2 TRANSCRIPT JANET: Hello? AGENT: Yes, I’d like to speak with Janet Evans (Example), please. JANET: Speaking. AGENT: Hi Ms. Evans, this is Jim Rodriguez calling from Farrelly Mutual about your recent homeowner ’s insurance inquiry. JANET: Yes, hi. Thanks for returning my call. AGENT: My pleasure. I understand you are potentially interested in insurance for a bungalow located a bit out of town. Could you give me the address? JANET: Sure, it’s 49 Greenway (Q1) Court. Greenway is one word. AGENT: Thank you. Alright, and would you prefer to be contacted via email or phone? JANET: Either one is fine – maybe try emailing me first and as an alternative I can give you my phone number. AGENT: Great – and what is your email address? JANET:
[email protected] (Q2). AGENT: Hm, did you say “cat,” as in the animal? JANET: Yes. It is the acronym for the construction company I work for – I’m sure you’ve seen them around. AGENT: Yes, I have. And could you give me your primary phone number, and the best time to reach you? JANET: Sure – the number is (020) 4251-9443. I am generally unable to answer my phone at work, but anytime after 5.30 p.m. (Q3) is fine. AGENT: I will make a note of that here. Now I’m going to ask you a little bit about the property itself so we can make an accurate estimate of the cost of insuring your home. Could you tell me the size of your house? JANET: Um, well, I don’t have the exact measurements, but I’m pretty sure it’s right around 80 (Q4) square metres. Should I measure it and call you back later? AGENT: No, that’s completely alright. I’ll write 80 square metres for now to get the estimate and then an agent will come get the exact measurements later on if you decide to purchase our insurance. JANET: Okay, great. AGENT: And what material is your house made of? For example, wood, brick, stucco... JANET: It’s mainly brick (Q5). AGENT: Great – that will give you a lower rate than most other materials since it is so strong. JANET: Wonderful! AGENT: And do you have any sort of home security, Ms. Evans? JANET: Um, we don’t have a fence or anything yet, but we have an alarm system (Q6) that we use regularly. AGENT: Good. AGENT: Now I’ll go through a number of things we offer coverage for, and I’d like you to tell me which

TRANSCRIPT Presenter: These days we're all too familiar with the word allergy and phrases like 'I'm allergic to pollen or eggs or cats•. There's a general perception too that more people have allergies than in the past. Is this because the subject is getting more exposure in the media, or are we really becoming less resistant to allergens? These are just some of the questions we’ll be tackling. In today's phone-in programme. In the studio with me today are Dr Mary Egerton, a family doctor, and allergy specialist Dr Mohamed Bawadi to answer your questions. Our first caller today is Tim from Edinburg h. Tim, what's your question? Tim: Hi, right, well, I suffer from hay fever, you know - I'm very allergic to grass and the pollen from certain trees - especially in the spring. The really peculiar thing is that my allergy didn't begin until I was in my mid- thirties. What I want to know is, why did I start so late, and do you think my allergy could disappear again just as suddenly or am I stuck with it now? Presenter: Dr Egerton, would you like to answer Tim first? Mary Egerton: Hello, Tim. Your story is a very common one. The fact is that allergies do not discriminate - they're just as likely to affect the old as they are the young. I'm afraid they can develop at any
