II. Basic Listening Practice
1. Script
M: We offer all kinds of tours and excursions. DO you have anything particular in mind?
W: Not really, we’d just like to see the local sights and have an English speaking guide. It would be good if they were someone local too. My husband is interested in the local stories and folklore.
Q: What does the woman mention as one of her preferences?
2. Script
M: Are you joining a tour group when you go to Indonesia?
W: No, I’m going to backpack my way round. I like being independent and seeing things at my own pace. Besides, there’s more chance of meeting local people that way. I’ve just got to be careful.
Q: what dose the woman want?
3. Script
W: Hey, could you bring your video camera to the kids’ concert tomorrow? I’d love to capture it on film.
M: No problem. I’ll burn it to a DVD for you afterwards, then you can watch it at home.
Q: How will the woman watch the concert later in the week?
4. Script
W: I can’t find that track I really like anywhere. It’s not on CDs in any of the shops, and I really want it on a CD.
M: Well, let’s look online. Maybe we can download it, then burn it to a CD.
Q: What does the man suggest doing to get the track?
5. Script
W: Here’s a riddle: You love deep-sea finishing in Florida, and you’re crazy about skiing in Canada, but you can’t afford even one vacation home. What do you do?
M: I buy a share in two holiday homes, so I own a week or more at each place. Timesharing is the way many people afford seemingly expensive holidays.
Q: What advice does the man give for people unable to afford expensive holiday homes?
