Unit 7 Listening Section 1

Cambridge English, IELTS 10 Published by Cambridge University Press and Cambridge English
Language Assessment 2015 This recording is copyright. CD 2 Test 3 You will hear a number
of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear. There will
be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check
your work.

All the recordings will be played once only. The test is in four sections. At the end of the test,
you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

Now turn to section 1. Section 1 You will hear a conversation between the director of a
childcare centre and a parent enrolling her child in the centre. First, you have some time to
look at questions 1 to 6. You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.

Good morning. Welcome to the Early Learning Childcare Centre. How may I help you? Hi.

I spoke to you last week about enrolling my daughter for next year. Oh yes. I'll just get some
details from you.

So, you're her mother? That's right. And can I have your name? It's Carol. Carol Smith.

The parent's name is Carol Smith, so Smith 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 1 to 6. Good morning. Welcome to the Early Learning
Childcare Centre. How may I help you? Hi.

I spoke to you last week about enrolling my daughter for next year. Oh yes. I'll just get some
details from you.

So, you're her mother? That's right. And can I have your name? It's Carol. Carol Smith.

And your daughter's name? It's Kate. Now, we have several groups at the centre and we
cater for children from 3 to 5 years old. How old is your daughter? She's 3 now but she turns
4 next month.

I'll put 4 down because that's how old she'll be when she starts. Fine. She's so excited about
her birthday and coming to the centre.

Oh, that's good to hear. And what's your address? It's 46 Wombat Road. That's W-O-M-B-A-
T.

Woodside 4032. And what's the phone number? Oh, it's 3345 9865. So, have you decided
on the days you would like to bring your daughter here? I'd prefer Monday and Wednesday
if possible.

Hmm, I'll check. Monday's fine but I think the centre is already full for Wednesday. Ah, yes.
Sorry, it seems to be a very popular day. We can offer you a Thursday or a Friday as well. Oh
dear.

I suppose Thursday would be alright because she has swimming on Friday. OK, got that.
Because a lot of parents work, we do offer flexible start and finish times.

We're open from 7.30 in the morning until 6 o'clock at night. What time would you like your
daughter to start? I need to get to work in the city by 9, so I'll drop her off at 8.30. You're
pretty close to the city here, so that should give me plenty of time to get there. That's fine.

Now, we also need to decide which group she'll be in. We have two different groups and
they're divided up according to age. There's the green group, which is for 3 to 4-year-olds,
and then there's the red group, which is for 4 to 5-year-olds.

She's quite mature for her age and she can already write her name and read a little. Well, I'll
put her in the red group and we can always change her to the green one if there are any
problems. That sounds fine.

OK, let's move on to meals. We can provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. As she's finishing
pretty early, she won't need dinner.

Will you give her breakfast before she comes? Yes, she'll only need lunch. 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.

Now, does she have any medical conditions we need to know about? Does she have asthma
or any hearing problems, for example? No, but she does need to wear glasses. Oh, I'll make
a note of that. Yeah, she's pretty good about wearing them.

She can't see much without them. Right. OK.

Now, I also need emergency contact details. So what sort of information do you need? Just
the name and number of a friend or family member we can contact in case we can't get hold
of you at any time. OK.

That had better be my sister, Jenny Ball. That's B-A-L-L. Her phone number is 33467523.

Great. So she is the child's aunt? Yes, that's right. I'll make a note of that as well.

Now, is there anything you'd like to ask? What about payment? How much are the fees each
term? Well, for two days and the hours you've chosen, that will be $450 altogether. OK. And
do I have to pay that now? No.

We send out invoices once the children start at the centre. You can choose to pay at the end
of each term or we do offer a slightly discounted rate if you pay every month. Oh, I'll do that
then.

I find it easier to budget that way and I'm not used to the term dates just yet. Good. It
makes it a lot simpler for us as well.
Well, that's everything. Would you like me to show you around the centre? That is the end
of Section 1. You now have half a minute to check your answers. Now turn to Section 2.
