You will hear a woman telephoning a holiday company to ask about activity holidays. 00:00:07,720 First, you have some time to look at questions one to four. 00:00:31,540 Now listen carefully and answer questions one to four. 00:00:38,660 Hello, Activity Holidays. 00:00:41,240 Oh, hello. I saw your ad about activity holidays in the British Isles. The one I was really interested in was in the Orkney Islands. They're in Scotland, aren't they? 00:00:51,860 That's right. So we run those holidays from June to September, and they're seven days. When were you thinking of going? 00:01:00,960 July. 00:01:02,100 Right. Let me check. We have two tours in July. Let's see. Yes, we still have places on the one beginning on July the 13th. Then we have another tour on July the 25th, but that's fully booked, I think. Yes. 00:01:20,620 I prefer the earlier date anyway. Okay, uh, well, can you tell me... It's a walking holiday, right? 00:01:28,700 Yes. 00:01:29,480 So what sort of level is it? I mean, I'm in pretty good shape, but... 00:01:34,730 Well, some of the terrain can be quite steep, so you do need to be reasonably fit. Overall, the tourist board has classified it as moderate. 00:01:44,280 Okay. Well, I should be able to manage that. And what about the accommodation? 00:01:50,480 Accommodation is in hotels. They're nothing too luxurious. They're mostly two-star hotels, but comfortable. 00:01:57,820 And I suppose breakfast is included? 00:02:00,120 Of course. 00:02:01,280 Okay, fine. And what about transportation? 00:02:04,960 Transport on the islands, you mean? 00:02:07,120 Yes. 00:02:07,880 Well, you'll be visiting four islands, so you'll be getting the ferry from one to another. And then on the islands, you'll use the bus when you're not walking. The train service is just on the mainland, so it's not much use to us. 00:02:25,280 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions five to ten. 00:02:40,560 Now listen and answer questions five to ten. 00:03:08,460 And can you tell me some of the things we'll see? 00:03:11,260 Well, the scenery, of course, but there's a lot of history too. On the second day, you'll walk to Stenness Stone Circle. It's over five thousand years old. They think it was used to mark the passing of the seasons. And in fact, the site was known as the Temple of the Moon once upon a time. 00:03:30,740 Mm. 00:03:31,620 And the same day, you'll see some stones that date back to the same time, but they've got writing on them, which was done by invaders who came to the islands in the twelfth century. 00:03:42,450 I didn't realize the islands were invaded then. 00:03:45,580 Yes. Then on day three, you'll visit a village which dates back to the Stone Age, and that afternoon, you walk along the cliffs. You should have some good views. Then the next day, that's day four, you go on to Westray. 00:04:01,370 Oh, is that where there's a castle? 00:04:03,780 Yes. You spend a couple of hours there. And if you're interested in history, you'll also enjoy the walk on day five on Papay Island, where you'll have a chance to see a house that's actually supposed to be the oldest, not just in Scotland, but in the whole of Europe. It was buried for thousands of years and only recently uncovered by a storm. You'll stay on Papay for the Saturday night, and at the hotel, you'll be able to get a taste of the traditions of Scotland because they organize dancing there. All the locals take part as well as visitors. You'll certainly end up having a go yourself. 00:04:41,640 Well, it all sounds great. Now, what about the cost? It said six hundred and 55 pounds in the ad. So does that include the cost of getting to Scotland? I'm living in London. 00:04:54,300 No, that's just the holiday itself. Oh, and another thing, we do require you to take out insurance if you're not already covered. The one we recommend is Harvey Insurance Services. 00:05:06,980 Harvey? 00:05:08,000 Yes, that's H-A-R-V-E-Y. 00:05:12,060 Thanks. Well, I'd definitely like to go ahead with this. So what do I do now to reserve a place? 00:05:19,620 Well, we'll need to have a 10% deposit immediately, so you can pay that now by credit card, if that's okay. And then we'd ask you to send us the remaining amount 45 days before the start of the holiday. 00:05:33,380 Okay. 00:05:34,240 So could I have your card? 00:05:39,570 That is the end of part one. You now have one minute to check your answers to part one. ## 题目与答案 ### 1.
