Audio Transcript:

You will hear a telephone conversation between a passenger and an official at the land transport information service at Toronto airport. First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.

You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.

Official: Hello, this is land transport information at Toronto airport. How may I help you?

Passenger: Aah! Good morning. I'm flying to Toronto airport next week and I need to get to a town called Milton. Could you tell me how I can get there?

Official: Milton, did you say? let me see. I think that's about a hundred and fifty miles southwest of here. In fact, it's 147 miles to be exact. So it'll take you at least say, 3 to 4 hours by road.

The distance from the airport to Milton is 147 miles. So “147” has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.

Official: Hello, this is land transport information at Toronto airport. How may I help you?

Passenger: Aah! Good morning. I'm flying to Toronto airport next week and I need to get to a town called Milton. Could you tell me how I can get there?

Official: Milton, did you say? let me see. I think that's about a hundred and fifty miles southwest of here. In fact, it's 147 miles to be exact. So it'll take you at least say, 3 to 4 hours by road.

Passenger: Wow. Is it as far as that?

Official: Yes, I'm afraid so. But you have a number of options to get you there and you can always rent a car right here at the airport. Of course.

Passenger: Right. Well, I don't really want to drive myself. So I'd like more information about public transport.

Official: Okay. In that case the quickest and most comfortable is a cab. And of course there are always plenty available, but it'll cost you. You can also take a Greyhound bus or there's an airport shuttle service to Milton.

Passenger: I think for that kind of distance, a cab would be way beyond my budget, but the best sounds okay. Can you tell me how much that would cost?

Official: Sure. Let's see.. That one be $15 one way or 27 50 return. That's on the Greyhound.

Passenger: aah! That's quite cheap. Great. Whereabouts does it stop in Milton?

Official: It goes directly from the airport, here to the city centre and it's pretty fast, but you have to bear in mind that there is only one departure, a day. So it depends, what time your flight gets in.

Passenger: Of course. Hang on. I would be due to get there at 11:30 a.m.

Official: Too bad. The bus leaves at 3:45 so you would have quite a way. More than four hours.

Passenger: I see. Well, what about the shuttle you mentioned?

Official: Okay, that's the airport shuttle that will take you from the airport right to your hotel or private address. It's a door-to-door service and it would suit you much better because there's one every two hours.

Passenger: So how much does that cost?

Official: Let's see. Yeah, that's $35 one-way, $65 return. So I guess it's a bit more expensive than the Greyhound.

Passenger: Well, that doesn't sound too bad. Especially if it'll take me straight to the hotel.

Official: But you do need to reserve a seat.

Passenger: Okay. Is it possible to make a booking right now, through you?

Official: Sure.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.

Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.

Official: Okay, I just have to fill this form out for you. So what day, do you want to book this for?

Passenger: The 16th of October. Oh, no. Sorry. That's my departure day. I arrived on the 17th so book it for then, please.

Official: So that's the Toronto airport shuttle to Milton and this is for just one person or?

Passenger: yeah, yeah, just me please.

Official: Right and you said your expected time of arrival was 11:30. So if I booked your shuttle for after 12, let's say 12:30. That should give you plenty of time to, you know, collect your baggage, maybe grab a coffee.

Passenger: Yeah, that sounds fine. As long as we land on time.

Official: Well, we'll take your flight details. So you don't need to worry too much about that. Now, what about the fare? What sort of ticket do you want one way or?

Passenger: Yeah... that'll be fine provided,I can book the return trip once on there.

Official: No problem. Just allow it, couple of days in advance to make sure you get a seat and what is your name, please?

Passenger: Janet. Janet Thomson.

Official: Is that Thompson spelled with a p

Passenger: No. It's T-H-O-M-S-O-N.

Official: Okay, and you'll be coming from the UK? What flight will you be traveling on?

Passenger: Its Air Canada, flight number ATC 936 from London Heathrow.

Official: Right. Now, do you know where you'll be staying? We need to give the driver an address.

Passenger: Yes. It's called the Vacation Motel. And, I think it's near the Town Center. Anyway, the address is 24 Kitchener Street. That's K-I-T-C-H-E-N-E-R street.

Official: That's fine. Right. So that's $35 to pay, please. Have you got your credit card number there?

Passenger: Yes. It's a visa card. And the number is 3303 8450 2045 6837.

Official: Okay. Well, it seems to be everything. Have a good trip and we'll see you in Toronto next week.

Passenger: Yes. Bye. Oh, thanks for your help.
