Um, there's one in three weeks' time which is April the 18th, and then we don't have another one until June the 2nd. #4 CUSTOMER: The Paris what?

Which TWO things are included in the price of the tour? A fishing trip B guided bushwalk C reptile park entry D table tennis E tennis RECEPTIONIST: Oh, there are lots of things. If you don't want to do the whale watch cruise, your guide will take anyone who is interested either on a bushwalk through the national park near the hotel, and there's no extra charge for that, or on a fishing trip. That's an extra $12 I think. And there's also a reptile park in town - that costs more or less the same. RECEPTIONIST: Yeah. And if you just want to relax you are free to sit by the hotel pool or go down the beach. Oh, and they also have tennis courts at the hotel, but you have to pay for those by the hour. But there are table tennis tables downstairs and they're part of the accommodation package. Just speak to your guide. Questions 7-10 Complete the sentences below. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer. 7 The tour costs $ …280… 8 Bookings must be made no later than …14… days in advance. 9 A …20%… deposit is required. CUSTOMER: Well that sounds good. So how much is the basic tour price? RECEPTIONIST: At this time of year it's usually around $300 but let me check. Er… oh, it's actually $280. Q7 CUSTOMER: And the next tour, are there any places on that one? RECEPTIONIST: How many people is it for? 整理范本 . CUSTOMER: There are two of us. RECEPTIONIST: Yes, that should be fine. Can I just mention that we require all bookings to be made at least fourteen days before you travel to avoid cancellations of tours. And if you cancel within seven days of departure you will have to pay 50% of your total booking. CUSTOMER: OK. RECEPTIONIST: And you also need to pay a 20% deposit at the time of booking. 旅游场景常考单词与思路 ? Travel agency ? Tour guide ? Schedule, itinerary ? Souvenir ? Scenic spot ? Natural resort ?

Best buy . The first cot we looked at was by Baby Safe and it had several good points to recommend it. Our testers liked the fact that it had four wheels, so it was easy to move around. The only slight problems with this cot were that it had no brakes, but they didn't think that mattered too much. At first they were a bit concerned about the side bar, because they felt babies could trap their fingers in it, but our testers felt that this was unlikely to happen so they have given this one a verdict of ‘satisfactory’. The next cot was by Choice Cots and this time our testers were pleased to find a cot which is simple to put together - unlike others we looked at. On the minus side, our testers did not like the fact that the side of the cot did not drop down, making it difficult to pick up newborn babies. However, the real problem with this cot was the space between the bars; our testers found they were too wide and a baby could easily trap his head. We felt this was a real safety hazard and so we have labelled this one dangerous, I'm afraid. And finally better news for the Mother's Choice cot. This cot was slightly different in that, although the side bar did not drop down, the base could be raised or lowered into two different positions making it safe as well as convenient. The negatives for this one were quite minor; the only niggle everyone had was the fact that it has no wheels and the only other problem anyone could find, was that there were pictures which were simply stuck on and so could easily become detached. The makers have now promised to discontinue this practice. As this cot will then be safe in every way, we have made the Mother's Choice cot our best buy. Congratulations Mother's Choice! Write ONE WORD ONLY for the answer. · Metal should not be rusted or bent · Edges of cot should not be 20 …sharp… So, what features should you look for in a baby's cot? Well obviously safety is a very important factor as well as comfort and convenience. We recommend that, if you are buying a cot, do make sure that any metal present is not rusted or bent in any way. You should ensure your cot has only rounded or smooth edging without any sharp edges, this is especially important for wooden cots. 购物类 ? shopping mall, online shopping, e-commerce ? promotion: discount, coupon, voucher, buy one and get another for free ? advertisement, ads, brochure ? price: cost, a bargain, reasonable, acceptable, ridiculous ? warranty, receipt, invoice ? second-hand, flee market 5.1.3 21、Andrew has worked at the hospital for . A two years. B three years. C five years. MONICA: Well, let's see if I can help. I think each course type has its advantages and disadvantages, so it really depends on you - your own study habits, and your financial circumstances, of course. Are you working at the moment? ANDREW: Yes. I've been working in the administration section of the local hospital for the last three years. And before that I worked in the office of a computer engineering company for two years. So, I've got about five years of relevant work experience. And what I'm hoping to focus on is 整理范本 . Personnel Management. 22、During the course Andrew’s employers will pay . A his fees. B his living costs. C his salary. MONICA: Right, so you don't really want to do the full-time course, then? ANDREW: No, not really. It's also a question of finances. You see, my office have agreed to pay the cost of the course itself, but I would have to take unpaid leave if I want to study full-time and, well, I don't think I could afford to support myself with no salary for a whole year. 23、The part-time course lasts for . A one whole year. B 18 months. C two years. MONICA: OK. Well, you have two other possibilities: you could either do the part-time course - that would be over two years and you wouldn't have to take any time off work - or you could do what we call a ‘modular’ course. You could do that in eighteen months if you wanted - or longer, it's quite flexible and it would be up to you. Choose TWO letters A-E. What TWO types of coursework are required each month on the part-time course? A a case study B an essay C a survey D a short report E a study diary ANDREW: Mmm. So what does the part-time course involve? MONICA: For that you would join an evening class and have a lecture twice a week. Then, you'd have to attend a seminar or discussion workshop one weekend a month. ANDREW: What kind of coursework would I have to do? MONICA: Well, it's a mixture. You'd be expected to write an essay each month, which counts towards your final assessment. You have a case study to do by the end of the course, which might involve doing a survey or something like that, and also you need to hand in a short report every four weeks. Modular Courses Students study 26 ………… during each module. A module takes 27 ………… and the work is very 28 ………… .To get a Diploma each student has to study 29 ………… and then work on 30 ………… in depth. 26. full-time 27. one term 28. intensive 29. 2 modules 整理范本 . 30. a topic MONICA: That's where you get the opportunity to study full-time for short periods. That way you can cover a lot of coursework and attend lectures and seminars during the day. And each module lasts for one term, say, about twelve weeks at a time. There are obvious advantages in this - the main one being that you can study in a much more intensive way, which suits some people much better. ANDREW: And how many of these ‘modules’ would I have to do to get the diploma? MONICA: The current programme is two modules - and then you have to choose a topic to work in more depth - but you can base that on your job, and so you don't need to be away from the office, and how long it takes is up to you. The important thing is that you don't have to study and work.

Back in 1928 the British writer George Bernard Shaw wrote in his Intelligent Women's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism that ‘A man is supposed to understand politics, economics and finance and is therefore unwilling to accept essential instruction.’ He also said, ‘A woman, having fewer pretensions, is far more willing to learn’. Now, though these days people might question a lot of the assumptions contained in those statements, recent research does suggest that there are some quite fundamental differences between men and women in their attitudes to economic matters. 33、Women tend to save for …children’s education… and a house. 34、Men tend to save for …a car… and for retirement. Let's look at what men and women actually save for. Research studies of women in North America have found that women are far more likely to save for their children's education and they are also more likely to save up in order to buy a house one day. The same studies have found that men, on the other hand, tend to save for a car, which by the way takes a surprisingly large amount of the household budget in North America. But the other main priority for men when saving money is their 整理范本
