1
You will hear a telephone conversation between an official at a village hall
2
and a woman who wants to hire a public room.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
4
Thank you.
5
not hear the recording a second time.
6
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.
7
Hello.
8
Oh, hello.
9
I wanted to inquire about hiring a room in the village
10
hall for the evening of September the 1st. Let me just see.
11
Yes, we have both rooms available that evening.
12
There's our main hall that's got seating for 200 people or there's the charlton room sorry the charlton room
13
c h a r l t o n that's got seating for up to 100 well
14
we're organizing a dinner to raise money for a charity,
15
and we're hoping for at least 150 people.
16
So I think we'll go for the main hall.
17
How much would that cost?
18
Let's see.
19
You wanted it for the evening of September the 1st?
20
Yes, that's a Saturday.
21
So from 6pm to midnight, that'd be £115.
22
That's the weekend price.
23
It's £75 on weekdays.
24
That's all right.
25
And I have to tell you,
26
there's also a deposit of £250,
27
which is returnable, of course,
28
as long as there's no damage.
29
But we do insist that this is paid in cash.
30
We don't take cards for that.
31
You can pay the actual rent of the room however you like, though.
32
Cash, credit card, cheque.
33
Oh, well, I suppose that's OK.
34
So, does the charge include use of tables and chairs and so on?
35
Oh, yes. And what about parking?
36
Yeah, that's all included.
37
The only thing that isn't included is...
38
You said you were organising a dinner?
39
Yeah.
40
Well, you'll have to pay extra for the kitchen if you want to use that.
41
It's £25.
42
It's got very good facilities,
43
good quality cookers and fridges and so on.
44
OK.
45
Well, I suppose that's all right.
46
We can cover the cost in our entry charges.
47
Right, so I'll make a note of that.
48
Now there are just one or two things you need to think about before the event.
49
For example, you'll have to see about getting a licence if you're planning to have any music during the meal.
50
Oh, really?
51
It's quite straightforward.
52
I'll give you the details later on.
53
And about a week or ten days before your event,
54
you'll need to contact the caretaker,
55
that's Mr Evans, to make the arrangements for entry.
56
He'll sort that out with you.
57
And do I give him the payment as well?
58
No, you do that directly with me.
59
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
60
you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
61
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
62
Right.
63
Now is there anything I need to know about what happens during the event?
64
Well, as you'll be aware,
65
of course, the building is no smoking throughout. Of course.
66
Now, are you having a band?
67
Yes.
68
Well, they'll have a lot of equipment,
69
so rather than using the front door,
70
they should park their van round the back and use the stage door there.
71
You can open that from inside,
72
but don't forget to lock it at the end.
73
OK.
74
And talking of bans, I'm sure I don't need to tell you this,
75
but you must make sure that no one fiddles about with the black box by the fire door.
76
That's a system that cuts in when the volume reaches a certain level.
77
It's a legal requirement.
78
Sure.
79
Anyway, we want people to be able to talk to one another,
80
so we don't want anything too loud.
81
Oh, that reminds me, We'll be having speeches.
82
Are there any microphones available?
83
Yep, just let the caretaker know.
84
He'll get those for you.
85
Right, now when the event is over,
86
we do ask that the premises are left in good condition.
87
So there's a locked cupboard and you'll be informed of the code you need to open that.
88
It's got all the cleaning equipment,
89
brushes and detergent and so on.
90
Right.
91
So what do we need to do after everyone's gone?
92
Sweep the floors, I suppose?
93
Well, actually, they have to be washed, not just swept.
94
Then you'll be provided with black plastic bags,
95
so all the rubbish must be collected up and left outside the door. Of course.
96
We'll make sure everything's left tidy.
97
Oh, and I forgot to ask,
98
I presume we can have decorations in the room?
99
Yes, but you must take them down afterwards.
100
Sure.
101
And the chairs and tables should be stacked up neatly at the back of the room.
102
I'll make sure I've got a few people to help me.
103
Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
