Sarah speaking. How may I help you? 00:00:07,340 Hi, Sarah. I'm calling to get a quote for home and contents insurance. My current policy is about to expire, and so I'm calling different insurance companies to look for a better deal. 00:00:19,780 Okay, sure. First, can I have your name, please? 00:00:23,380 It's Joe Williams. 00:00:25,040 Okay, Joe. Now, can I get some details about your property, so I can work out a quote for you? 00:00:31,100 Sure. 00:00:32,320 What's the address? 00:00:33,720 It's 48 Silk Terrace, as in the material, and that's in Avalon 00:00:39,060 Mm-hmm. I'll just note that down. And is that a house? 00:00:43,140 Yeah, that's right. 00:00:44,400 Are you the sole owner of the property? 00:00:47,100 I'm the co-owner with my wife, and we currently live in the house. 00:00:51,740 Okay. And when was the property built? 00:00:55,400 Our suburb was developed in 2008, but our house didn't get built until 2010, and we moved in two years later, in 2012, if that's important. 00:01:06,680 Great. And can you give me some details about the construction of the house? First of all, the walls, are they made of, for example, wood or stone? 00:01:17,460 The outer walls are brick. 00:01:19,400 So it's got a very solid exterior. 00:01:21,800 It sure has. 00:01:23,060 And how about your roof? 00:01:24,940 The property had a metal roof when we moved in, but we wanted something sturdier, so now the roof is concrete tiles. 00:01:32,400 Hmm. And what's the total size of the house? 00:01:35,800 It's about five hundred square meters in total. 00:01:39,040 Mm-hmm. And Joe, [beep] can you tell me a bit about where the house is located? This can have an effect on your insurance premiums. For example, the flood risk if you live near a river. 00:01:51,140 Well, the closest river is thirty minutes drive away. 00:01:54,480 Oh, that's a long way. Do you live anywhere near a forest? 00:01:58,920 There is one that backs onto our property, actually. Is that an issue? 00:02:03,140 It depends. It could be a fire risk. We'll look at our records. 00:02:08,720 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten. Now listen and answer questions six to ten. 00:02:22,380 And does your house have a garden? 00:02:25,500 Yes, it does. Most of it is landscaped. My wife and I love getting out there on the weekends. 00:02:31,310 [chuckles] So do you have an outdoor shed for your tools and things? 00:02:35,920 Yeah. And we collect and store rainwater, so we have a tank. 00:02:40,040 Okay. Is there anything else about the house that you'd like to mention? Perhaps any renovations you've made or anything you've added to the property? 00:02:49,620 We had solar panels installed a couple of years ago. 00:02:53,080 Mm-hmm. I'll note that down. 00:02:55,820 So do you also want to insure the contents of your property? 00:02:59,700 Yes. We have a few valuable items we'd particularly like to insure. 00:03:04,120 I see. 00:03:05,740 The first thing is model trains. I've built up a huge collection over the years. You might be surprised to know that my collection is worth more than my car. 00:03:15,180 Wow. Are there any other items? 00:03:18,540 We bought a piano for seven thousand dollars last year. 00:03:22,000 Uh-huh. Sounds like a good one. [laughs] And what about jewelry? 00:03:27,300 My wife does have some antique jewelry she inherited, especially a necklace that's very valuable. 00:03:33,720 And why is that? 00:03:35,220 It's got a beautiful diamond in it that we want to have insured. It belonged to her grandmother. 00:03:41,060 Okay. One final question. Can I ask who your current insurance company is? 00:03:47,420 Sure. It's Titan Insurance. 00:03:49,480 And have you made any claims in the last five years? 00:03:52,700 Just one. About two years ago, we had a few windows broken when a storm came through our area. 00:03:58,920 I see. But I assume any damage was repaired. 00:04:02,860 Yeah. It's all fine. 00:04:04,360 Okay then. Now let's move on to the next... 00:04:08,760 That is the end of part one. ## 题目与答案 ### 1.
