TEST 3

SECTION 1

MAN: Good morning, please take a seat. How can I help you?

WOMAN: Well, I'm thinking of buying a new car and I'd like some advice.

MAN: Sure, yes. Had you got any particular make in mind?

WOMAN: I'm interested in a Lida - I've had one before and liked it. But I haven't really made up my mind.

MAN: Sure. We've got various models. Umm, right. What about the engine size? Any ideas? WOMAN: The one I've got at the moment's a 1.2 litre engine but I find it a bit slow on long journeys. I'd like a bit more power this time ... a 1.4 should do, don't think I need a 1.6 or anything.

MAN: Right. Well I think the model you're looking at is the Max. Here's a picture.

WOMAN: Oh, yes ... have you got one in?

MAN: Yes. I'll take you to have a look at it in a minute. I'll just get a few more details. Er ... Is there anything else to do with the engine? What kind of gear change do you want? I presume you'd want a manual?

WOMAN: I'd want automatic - I've never driven a car with manual gears.

MAN: Right. Well now, here's the colour chart for the Max. Have you given that any thought? This blue's very popular at the moment.

WOMAN: Yes, it is nice, I like blue. What's it called? 'Royal'?

MAN: Yes.

WOMAN: But actually, I think I prefer this lighter shade here - 'sky'.

MAN: Yes, that's popular too.

WOMAN: I think I'll go for that.

MAN: You might have to wait a week or so for that colour, but I assume that'd be OK? WOMAN: Oh yes, fine.

MAN: Well, we can go outside and you can have a good look at one, and perhaps take it out. But first, can I just ask you about finance? The cash price is going to be somewhere in the region of seven and a half thousand. How would you like to pay? Are you in a position to pay cash, or would you need credit?

WOMAN: I'd like credit provided the terms are reasonable.

MAN: Well you can discuss that with my colleague in a moment; we have various arrangements. And would you be interested in us taking your present car as part exchange?

WOMAN: Yes.

MAN: OK, fine. So I'll just need some details from you and then we can do a valuation ... Is that OK?

WOMAN: Fine, yes.

MAN: Could I have your full name?

WOMAN: Wendy Harries, that's H-A-double R-I-E-S.

MAN: And is that Mrs ... Miss ... Ms ... ?

WOMAN: It's Doctor, actually.

MAN: Oh, right. And your address?

WOMAN: 20 Green Banks.

MAN: Is that 'Green' spelled as in the colour?

WOMAN: Yes, that's right.

MAN: OK.

WOMAN: Alton.

MAN: Is that O-L-T-O-N?

WOMAN: Not quite, it begins with an A, not an O.

MAN: Oh yes, that's in Hampshire isn't it?

WOMAN: That's right.

MAN: And do you know your postcode?

WOMAN: Yes. It's GU8 9EW.

MAN: Do you have a daytime phone number?

WOMAN: Well, I work at the hospital but it's a bit difficult to get hold of me. I can give you a number just for messages, and then I'll get back to you when I can. is that OK?

MAN: That's fine.

WOMAN: It's 0-7-9-8-2-5-7-6-4-3.

MAN: Fine. And about the car you have now, what make is it?

WOMAN: It's a Conti.

MAN: Do you know the year or the model name?

WOMAN: I think it's 1996, and it's called a Lion - like the animal.

MAN: Then it must be 1994, because they brought out the Fox after that.

WOMAN: Oh right, yes.

MAN: Mileage? Roughly?

WOMAN: I'm not sure. I know it's less than seventy thousand.

MAN: OK. What colour is it?

WOMAN: It's grey, metallic grey.

MAN: Right, and one last thing-what sort of condition would you say it's in?

WOMAN: I'd probably describe it as reasonable. Do you need to see it? It's parked outside. MAN: Not at the moment, no. Perhaps you could call in one day next week ...

SECTION 2

MAN: As I said earlier, there is I think at Rexford an excellent combination of physical and geographical advantages - as well as having a rural setting and still being close to central London, something that will certainly be of interest to you is that Rexford is just 35 minutes from London Airport. At Rexford we have a strong research capability. We came 7th out of 101 universities in last year's research assessment, carried out by a government body and did particularly well in your particular subjects, engineering and science. Actually we got a top research grade of five for engineering, geography and computer sciences. One further point - and I know from talking to you inpidually that a number of you may be looking for some experience in industry after the course - is that all our science and engineering research departments have unusually close relationships with industry in the area. Anyway that's enough sales talk from me ... I'll just take a sip of this coffee that's just arrived, thank you, and then I'll say something about what actually happens when you apply.

Right ... Now if you do decide to make an application, what you do is send it directly to me in my department. I will then immediately send confirmation and the application process begins. Er ... I'd like to say at this point that you shouldn't worry if this process doesn't work all that quickly - I mean occasionally there are postal problems, but most often the hold-up is caused by references -

the people you give as referees, shall we say, take their time to reply. Anyway, it's absolutely normal for this process to take three to four months. What I do in this period is keep in touch with you and reassure you that things are moving along.

One of the ways we've devised to help you decide about applying as well as later when you've been accepted ... hopefully ... is to put you in …… 此处隐藏：15441字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
