is a bit higher, though. 
 00:04:50,260 
 How much is it? 
 00:04:51,280 
 It's a hundred and ten dollars. 
 00:04:53,240 
 Oh, that's too much. Way over our budget. We have to cover the extra cost if we choose it. 
 00:04:59,600 
 Or maybe Emma could take music class. 
 00:05:02,700 
 What is it about? Learning about songs and musicals? 
 00:05:06,520 
 Well, the students have the opportunity to play different instruments like the piano, drum, and so on. They can also learn to write music under professional guidance. 
 00:05:17,200 
 That's exactly what Emma is eager to learn. How much would it cost? 
 00:05:21,640 
 It was 63 dollars last term, but this term it is 85 dollars, 22 dollars more than the original price. 
 00:05:29,140 
 We can afford that. When does the course begin? 
 00:05:32,280 
 The course starts on 7th September. 
 00:05:35,120 
 Can we start one week later on 14th September? My daughter will be on a trip to France with her mom on the seventh. 
 00:05:42,140 
 No problem. And the teacher for the class is Jamal Curtis. Just contact him if you have any further questions regarding the course. 
 00:05:50,260 
 Jamal Curtis. How do you spell Curtis? 
 00:05:53,420 
 Oh, it's C-U-R-T-I-S. 
 00:05:58,060 
 Thank you. 
 00:06:01,620 
 That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute...
