Can I help you? 00:00:57,520 Hi. A friend told me that you can arrange rooms for hire for parties and things like that? 00:01:03,660 That's right. We have about ten hotels on our list, and we hire out function rooms on their behalf. Are you having a party? 00:01:11,700 Yes. It's for my birthday, my twenty-first. 00:01:15,740 Okay. First of all, can you tell me how many people you're inviting? 00:01:20,400 I'm not sure yet. It depends on the cost. 00:01:23,620 Okay. Well, the Exchange Hotel might be a good choice for you. They have a room which will seat up to 45 and will take 65 people standing. Are you going to have a meal or just a buffet? 00:01:37,740 Uh, I think a buffet. It doesn't have to be a sit-down meal. I don't know the Exchange Hotel. Can you tell me a bit more about it? 00:01:47,660 Well, it was built about a hundred and 50 years ago. We regularly arrange parties there. They have a room for hire on the fifth floor. It's not the most central hotel, but it's very easy for people to find. It's very popular for wedding parties, so I'll have to check if it's available. 00:02:05,160 Okay. Is the room nice? Have you seen it? 00:02:09,039 I have. It's quite big and very light, but the best thing is that it has a wonderful view. On a fine evening, you can see for miles. 00:02:17,860 Oh, sounds good. How much is it? 00:02:21,460 It's thirty-two pounds a head. That includes the hire of the room and the standard buffet, but not drinks, and you have to have at least 35 guests. 00:02:31,140 Well, that won't be a problem. We're likely to be more than that. Can you tell me when it's available? 00:02:37,680 I can check that for you. Which dates are you looking at? 00:02:41,380 Uh, ideally the middle to end of April, weekends. 00:02:46,600 Let me see. Um, 00:02:50,080 they can do any Saturday in April, but not Fridays or Sundays. 00:02:55,580 Okay. But if I want something bigger, what would you recommend? 00:03:00,780 There's the Limerick Hotel. 00:03:02,980 How do you spell that? Uh, I'm taking notes. 00:03:06,220 It's L-I-M-E-R-I-C-K. There's a large room there which seats up to 75 people, or there's room for 125 standing. 00:03:20,920 Oh, I expect we'll be standing. Where is it? 00:03:24,880 It's in the business district, so public transport's good. It's got a large car park too, though. The room's on the ground floor, and it's recently been refurbished. 00:03:34,880 Is there a garden we could use if we're on the ground floor? 00:03:37,900 There's a small one that would be available. 00:03:40,480 Oh, sounds nice, especially if it's a warm evening. And the cost? 00:03:46,100 The buffet is thirty-six pounds per person. Shall I check availability in April for you? 00:03:52,160 Yes, please. 00:03:53,220 Okay. You said weekends, didn't you? 00:03:56,960 Yes. 00:03:58,600 No Fridays again, and it's not free on the first Saturday. That's the sixth. But it's free on the 13th and 20th. 00:04:07,580 Thank you. 00:04:12,020 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions eight to ten. 00:04:32,130 Now listen and answer questions eight to ten. 00:04:40,260 I think the first hotel looks best for me, but I need two or three days to think about it. 00:04:45,460 Okay. Well, if I take your booking today, I can hold it for a week. So if you want to change your mind or have a look at other possible hotels, we can do that. To confirm the booking, I then need a deposit of 35%. You pay the other 65% ten days before the party. 00:05:03,160 Okay. And when do I have to confirm numbers? 00:05:06,080 The number of guests needs to be confirmed 5 days before the party, and you also have to decide which menu you want then. 00:05:14,660 That sounds okay. I'll ring you on Monday. Is this your direct line? Um, 36820207. 00:05:23,880 I'll be out of the office on Monday, but you can call me on my mobile phone on 044298611. 00:05:34,440 All right. I've got all that. I'll ring you back later. Thanks. 00:05:39,560 Bye then. 00:05:43,560 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.
