TEST 1

Part One. Questions 1 to 12

You will hear three telephone conversations or messages.

Write one or two words or a number in the numbered spaces on the notes or forms below. After you have listened once, replay each recording.

Conversation One. Questions 1 to 4 Look at the form below.

You will hear a man asking a colleague for information about a former employee. You have 15 seconds to read through the form. [Pause]

Now listen, and fill in the spaces.

Woman: Personnel… Man: Hello, it's Tim here, from Finance. Woman: Hi, Tim. Man: I've had a letter from the tax office about a student who worked here last summer – I

wonder if you could look him up in your records.

Woman: Sure, what's the name? Man: The surname's Jaye. First name Stephen. Woman: How does he spell his surname? Man: J-A-Y-E. Got that?

Woman: Oh yes, here we are… lives at a hundred and eighty-three School Road, Barnfield… Man: Yes, that's the one.

Woman: And you say he was working in Finance? Man: Uhm, Customer Services, actually.

Woman: Aah - they had lots of students working for them last summer. Man: Well, the tax people want to know his exact job title - I'm not sure why. Woman: Mm,

let me see... He was an office assistant.

Man: Right, got that. They also want to know about his monthly earnings. Woman: Let's

have a look... five hundred and thirty-eight pounds seventy a month... Oh,sorry, he was a scale one, so that's four hundred and fifty-seven pounds sixty. Anything else? Man: That's fine, thanks. I'll send them the information today...

[Pause]

Now listen to the recording again. [Pause]

Conversation Two. Questions 5 to 8. Look at the note below.

You will hear a man describing a problem with an order. You have 15 seconds to read through the note. [Pause]

Now listen, and fill in the spaces.

Woman: Hello, Blackwell Printers. Julie Davidson speaking. How may I help you? Man: Hello. This is Mark Jones from Europe Holidays. I was hoping to speak to Steven

Kirby about the stationery you're printing for us.

Woman: I'm afraid Steven's away until Friday. Man: Oh - you see I'm not very happy with the business cards and I wanted to see if I could

make a couple of changes to the paper too.

Woman: Would you like me to pass on a message? Man: Yes, please. The thing is, I've just received your proofs - the cards themselves are fine,

but you seem to have misunderstood the quantities. I'm sure I asked for five hundred for each of the marketing executives and seven hundred and fifty for me but you've put everyone down for seven hundred and fifty.

Woman: Right, I've made a note of that. Is there anything else? Man: Yes, well this is my mistake really. Could you ask Steven to move the company logo

further to the left? It's too close to the address at the moment. I think that's all for now. Thanks.

[Pause]

Now listen to the recording again. [Pause]

Conversation Three. Questions 9 to 12. Look at the notes below.

You will hear a woman making the arrangements for a delegation who are going to visit her company.

You have 15 seconds to read through the notes. [Pause]

Now listen, and fill in the spaces.

Woman: Geoff? Man: Yes?

Woman: I just want to finalise the preparations for the delegation next week. Man: Certainly. It's Thursday, isn't it?

Woman: Yes. Now, can you make sure that each of them gets a name badge and an information

pack. The badges are done, but you'll need to prepare the packs with all the relevant information.

Man: Ok, that shouldn't take too long. What about catering?

Woman: Coffee's organised for eleven and three, but lunch - it's at one - we need to reserve it

for twelve people... The office restaurant is closed next week... can you ring the Park Hotel? The Grand Hotel was a bit disappointing last time.

Man: I'll get onto that.

Woman: Now, they'll be coming straight from the station, and their taxi will bring them to the

front gate, so make sure you're there to greet them. That'll be about ten.

Man: Ten. And then...

Woman: Into Reception, I think. Make sure the new designs are on display, I want them to see

those first.

Man: OK.

Woman: Let me know when it's all finalised. Bye. [Pause]

Now listen to the recording again. [Pause]

That is the end of Part One. You now have 20 seconds to check your answers. [Pause]

Part Two. Questions 13 to 22.

Section One.

Questions 13 to 17.

You will hear five short recordings .For each recording, decide which type of document the speaker is talking about.

Write one letter (A-H) next to the number of the recording. Do not use any letter more than once.

After you have listened once, replay the recordings. You have 15 seconds to read the list A-H. [Pause]

Now listen, and decide which type of document each speaker is talking about. [Pause]

Thirteen

Woman: Well no wonder the bank's returned it unpaid. Look, the figures don't match the

amount in words. I expect someone was filling it in in too much of a hurry. Let's see, we'd better issue another one straight away to pay Mrs Burton, because it'll be another three weeks if we wait for the next cycle of payments. Her expenses on that sales trip were pretty high, and it wouldn't be fair to keep her waiting much longer.

[Pause]

Fourteen Man: Some of the suppliers are already asking about the increases. I'll check, but I seem to

remember from last week's meeting that in the end we agreed on three per cent. So what I'll do is go down each column and calculate the new amounts, and then it can be printed in time to be inserted into the new brochures. Can you check the figures for me, though, before it goes to the printers?

[Pause]

Fifteen Woman: We've just received the paperwork from you about cleaning our premises, and I

have to say that it doesn't reflect what we agreed in our conversation last week. For one thing, it says that we have to supply our security code, and for another it specifies monthly payment in advance, and I told you both of those were out of the question. I'm afraid I really can't sign this. Could you send me a revised one?

[Pause]

Sixteen Man: Of course, this only gives a very general picture. But as you can see, cash is a

particularly healthy area. That's even when we take into account regular outgoings on loans and leasing equipment, which are included in the final totals. And even more significantly, unpaid orders are actually excluded from the final calculation. These represent a sum of approximately thirty thousand pounds. With that in mind, we can say that the company's overall position is still strong.

[Pause]

Seventeen

Woman: I've just asked the Arden Conference Centre about availability for our next training

seminar, and they said they still haven't been paid for the one before last, which should have been dealt with six months ago. I've had to ask them to send a duplicate!

We really must be careful. Arden give us very favourable prices, but we haven't got a contract with them - Can you deal with it straight away so we stay in their good books?

[Pause]

Now listen to the recordings again. [Pause]

Section Two.

Questions 18 to 22.

You will bear another five recordings.

For each recording, decide what the speaker's purpose is. Write one letter (A-H) next to the number of the recording. Do not use any letter more than once.

After you have listened once, replay the recordings. You have 15 seconds to read the list A-H. [Pause]

Now listen, and decide what each speaker's purpose is. [Pause]

Eighteen Man: Hello. This is Guy Cooper from Centron Electronics here. I believe you rang for some

advice about your alarm system, which isn't functioning properly. The message I got said you weren't sure if you needed someone to come and sort it out, or if we could advise you over the phone. Well perhaps you'd like to get back to me as soon as it's convenient and tell me exactly what the problem is, and I'll see what I can do.

[Pause]

Nineteen

Woman: Well, as you say, Redlon has been supplying us for years but, quite honestly,

two-thirds of the complaints we receive about our products are actually due to faults in components we've had from Redlon. So I talked to the Production Manager and he agreed that I should look at some alternatives. Future World's range is fine for us, and one of their customers who I spoke to recommended them highly, so that's why we've changed to using them.

[Pause]

Twenty

Woman: The competition's getting tougher, and you know we're facing serious problems. We

need to see more benefit from the undeniably hard work we're putting in, and this means saying no to jobs which aren't profitable. It would be much more beneficial to put all our efforts into winning higher-margin contracts. So the way I feel you can help most is by identifying the types of contacts which will bring in the income we need in order to ensure our future.

[Pause]

Twenty-one Man: John Woods here, phoning about the project we discussed earlier. Could you give me

a ring so that we can talk about it a bit more? I've done a few calculations and I'm beginning to wonder whether it's really a practical proposition. I still think the project's got potential, but there are significant additional costs which we hadn't taken into account. So could you get back to me as soon as you can, please?
