Hello. I'm just phoning you as I have seen an advertisement on your website for a property that I'm interested in renting. If possible, I'd like to find out some more information before I organize a viewing. 00:01:05,340 No problem at all. What is the address of the property that you'd like to inquire about? 00:01:10,640 It's 21 North Avenue. 00:01:12,840 Okay. 00:01:16,880 The address of the property is 21 North Avenue. So 21 North has been written in the space. 00:01:27,380 Now we shall begin. 00:01:29,800 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 four. 00:01:44,520 Hello, how can I help you today? 00:01:47,140 Ah, yes. Hello. I'm just phoning you as I have seen an advertisement on your website for a property that I'm interested in renting. If possible, I'd like to find out some more information before I organize a viewing. 00:01:58,860 No problem at all. What is the address of the property that you'd like to inquire about? 00:02:04,100 It's Twenty-One North Avenue. 00:02:06,400 Okay, what is it that you'd like to know? 00:02:09,220 First of all, I'd like to know what facilities the office has, as I need to make sure that it'll be suitable for my advertising company. 00:02:16,600 I see. The office contains a large open plan space with a wide frontage onto a busy street. There's lots of passersby, so your business would have a really good street presence. There is also a toilet and newly refurbished kitchen equipped with a dishwasher and oven. 00:02:33,900 Wow, that sounds great. I'd definitely like to register my interest. 00:02:38,380 Okay, perfect. I just need to take some details from you, if that's okay. What is your full name? 00:02:45,620 Jonathan Smith. 00:02:47,200 And what position do you hold in your company, Jonathan? 00:02:50,440 Until recently, I was sales manager. However, I have recently been promoted to regional manager, so I'll be in charge of running our new office. Can I ask where the office is located? 00:02:59,900 Yes, of course. It's located downtown, just around the corner from Royal Square Shopping Center. 00:03:06,200 Hmm. That's a bit too far out of the center for my liking. I'd much prefer to be located in close proximity to the station. Do you have any property located in that vicinity? 00:03:15,800 It would help me to narrow down the results if you could tell me how many employees you intend to have working in the office. 00:03:22,360 Our branch is made up of thirty employees, and we'd like some extra space for meetings and presentations. 00:03:28,160 Most average office spaces are around 8000 square feet, but it sounds like you would need more space than that. I think that 10000 square feet would be more suitable for your needs. Now, let's see. We have ten properties that match those criteria, so let's try and narrow it down. 00:03:49,460 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions five to ten. 00:03:57,820 Now listen and answer questions five to ten. 00:04:04,660 Do you have any other requirements? 00:04:07,100 Well, we'll need access to the office twelve hours a day, but security should be 24 hours. We don't hold any money on the premises, but it's crucial that we protect our customer information against theft. 00:04:19,180 Okay. Anything else? 00:04:21,220 Yes. Ideally, I would prefer the new office to be split over two levels so that the working office area is kept separate from street level. That will enable us to locate a reception at ground floor level to welcome customers when they arrive. 00:04:34,460 And are there any particular facilities that you need? 00:04:37,420 Our employees work very hard throughout the day, and I want to make sure that they're well-nourished. It would therefore be ideal if I could provide them with a kitchen to cook hot meals at lunchtime. 00:04:48,180 Would you want the kitchen to be located at first floor level with the office? 00:04:53,100 No, I don't want the office to be filled with the smell of food. It would be better if the new office had a basement where we could locate the kitchen and staff room area to keep it at arm's length from the workspace. 00:05:04,080 Okay, I have now narrowed the search to two available properties. Do you have any other requirements that could narrow our search down to one result? 00:05:13,360 All of our office staff will be working at desktop computers, so I'll need the office to be equipped with at least forty power sockets if possible. 00:05:21,560 Anything else? 00:05:22,940 Studies have shown that exercise is very important for maintaining happiness and healthy brain function. In an office environment, it's very difficult to get sufficient daily exercise, so it would be great if they had access to a nearby exercise area. 00:05:37,580 One of the available offices is located next door to a gym. Would this be suitable? 00:05:43,400 Yes, absolutely. A gym is exactly what I was thinking of. 00:05:46,580 Brilliant. Do you need the office to be furnished? 00:05:50,280 I don't think so. I already have some furniture, so I would prefer to bring this myself. 00:05:55,720 That's no problem at all. 00:05:58,820 Ah, and before I forget, we will definitely require Wi-Fi access as much of our work and customer recruitment is carried out online. 00:06:07,260 No problem. It sounds like the property will suit your needs perfectly. I've taken the liberty of booking you a viewing at three PM on Thursday, so you can see it for yourself. Is there anything else I can help you with today? 00:06:20,760 No, I think that's all the information I need. Thanks very much for your help. 00:06:25,060 No problem. It's been my pleasure to be of assistance. Goodbye. 00:06:31,900 That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 1.
