LISTENING (2.0 pts) PART I: You will hear people talking in FIVE different situations. For questions 1-5, choose the best answer (A, B or C). Write your answers on the answer sheet. You will listen twice for each question. (1.0 pts) Question 1: You hear a restaurant manager talking about the cooks who work for him. What does he say about them? A. They dislike cleaning tasks. B. They have a choice of jobs. C. They help to decide the menu. As restaurant manager, I feel responsible for the quality of the food we serve. So it's up to me to check the ingredients that have been delivered overnight to make sure they are of sufficient quality, and to produce a menu for the day. The cooks arrive at about ten a.m. to prepare lunch and I'll take them through the menu. Because lunch is concentrated over a short period of time it can get very busy and very hot. But unlike some kitchens, we tend to divide the jobs up according to who likes doing what, and that includes cleaning pots and pans and clearing the place before dinner. Question 2: You hear a woman talking about a new book. What does she particularly like about the book? A. It is educational. B. It is well organized. C. It is enjoyable. It's a factual book, a chronicle of the twentieth century and it's wonderful. I mean it's terribly bitty and it's not going to give you a lot of information nor be good for school work. That's what's really nice about it. Here is a reference book which it is fun to dip in and out of. It's hardly going to help anyone write an essay and it avoids being geared to any school syllabus, unlike so much of what is published today. But for anyone who likes little details, you know, you can look up your date of birth, for example, and see what else happened then, it's a very good book.
Trang 2/7 Question 3: You hear the writer of a television soap opera being interviewed about the programme. What will happen next in the story? A. Someone will make an important decision. B. Someone will go away unexpectedly. C. Someone will learn the truth at last. Man: So, there've been some dramatic events in Victoria Street this past week, what with Mariela deciding not to marry Jason, and Stephen leaving home in the middle of a family row. Are next week's episodes as exciting? Woman: Well, I can't give away the whole story, but I don't think you'll be disappointed! I can tell you that Stephen's mother is forced to tell her husband the secret she's been hiding for years, which leads to more fireworks and a few tears. And Jason refuses to accept Mariela's decision, so you're going to hear a lot more from him, and look out for some surprises there. Question 4: You hear part of a radio interview. Who is speaking? A. a taxi driver B. a porter C. a tourist guide We get people to the taxis, that's the first priority, and to the trains. We make sure they get on early and get comfortable seats. These days many passengers have a lot of luggage and they want assistance with it. So we provide a muchneeded service. We even take people down to the Underground or to places in the surrounding streets. But the majority of users are airline passengers with a lot of bags and perhaps accompanied by elderly relatives, young children and so on. Obviously they can't manage everything on their own. Question 5: You hear a woman talking about how she keeps fit. Why did she decide to take up line dancing? A. She thought the pace would suit her. B. She had heard about it on television. C. She wanted to try exercising to music. I exercise in the form of dance. At one time, I did aerobics because exercise is more interesting with music, but I've since moved on to line dancing. It's less energetic, but I go three times a week. I run my own business, work hard, and it's just a way to cut off rather than watch television. It's also a challenge keeping up with the new steps. I think young people sometimes take exercise too far, get over-concerned with how they look, when they'll never be able to keep it up at that sort of pace. Whereas line dancing struck me as something I could sustain as part of my normal life.
Trang 3/7 PART II: You will listen to a short conversation about Milo’s restaurants. For questions 6-10, complete the form below by writing NO MORE THAN ONE WORD OR A NUMBER for each answer. Write your answers on the answer sheet. You will listen twice. (1.0 pts) WORKING AT MILO’S RESTAURANTS Benefits Question 6: ________training_______ provided for all staff Question 7: _________discount______ during weekdays at all Milo’s restaurants Question 8: _________taxi______ provided after midnight Personal specification ♦ must be prepared to work well in a team ♦ must care about maintaining a high standard of (9) _______service_______. ♦ must have a qualification in (10) _______English________. TRANSCRIPT W: So, I understand you’re interested in restaurant work? M: Yes. I’ve got a bit of experience and I can provide references. W: That’s good. I can check all that later. Now, Milo’s Restaurants have some vacancies at the moment. They’re a really good company to work for. Lots of benefits. M: Oh right. W: Yes. They’ve got a very good reputation for looking after staff. For example, all employees get training -even temporary staff. M: Oh really? That’s quite unusual, isn’t it? W: Certainly is. M: And do staff get free uniforms too? W: Urn ... you just need to wear a white T-shirt and black trousers, it says here. So I guess not ... But another benefit of working for a big company like this is that you can get a discount at any of their restaurants. M: Even at weekends? W: No, but you’ll be working then anyway. M: Oh yes. I suppose so. Most of their restaurants are in the city centre, aren’t they? So, easy to get to by bus? W: Yes. That’s right. But if you have to do a late shift and finish work after midnight, the company will pay for you to get a taxi home. M: I probably won’t need one. I think I’d use my bike.
Trang 4/7 W: OK. Now, they do have some quite specific requirements for the kind of person they’re looking for. Milo’s is a young, dynamic company and they’re really keen on creating a strong team. It’s really important that you can fit in and get on well with everyone. M: Yeah. I’ve got no problem with that. It sounds good, actually. The last place I worked for was quite demanding too. We had to make sure we gave a really high level of service. W: That’s good to hear because that will be equally important at Milo’s. I know they want people who have an eye for detail. M: That’s fine. I’m very used to working in that kind of environment. W: Perfect. So the only other thing that’s required is good communication skills, so you’ll need to have a certificate in English. B.
