8
Section 1.
9
You will hear a telephone conversation between a passenger and an official at the Land Transport Information Service at Toronto Airport.
10
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
11
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
12
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
13
Hello, this is Land Transport Information at Toronto Airport.
14
How may I help you?
15
Oh, good morning.
16
I'm flying to Toronto Airport next week and I need to get to a town called Milton.
17
Could you tell me how I can get there?
18
Milton, did you say?
19
Let me see.
20
I think that's about 150 miles southwest of here.
21
In fact, it's 147 miles, to be exact.
22
So it'll take you at least,
23
say, three to four hours by road.
24
The distance from the airport to Milton is 147 miles,
25
so 147 has been written in the space.
26
Now we shall begin.
27
You should answer the questions as you listen,
28
because you will not hear the recording a second time.
29
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
30
150 miles southwest of here.
31
In fact, it's 147 miles to be exact.
32
So it'll take you at least,
33
say, three to four hours by road.
34
Wow.
35
Is it as far as that?
36
Yes, I'm afraid so.
37
But you have a number of options to get you there,
38
and you can always rent a car right here at the airport, of course.
39
Right.
40
Well, I don't really want to drive myself,
41
so I'd like more information about public transport?
42
Okay.
43
In that case, the quickest and most comfortable is a cab,
44
and of course there are always plenty available, but it'll cost you.
45
You can also take a Greyhound bus,
46
or there's an airport shuttle service to Milton.
47
I think for that kind of distance,
48
a cab would be way beyond my budget.
49
But the bus sounds okay.
50
Can you tell me how much that would cost?
51
Sure.
52
Sure.
53
Let's see, that would be $15 one way or $27.50 return.
54
That's on the Greyhound.
55
Ah, that's quite cheap.
56
Great.
57
Whereabouts does it stop in Milton?
58
It goes directly from the airport here to the city centre,
59
and it's pretty fast.
60
But you have to bear in mind that there is only one departure a day,
61
so it depends what time your flight gets in.
62
Ah, of course.
63
Hang on.
64
We're due to get there at 11.30am.
65
Mmm, too bad.
66
The bus leaves at 3.45,
67
so you would have quite a wait, more than four hours.
68
Ah, I see.
69
Well, what about the shuttle you mentioned?
70
OK.
71
That's the airport shuttle that will take you from the airport right to your hotel or private address.
72
It's a door-to-door service, and it would suit you much better because there's one every two hours.
73
So how much does that cost?
74
Let's see.
75
Uh, yeah, that's $35 one way, $65 return.
76
So I guess it's a bit more expensive than the Greyhound.
77
Oh, that doesn't sound too bad,
78
especially if it'll take me straight to the hotel.
79
But you do need to reserve a seat.
80
OK.
81
Is it possible to make a booking right now, through you?
82
Sure.
83
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
84
you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
85
Now listen and answer questions six to ten.
86
OK, I just have to fill this form out for you.
87
So, what date do you want to book this for?
88
The 16th of October.
89
Oh, oh, no. Sorry, that's my departure date.
90
I arrive on the 17th,
91
so book it for them, please.
92
So that's the Toronto Airport shuttle to Milton,
93
and this is for just one person or...?
94
Yeah, yeah, just me, please.
95
Right, and you said your expected time of arrival was 11.30.
96
So if I book your shuttle for after 12,
97
let's say 12.30, that should give you plenty of time to,
98
you know, collect your baggage, maybe grab a coffee.
99
Yeah, that sounds fine.
100
As long as we land on time.
101
Well, we'll take your flight details,
102
so you don't need to worry too much about that.
103
Now, what about the fare?
104
What sort of ticket do you want?
105
One way or...
106
Yeah, that'll be fine, provided I can book the return trip once I'm there.
107
No problem.
108
Just allow a couple of days in advance to make sure you get a seat.
109
And what is your name, please?
110
Janet.
111
Janet Thompson.
112
Is that Thompson spelled with a P?
113
No, it's T-H-O-M-S-O-N.
114
OK.
115
And you'll be coming from the UK?
116
What flight will you be travelling on?
117
Oh, it's Air Canada flight number AC936 from London Heathrow.
118
Right.
119
Now, do you know where you'll be staying?
120
We need to give the driver an address.
121
Yes, it's called the Vacation Motel,
122
and I think it's near the town centre.
123
Anyway, the address is 24 Kitchener Street.
124
That's K-I-T-C-H-E-N-E-R Street.
125
That's fine.
126
Right, so that's $35 to pay, please.
127
Have you got your credit card number there?
128
Yes, it's a visa card,
129
and the number is 3303-8450-2045-6837.
130
OK.
131
Well, that seems to be everything.
132
Have a good trip, and we'll see you in Toronto next week.
133
Yes, bye.
134
Oh, thanks for your help.
135
That is the end of section 1.

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.
