Audio Script
Part 1.
Girl: Good morning. Can I book a coach trip to Edinburgh?
Man: Yes, there are two every day, morning and afternoon.
Girl: Tomorrow morning, please. It’s my free day. How much is it?
Man: It’s nine pounds for adults, five for children, and seven for students.
Girl: That’s good. I’m at the university. Here’s the money and my student card.
Man: Thanks. Here’s your ticket.
Girl: Where can I catch the coach?
Man: In Bridge Street or outside the Grand Hotel, or there’s a stop at the library if you want to
wait there.
Girl: Good idea, I’ll do that. What time does it leave?
Man: It leaves Bridge Street at quarter to nine and gets to you at five to nine. It takes ten
minutes going through town.
Girl: Is there time to see the castle in Edinburgh?
Man: Yes, we go there after the cathedral. We don’t visit the shops or museums, I’m afraid.
Girl: Fine. How long is the trip?
Man: The journey there and back is about two and a quarter hours and you spend two hours
in Edinburgh. So that’s four hours and fifteen minutes. You’ll be back by lunchtime.
Girl: Great!

Man: And I also did an IT course this year, and that got me my
Computer Skills Certificate, which I certainly hope is relevant. It's different anyway. That's all,

experience have you got?
Man: Well, not too much, because I've mainly been studying.

Woman:Oh yes.
Man: I've often worked in the college holidays as a tour ouide.
showing visitors round. That's quite enjoyable, meeting people.
Woman: I'm sure. Hmm, now onto interests. There's space here for two - what would you
say?
Man: Two... er, well, I like various sports ... but I suppose we
should put that I'm in the swimming club. I'm pretty committed to that.
Woman: Yes, that sounds good. And for the other one? Something different?
Man: I'm very keen on music too, and I love playing piano - I've been doing that for over ten
years now.
Woman: Yes, I'll put that down. Well, that's more or less it for the time being.
Man: Uh-huh.
Woman: Just one more thing. What I do need is your availability.
