S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on
0:04
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
what you hear.
0:05
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and
0:09
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
you will have a chance to check your work.
0:11
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
All the recordings will be played once only.
0:15
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
The test is in four sections.
0:17
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
At the end of the test you will be given ten minutes
0:21
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
0:25
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Now turn to section one.
0:28
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
Section one.
0:31
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
You will hear a conversation between a commercial property letting agent
0:36
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
and a businessman who wants to move his business to new premises.
0:40
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
First,
0:42
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
0:44
S…
Speaker 5 (t2)
You
1:05
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
1:08
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
On this occasion,
1:10
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
only the conversation relating to this will be played first.
1:16
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
Ah,
1:17
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
good morning.
1:18
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
Mr.
1:18
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Rich, isn't it?
1:19
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
That's right.
1:20
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Raymond Rich of ICT Industries.
1:23
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
ICT Industries.
1:26
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Just a moment while I put that on the form.
1:29
S…
Speaker 5 (t2)
Mr.
1:31
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Rich said that the name of his company was ICT Industries.
1:36
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
So ICT Industries is written in
1:40
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
the space.
1:40
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Now we shall begin.
1:43
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
You should answer the questions as you listen,
1:46
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
because you will not hear the recording a second time.
1:49
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Listen carefully and answer questions one to
1:53
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
six.
1:54
S…
Speaker 5 (t2)
Ah,
1:56
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
good morning,
1:57
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
Mr.
1:58
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Rich, isn't it?
1:59
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
That's right.
2:00
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Raymond Rich of ICT Industries.
2:03
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
ICT Industries.
2:05
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Just a moment while I put that on the form.
2:09
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
Now,
2:10
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
you're looking for new office space,
2:12
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
is that right?
2:14
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
yes our present lease is due to expire soon and
2:18
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
as the company is expanding anyway we need to find somewhere to
2:22
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
move to do you prefer the suburbs the city or
2:27
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
a commercial zone on the outskirts
2:30
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
Well,
2:30
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
currently we're in a very pleasant suburb,
2:34
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
but as I said,
2:35
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
we've outgrown that building as we've got to move anyway.
2:39
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
I think the city centre is where we want to be,
2:42
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
right in the heart of things.
2:44
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
I see.
2:45
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Anywhere in particular?
2:46
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
Yes,
2:48
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
somewhere in the vicinity of the main transport centre,
2:52
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
because I have a large staff and car parking in the
2:56
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
city is terribly expensive.
2:58
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
i think it would be a good idea if we didn't use our cars at all
3:02
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
exactly what size premises are you looking for good
3:06
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
question something more than the ten thousand square metres
3:11
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
we have at present should do it
3:13
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Shall we say 12 ,000 square metres?
3:16
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
That's probably about right.
3:19
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
Yes,
3:20
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
I think that would meet our needs.
3:22
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Just how many employees do you have to accommodate?
3:25
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
40 in all,
3:27
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
but only 14 will have their own offices.
3:30
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
The rest will be in open plan shared offices.
3:34
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Oh, I forgot to ask.
3:36
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Do any of your employees have extra requirements?
3:39
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Will we need to consider people with disabilities?
3:42
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Yes.
3:43
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
Actually,
3:44
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
there is one in a wheelchair who'll need suitable access and
3:49
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
another who can walk just a few paces.
3:51
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
She uses a mobility scooter,
3:54
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
so we'd need to make sure all facilities,
3:56
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
especially toilet facilities,
3:59
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
were suitable and accessible.
4:01
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
and we'd also need to be either on the ground floor or
4:05
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
to find a secure place by the lifts for Mrs Jackson to park
4:09
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
her scooter.
4:10
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
I'll need to keep that in mind when I come up with the property for you to look
4:14
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
at. Now,
4:15
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
when are you thinking of moving?
4:17
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
Well,
4:19
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
our current lease expires in August,
4:21
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
so we'd like to have the move completed by then,
4:25
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
of course.
4:26
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Well, there is a very suitable property that I have in mind here
4:31
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
in the city,
4:32
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
but the owners want a lease signed by the end of this month,
4:36
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
May.
4:36
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
Oh,
4:37
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
too early,
4:39
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
I'm afraid.
4:39
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
I'd be ready to sign up by the end of June,
4:42
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
though. Shall we say signed up by the 1st of July
4:46
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
and moved by the end of that month?
4:49
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
Definitely.
4:53
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Before you hear the rest of the conversation,
4:55
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.
4:59
S…
Speaker 5 (t2)
Now
5:19
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
5:23
S…
Speaker 5 (t2)
Well,
5:26
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
I'll keep your requirements in mind and let you know when something comes
5:30
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
up.
5:30
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Wait a minute.
5:31
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
There is a vacant office space on the 10th floor of this very building.
5:36
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Would you care to take a look?
5:38
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
It has only just become available,
5:40
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
but I haven't started marketing it yet because it's in need of
5:44
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
a bit of a makeover.
5:45
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
The floor area is about the right size.
5:49
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
Good.
5:50
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Let's see it then.
5:51
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
Well,
5:52
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
what do you think?
5:54
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Elevator access is great and the lobby area
5:58
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
is roomy enough for that disability vehicle you were telling me about.
6:02
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
Oh.
6:03
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
I don't know.
6:05
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
There are too many small offices.
6:07
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Would we be able to take out a few of these walls and
6:11
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
make bigger work areas?
6:12
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
I don't see why not.
6:14
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Most of them are just partitions.
6:16
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Obviously load -bearing walls can't be touched,
6:20
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
but there aren't many of those to worry about.
6:22
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
What about kitchen and dining facilities?
6:27
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
We like our staff to feel comfortable eating at work.
6:30
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
If they go out for lunch,
6:32
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
it often leads to extended lunch hours and lost time.
6:36
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Come this way.
6:38
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
This is the kitchen.
6:39
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
Ooh,
6:40
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
it's a bit pokey.
6:42
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
We'd need to enlarge it somehow.
6:44
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
What's behind the wall here?
6:46
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
There's just a storeroom.
6:48
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
You could take out that wall and expand into that space.
6:53
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Then what would we do for a storeroom?
6:56
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
Ah, well,
6:57
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
see that tiny office near the entrance?
7:00
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
It has no external windows or natural light.
7:03
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
It would make an ideal storeroom.
7:05
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
Yes,
7:06
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
you're right.
7:07
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
The whole place is a bit dilapidated.
7:10
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Obviously in need of that redecoration you were talking about.
7:14
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
And I don't just mean a coat of new paint.
7:17
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
I think all the light fittings would have to be modernised.
7:21
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
those broken blinds have to be replaced and this old blue
7:25
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
carpet definitely has to go i agree that's something we
7:29
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
can negotiate with the owner but overall do you
7:33
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
think it would fit your requirements well you haven't
7:37
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
given me any indication of what the lease would cost
7:40
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
But before we get into that,
7:42
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
what are the terms of the lease concerning length of tenancy?
7:46
S…
Speaker 2 (t2)
Well,
7:47
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
generally in the city,
7:49
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
leases are never less than three years.
7:51
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
Oh?
7:52
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
I mean,
7:53
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
we don't mind signing up for that period of time initially,
7:56
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
but we don't necessarily want to have to move after that.
8:00
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
We've been in our last place for ten years,
8:03
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
you know.
8:04
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Well, the usual agreement is a three by three by
8:08
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
two.
8:08
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
That's a contract for three years with entitlement to extension
8:13
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
for three years and then another two years after that.
8:17
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
But let me speak to the owner first.
8:19
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
And one more thing.
8:23
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
We have to consider the time frame.
8:26
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
Remember, my current lease is due to expire in August.
8:30
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
Well,
8:31
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
with reliable contractors,
8:33
S…
Speaker 1 (t2)
it shouldn't take more than a couple of months to do the necessary refit.
8:37
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
That is the end of Section
8:41
S…
Speaker 4 (t2)
1.
8:42
S…
Speaker 3 (t2)
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
