Transcript Dictation:
Amanda: Dubai Palm Apartment, Amanda speaking. ___________ (1) can I help you?
Leo: Oh hi, Amanda. I’m ringing to __________ (2) about a holiday apartment for the
___________ (3) after next.
A: Ok, no problem. Let me get your _________ (4) first, then I’ll tell you what we’ve
got. Is that all right?
L: Fine, go ________ (5).
A: Ok, can I ________ (6) your name first, please?
L: Yes, it’s Leo Blucher, that’s L-E-O – that’s my first name – and my ________ (7) is B-
L-U-C-H-E-R.
A: Ok, I’ve got that. _________ (8) are you from, just out of interest, Leo?
L: I’m Australian.
A: Right, ok, and what’s your __________ (9)?
L: It’s number 37 Blumengasse in Vienna.
A: Right. Could you just spell Blumengasse for me, please, Leo? My ___________ (10)
is not too good.
L: Sure, it’s B-L-U-M-E-N-G-A-double S-E.
A: Great, thanks, and what’s the ____________ (11) like in Vienna at the moment?
L: It’s pretty grey and ___________ (12), I’m afraid. Hope it’s better in Dubai.
A: Yes, it’s _________ (13) at the moment. Sunny and warm, but not too hot. Now,
can you give me your __________ (14) number?
L: Yes, it’s 4312 11057.
A: Great. So you’re looking for a __________ (15) apartment, Leo. How many people
is it for, just yourself?
L: No, there’ll be four of us, two _________ (16) and two children.
A: Fine, and when would you like it from?
L: Ideally from the 1st of __________ (17).
A: January the 1st. Ok. I’ll have a look and see what we’ve got. How _________ (18)
would you like to stay?
L: Well, it __________ (19) a little bit on the __________ (20), but I think that about
nine days would be __________ (21).
A: Fine. And, talking of prices, what would be your __________ (22), do you think?
L: Well, I’ve looked on the __________ (23), but I don’t know if I’m being realistic if I
say 200 euros per day. Things seem to ________ (24) from 150 to well over 400.
A: Well, it depends where, of course, but I think we could probably find something
for you at that price.
L: Great. There are various other things, though. Our __________ (25) are quite
small, and we don’t want to take them to ________ (26) all the time, so one thing
we’d really appreciate is a fully equipped __________ (27) so we can do some
cooking.
A: Yes, I completely understand. Do you have any other _________ (28)
requirements?
L: Yes, we live in the city centre hundreds of miles from the ________ (29), so we’d
really like be able to see it from our _________ (30).
A: Ok, I’ll note that down. All our apartments come with air conditioning and central
heating, by the way.
L: Oh dear. One thing I don’t like is the ____________ (31) of air conditioning in the
background. Can you make sure it’s as ________ (32) as possible?
A: Yes, I’ll look into that. Anything else?
L: Yes, just one more thing. We’d like to __________ (33) a car while we’re in Dubai,
so we’ll need to have a _________ (34) space, I think – we don’t want to have to
walk along way from the car to the apartment.
A: I think you’re quite right. I’ll look into all these things and make a ________ (35) of
possible apartments. Do you have an email __________ (36), so I an send them to
you?

Transcript Dictation:
Man: Hello, Good Moves _____________ (1) Agency. Ben speaking. How can I help
you?
Woman: Good morning. I’m calling about an ____________ (2) on your website, and
was wondering if I could have some more ___________ (3).
M: Certainly. Can I take your ___________ (4) before we get started?
W: Sure.
M: Right, what’s your name, please?
W: Ok, my name is Clarice Willard. Clarice is C-L-A-R-I-C-E. And Willard, W-I—L-L-A-R-
D.
M: And have you got a ____________ (5) number?
W: Yes, I’ll give you my mobile, which is _______________ (6).
M: That’s great, thanks. And can I ask how you found us?
W: Of course. A family member used you last year and ____________ (7) you. So, I
had a look at your website and, well, that’s why I’m calling now.
M: Ok, so, which ____________ (8) are you interested in?
W: The apartment on Staham Street, the one on the 3rd ____________ (9).
M: Let me see. Ah, I’m afraid that flat’s no longer ___________ (10).
W: No?
M: No, it went this morning. It’s in a really ___________ (11) part of town. We do
have a house on the same street, if you’re interested. It’s _________ (12) a month.
W: Er, no, I think that’s much too ___________ (13). I think an apartment is all we
can ___________ (14).
M: Oh, so it’s not just for you?
W: No, me and a friend. We’re both starting work in the town next __________ (15).
M: Oh right, so it’s too of you. So, let’s see. Do you have any preferences in terms of
_________ (16)?
W: Both our jobs are in the town _________ (17), so it would be good to be within
walking ___________ (18) of that, or perhaps a short bus journey away. Neither of us
have a car, so we’d be relying on public ___________ (19).
M: And what’s your __________ (20)?
W: I’m sorry?
M: How much can you pay a month?
W: Let me see, er, _________(21) a month is probably our limit.
M: Each?
W: No, that would be for the both of us. We wouldn’t be able to pay more than
_________(22) each. Oh, and that would have to include bills. Not phone bills,
obviously, but things like _________ (23), gas and water.
M: Hmm, Ok, well, we do have a place in the Bampton district, which is about ten
___________ (24) by bus from town. It’s a two-bedroom apartment, and it’s less
than your budget, at _________(25) a month. Bills would be extra, unfortunately, but
that should be still work out at less than _________(26). Although remember that
electricity and gas _________ (27) are going up all the time, so I can’t guarantee that.
W: Do you have an _________ (28)?
M: I do. The apartment number is 3, and it’s at 57 Thorney Leys Road.
W: Hang on, let me just make a note of that. 57...
M: Thorney Leys Road. Thorney is T-H-O-R-N-E-Y and Leys is L-E-Y-S. And the
__________ (29) is called Bampton. Do you have an email address?
W: Yes.
M: In that case, I can send you the details, and then you can think about it. And if
you’re interested, I could __________ (30) for a visit so you can see the place for
yourself. How does that sound?
W: Oh, that would be really helpful. It’s clarice_willard@.....
