You will hear a telephone conversation between a travel agent and a customer.

the customer's name is andrea brown so brown has been written in the space Now we shall begin.

You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.

Listen carefully and answer questions one to six.

Good morning, World Tours.

My name is Jamie.

How can I help you?

Good morning.

I want some information on self-drive tours in the USA.

Could you send me a brochure? Of course.

Could I have your name, please?

Andrea Brown.

Thank you.

And your address?

24 Ardley Road.

Can you spell that?

A-R-D-L-E-I-G-H Road.

Postcode?

B H 5 2 O P.

Thanks.

And can I have your phone number?

Is a mobile alright?

Fine.

It's 077 86 643 091.

Thank you.

And can I ask you where you heard about World Tours?

From a friend, or did you see an advert somewhere?

No, I read about you in the newspaper.

OK.

I'll get the brochures and the post to you, but can I give you some information over the phone.

What kinds of things do you want to do on your holiday?

I'm interested in going to California with my family.

I've got two children and we want to hire a car.

OK.

We have a couple of self-drive tours there, visiting different places of interest in California.

The first one begins in Los Angeles and there's plenty of time to visit some of the theme parks there.

Ah, that's something on my children's list, so I'd want to include that.

Good.

Then you drive to San Francisco.

From San Francisco you can drive to Yosemite Park, where you spend a couple of nights.

You can choose to stay in a lodge or on the campsite.

I don't like the idea of staying in a tent.

It'd be too hot.

Right.

And the tour ends in Las Vegas.

Okay.

The other trip we can arrange is slightly different.

It starts in San Francisco, then you drive south to cambria someone told me there's a really nice castle near cambria will we go near

that hurst castle is on that road so you could stop there good i'd like to do that

does this trip also go into the desert no it continues to santa monica where most people like to stop

and do some shopping we have enough of that at home so that doesn't interest us okay Well, you could go straight on to San Diego.

That's good for beaches, isn't it?

That's right.

That's a good place to relax, and your children might like to visit the zoo before flying home.

I don't think so.

We want some time for sunbathing and swimming.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.

Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.

So how many days are the trips and how much do they cost?

The first one I told you about is a self-drive tour through California which lasts 12 days and covers 2,020 kilometres.

The shortest journey is 206 kilometres and the longest is 632 kilometres.

The cost is £525 per person.

That includes accommodation, car rental and a flight, but no meals.

OK.

And the other trip?

That lasts nine days, but you spend only three days on the road.

You cover about 980 kilometres altogether.

So is that cheaper then?

Yes, it's almost £100 cheaper.

£429 per person, which is a good deal.

So that covers accommodation and car hire.

What about flights?

They aren't included, but these hotels offer dinner in the price.

OK.

Well, thank you very much.

I'll be in touch when I've had a chance to look at the brochure.

I'm pleased to help.

Goodbye.

That is the end of Section 1.

You now have half a minute to check your answers you

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
