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.

练习建议
为了提高您的听力和口语能力，建议您使用英语影子跟读的技巧。有意识地模仿录音中的发音、语速和语调是非常有帮助的。在开始练习之前，您可以先将录音反复播放，以便熟悉对话内容。接着，试着在听的过程中同时跟着说出录音的每一句话，这种练习方式被称为shadow speech或shadow speak。
特别是在本视频中对话的速度适中，语调清晰，非常适合用于shadowing site上进行跟读练习。请留意官员与女士之间的交流方式，尝试理解每个词汇的含义以及它们在对话中的自然使用。例如，您可以注意到与租用房间相关的一些具体信息，如房间的大小、价格和附加条件。在练习时，不妨将这些词汇和短语使用在其他情境中，加深记忆。
最后，建议您录制自己的跟读内容，并与原录音进行对比。这将帮助您及时发现并纠正发音和语调等方面的问题，进一步提升您的英语口语能力。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
