Listening Task
Text Accommodation for College Students
Exercise 1:Listening for general understanding
Listen to the tape once and then choose the right answers to the questions you hear.
R: Good morning. Can I help you?
S: Yes, please. I’m a new student and I’d like to have some information about the…em…the accommodation for students.
R: Right. The university provides two types of accommodation, halls of residence and self-catering accommodation.
S: How much does it cost for the self-catering accommodation?
R: For a single room, thirty-seven pounds eighty-six per week, that’s about five forty-one a day. For a double room, it’s fifty-two seventy-eight per week. This will apply throughout this academic year.
S: I’d like to stay in the self-catering accommodation. How far is that from the residence to the university?
R: It all depends. The residences at 36 Elms Road and 110 Palm Road are about one and a half miles from the university main site and the Freeman’s Common House at William Road are half a mile.
S: When do I need to apply?
R: Are you an undergraduate or a postgraduate?
S: Undergraduate.
R: Then you should apply for it as soon as possible, since places in university-owned accommodation are limited and if you don’t apply before the end of the month, you are not likely to get a place.
S: Could you possibly tell me what to do, if no vacancy is available?
R: Yes, you may consider private accommodation. The university runs an Accommodation Information Office and its staff will help you.
S: Where is the office?
R: In the Students’ Union Building.
S: Whom can I contact?
R: Mr. Underwood. David Underwood, the manager of the accommodation information office.
S: Thank you very much.
R: You are welcome.
