VOL 6 Test 6 - A Residence Survey

0:00

Interviewer: Excuse me?

Lee: Yes?

Interviewer: I was wondering if you could spare a few minutes to do a questionnaire on your residency here in the North. It won't take long.

Lee: No. That's fine.

Interviewer: Lovely. First of all, may I get some information about yourself?

Lee: Okay.

Interviewer: May I know your name and age?

Lee: My name's Lee, and I'm 19 years old now.

Interviewer: Great. And could I ask what your job is? Are you a student?

Lee: Actually, I'm going to continue my study in business management next month. 1But at the moment, I'm a salesman by profession.

Interviewer: Alright. And how long have you been living here in the North?

Lee: Well, I have been in this city since I was three years old, but my family and I had lived in the East for seven years at first. 2Now I am 19, so I have spent about 9 years living here till now.

Interviewer: Great. Which part of the Northern area do you live in?

Lee: 3I live in Spring Park. Have you heard of it?

Interviewer: Yes, of course. So what about your accommodation? Do you live in a house or a flat or something similar?

Lee: I used to live with my family in a big house, 4and now I'm living in an apartment with two of my friends, who are my colleagues as well.

Interviewer: Oh, right. And one more question. What means of transport will you take when you need to go somewhere?

Lee: If it's not too far away, I'd prefer to go on foot or by bicycle. 5If there is a long way to go, I take the train or sometimes a cab. I rarely take buses because I think the most important things to keep in mind are time and comfort.

Interviewer: Great. Thanks.

Interviewer: Now let's go to the second part of my questionnaire. I'd like you to tell me how often do you dine out? Is it once a week or several times a year?

Lee: I'm afraid neither of those options agree with me. 6I don't often go out for dinner, maybe once a month. Every week just seems too often for me.

Interviewer: Okay. Then where do you usually go for recreation?

Lee: I often go to places that other people go to. 7I sometimes go clubbing after work. You know, there are some fantastic clubs nearby.

Interviewer: And if you do not have to work during the day, will you go for a show or something?

Lee: You know, there is a newly built theatre that opened last month in Spring Park, but I rarely go there because it's too expensive. 8I prefer to go to the cinema to see some of the latest movies.

Interviewer: Do you like doing sports? And what is your main form of exercise?

Lee: I like swimming, and I go to the gym occasionally. 9But I spend most of my spare time sailing.

Interviewer: Alright. Last question. Have you taken any part time courses?

Lee: Yes. Because I'm really keen on cartoons. 10I'm doing a Japanese course during the weekends, but I'm still a beginner.

Interviewer: Wow. What a special language. Most people I know would like to learn Spanish or Latin. You must be brilliant. Well, thank you very much for your time.

Lee: No problem. Bye.
