You will hear a telephone conversation between an agent and a young woman who wants a temporary job looking after children for a family in another country. First, you have some time to look at questions one to six. You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. 00:00:24,660 Good morning. Home Help for Good. How can I help you? 00:00:27,560 Hi, this is Vanessa Clark. We spoke last week about my application for the au pair job. I wondered whether you'd been able to find a family for me yet. 00:00:37,500 Uh, yes. Uh, I've got your form here, Vanessa. I was going to phone you later today. 00:00:42,840 Oh, that's good. Where does the family live? 00:00:46,120 Yes. Uh, one moment. I'll get the details for you. Yes, in a village called Shallics. I'm sure you'll like it there. 00:00:54,350 The family live in Shallics, so Shallics has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. 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 six. 00:01:10,340 Good morning. Home Help for Good. How can I help you? 00:01:13,260 Hi, this is Vanessa Clark. We spoke last week about my application for the au pair job. I wondered whether you'd been able to find a family for me yet. 00:01:23,180 Uh, yes. Uh, I've got your form here, Vanessa. I was going to phone you later today. 00:01:28,520 Oh, that's good. Where does the family live? 00:01:31,800 Yes. Uh, one moment. I'll get the details for you. Yes, in a village called Shallics. I'm sure you'll like it there. 00:01:39,860 Is that in Switzerland? 00:01:41,530 No, it's in France, actually, but it's near the Swiss border. 00:01:45,380 Thanks. I'll look it up on the Internet. And the children? 00:01:49,420 Um, they have three. Two eight-year-old girls, Jo and Maggie. They're twins. And Andreas, he's four and not in school yet. 00:01:58,580 Okay. And what do the parents do? 00:02:01,560 The father works for a local company. 00:02:03,720 You mean as a manager or something? 00:02:06,120 He's a director, actually. And the mother is a nurse, but she only works part-time. 00:02:10,940 Oh, good. And can you tell me what their family name is? 00:02:14,960 Keller. That's K-E-double L-A-R. 00:02:19,160 A-R at the end? 00:02:20,520 Yes. 00:02:21,160 Thanks. And about the contract, when would I be able to go? 00:02:25,560 We'll be sending you all the details very soon, but the family's very flexible. They suggested some times around the 15th of June. 00:02:33,400 And are they happy for me to only go for 6 months rather than 12? 00:02:37,840 Well, our families do usually like you to commit to 12 months, but I did tell the parents you would prefer the shorter time, and they're fine with that. But if you do change your mind... 00:02:47,640 I'll let you know. It's just that a year sounded so long. Uh, what about time off? 00:02:53,680 You'll get one whole day off per week. That's Sunday. You'll have to work every Saturday, I'm afraid, and you're also free for two half days during the week from Monday to Friday. You can decide when to take those week by week, apparently. Is that okay? 00:03:07,820 Sounds good. What about money? I think you said AU pairs get paid 125 euros a week normally. Is that right? 00:03:16,140 Mm-hmm. 00:03:17,040 Good. Um, what else do I need to know? Oh, what are they expecting me to do? Um, cook? Do housework? 00:03:24,570 They have a cleaner, but you will have to do some light cooking, which you'd expect in this kind of job. And as you've got your license, they will want you to do some driving, just taking the children to school and back, I imagine. 00:03:35,600 Fine. 00:03:36,800 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you'll have some time to look at questions seven to ten. Now listen and answer questions seven to ten. 00:03:46,900 In my free time, I want to do some language lessons. Would that be possible? 00:03:51,900 I've got the details of a college where you can take lessons. 00:03:55,080 How far is that from the house? 00:03:57,160 Let's see. Um, i-it's a 30 minute walk, 2.5 kilometers. Or you might be able to take the car. It'd only be a 5 minute drive. 00:04:06,080 Thanks. And what about the area? I mean, as far as what kind of sports I could do there. I absolutely love swimming. Is there a pool? 00:04:14,920 I know it's a good area for sailing. Your family said lots of people do that. But I don't have any other details. Perhaps your Internet search could help you with that too. 00:04:24,020 Hmm. Just wondered, but this village, is it small, busy, quiet, large? 00:04:30,380 I don't know much about it, but the family did say there's a club which lots of local families are involved in, and it has all sorts of things going on in the daytime and evening. 00:04:39,540 In the village itself? 00:04:40,960 Mm-hmm. And it's funded by the locals too. Anything else I can help you with? 00:04:45,860 One thing. My parents are a bit worried about insurance. Should I get some? 00:04:50,680 Yes, that would be a good idea. I'll pop a leaflet in with your information file about that. I'll be sending you the paperwork in a few days. 00:04:58,280 Thanks for your help for now then. 00:05:00,140 You're welcome. Any other questions, just call us. 00:05:03,380 I will. Thanks. 00:05:05,160 Now here's the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 1.
