MAN: Good morning. Can I help you? WOMAN: Yes. I've just been accepted on a course at the university and I'd like to try and arrange accommodation in the hall of residence.【Example】 MAN: Yes, certainly. Please sit down. What I'll do is fill in a form with you to find out a little more about your preferences and so forth. WOMAN: Thank you. MAN: So first of all, can I take your name? WOMAN: It's Anu Bhatt.【Q1】 MAN: Could you spell your name please? WOMAN: Yes. A-N-U ... B-H-A double T. MAN: Thanks, and could I ask your date of birth? WOMAN: 31st March 1972.【Q2】 MAN: Thank you. And where are you from? WOMAN: India. MAN: Oh right. And what will you be studying? WOMAN: I’m doing a course in nursing.【Q3】 MAN: Right, thank you. And how long would you want to stay in hall, do you think? WOMAN: Well, it'll take three years but I’d only like to slay in hall for two.【Q4】 I'd like to think about living outside for the third year. MAN: Fine. And what did you have in mind for catering? Do you want to cook for yourself or have all your meals provided, that's full board? WOMAN: Is there something in between? MAN: Yes. You can just have evening meal provided, which is half board. WOMAN: That's what I'd prefer. MAN: Yes, a lot of students opt for that. Now, with that in mind, do you have any special diet, anything we should know about? WOMAN: Yes, I don't take red meat.【Q5】 MAN: No red meat.

MAN: Now, thinking about the room itself, we have a number of options. You can have a single study bedroom or you can have a shared one. These are both what we call simple rooms. The other alternative is to opt for a single bedsit which actually has more space and better facilities. There's about £20 a week difference between them. WOMAN: Well, actually my grant is quite generous and I think the bedsit sounds the best option.【Q6】 MAN: Lovely. I'll put you down for that and we'll see what availability is like. Now can I ask some other personal details which we like to have on record? WOMAN: Yes, of course. MAN: I wonder if you could let us know what your interests are. This might help us get a closer match for placing you in a particular hall. WOMAN: Ummm. Well. I love the theatre.【Q7】 MAN: Right. WOMAN: And I enjoy sports, particularly badminton. MAN: That's worth knowing. Now, what we finish with on the form is really a list from you of what your priorities are in choosing a hall and we'll do our best to take these into account. WOMAN: Well, the first thing is I’d prefer a hall where there are other mature students【Q8】, if possible. MAN: Yes, we do have halls which tend to cater for slightly older students. WOMAN: Ummm and I'd prefer to be out of town.【Q9】 MAN: That's actually very good for you because we tend to have more vacancies in out-of-town halls. WOMAN: Lucky! MAN: Yes. Anything else? WOMAN: Well, I would like somewhere with a shared area,【Q10】 a TV room for example, or something like that. It's a good way to socialise. MAN: It certainly is. WOMAN: That's it. MAN: Now, we just need a contact telephone number for you. WOMAN: Sure, I'll just find it. It’s double 67549. MAN: Great, so we'll be in contact with you as soon as possible ...
