Question 1:
There’s a lorry on fire in Smith street in Bridgend town center. A lot of people have
stopped to watch and delays are building up. You’re advised to take Lodge lane instead.
On the westbound carriageway of the M4, an overturned car is blocking two lanes of
traffic before junction 32, that’s the turning for Bridgend. Police advise drivers to turn off
at junction 31 for an alternative route to avoid delays…
Question 2:
Ms.Ly TOEIC-B1- 0979546171
Hi David. It’s Susan here. It’s about meeting later on. I know we said eight o’clock at the
Crown, but it looks like I’m stuck in the office for a while we’ve got a bit of a problem so
if I don’t ring again, do you think you could come and get me at about nine?
Question 3:
This is a customer announcement. We have a range of special offers in several
departments. In our fashion department on the first floor we have a sale in men’s’
designer shirts. On the second floor in household goods, there are special offers in
kitchenware and small appliances. And in our food hall on the ground floor some
outstanding discounts on cuts of beef…
Question 4:
Residents of Newbury upon Thames whose homes were bought by the government to
make way for a planned by pass are to be offered their houses back again. Eleven families
were moved out in 1991, but now the scheme has been put on hold following government
spending cuts. Under a new law the former residents are allowed to buy back their former
houses at the price they were given on leaving.
Question 5:
Hello, this is the claims manager from Royal Solihull Insurance. I’m ringing concerning
your claim. I was hoping to arrange for one of our representatives to call and discuss your
recent burglary with you. Um.. We can’t arrange a payment until we’ve had this
discussion. Would you like to call one of our secretaries on 01214285976 and we can fix
up a time? Please don’t forget to quote the burglary reference number….
Question 6:
Police are asking old age pensioners to be on the look out for a thief who is posing as a
gas board official. The thief, who is a well-dressed young man, calls at pensioners’ homes
and tells them he is checking for gas leaks. While in the house, he steals any money he
can find. Police have issued a special message for pensioners today advising them that
gas board officials always wear a uniform and carry an official identity card.
Question 7:
Thank you for calling the Putney museum. I’m afraid all our telephonists are busy at the
moment. If you want to wait you should press 3 after the short tone and your call be
stacked. If you have an inquiry about opening times, you can hear a recorded message by
pressing 2 after the short tone. If you want to speak to a member of staff and you know
Ms.Ly TOEIC-B1- 0979546171
their extension, you can dial their number after the short tone. If you want to leave a
message, please speak after the long tone.
Question 8:
If you want to buy a house in the London area and you’re on a limited budget, where’s
the best place to look? Of course a central location is what many of us want, but houses
in the center are no bargain. If you want to move out to the leafy suburbs, you’ll also
have to have a lot of money in the bank. To my mind, the best place to start is in the
established or shall we say former suburbs. That’s where you’ll find the real bargains…
