TAPESCRIPTS

UNIT 1

PART 1

You are going to hear a woman who works as a tour guide talking about her work. For questions 1-9, complete the sentences. You will hear the recording twice.

Hello. My name‘s Natalie and I‘m going to tell you a few things about my job. I‘m an Australian tour guide and I spend most of my time taking groups of Australian tourists around Europe; England and Italy mostly, but sometimes France and Germany too.

It surprises people when I tell them how little experience I had when I first started in this job. Well, you know, obviously, languages are useful, but while knowing some history does help, it‘s not crucial. And that‘s because you are trained out on the road for seven weeks before you begin. Well, I‘d done a two-week European trip as a tourist the year before starting, so that was a great help.

Yes, there‘s a lot of competition for these jobs in Australia. I‘d worked in a travel agency there, and also done a summer in the Maldives working for a holiday company, but I still had to go through quite a complicated recruitment procedure before getting this job. The application form alone was quite demanding, they asked all sorts of questions, and I wasn‘t at all sure that I‘d put down the right things. Anyway, I did get through to the interview stage. You have a formal interview and then you have to stand up in front of a group of people and give a talk; they want to see how you are likely to perform in the actual situation, because it‘s no good being shy or too timid. Anyway, both these bits went well, because I‘m quite confident really, on the whole.

And the company‘s right to be choosy, because to be a good travel guide, you‘ve got to have genuine interest not only in the travel, but also in the people. The tours range from ten to forty-six days in length and you are with that coach load of fifty people all the time. You are never really off duty because you‘re responsible for making sure all the arrangements go smoothly; keeping everyone happy.

309

And it‘s the love of traveling rather than the pay that attracts people to the job. While you‘re away, obviously all your expenses are paid and, in my company, you get a weekly payment of up to $150, depending on your experience. Some other companies have contracts which offer bonuses of $50 per trip, if the feedback forms the customers fill in are positive, but that‘s not always fair, because you do get difficult customers and you can‘t always please everybody.

But there‘s a lot of job satisfaction if things go well and this more than makes up for the demanding schedule. Because the work is seasonal, you don‘t have much of a break between trips. And often the hardest thing is finishing a trip, saying goodbye to people you‘ve just getting to know, and then having to turn round and welcome another group. Now, if you‘re anything you‘d like to ask…

PART 2

You will hear five short extracts in which various people are talking about holidays where they studied as a group. You will hear the recording twice. While you listen, you must complete both tasks.

Task one: for questions 10-14, match the extracts as you hear them with what was studied on each course, listed A-H.

Task two: for questions 15-19, match the extracts as you hear them with the comment each person makes about their course, listed A-H.

Speaker One

I have an old-fashioned belief in life-long self improvement. I also have that need for tutorial guidance which is so typical of musicians. So, the idea of a holiday where you lock yourself up in the country with a group of like-minded people to learn a new skill it really appealed to me. There were about a dozen of us, all ages and backgrounds seemed to be represented, which was brilliant, and we sat learning our lines all day.

Then after dinner, what we‘d prepared would be performed and discussed.

It was hilarious and afterwards we all kept in touch and swapped photos, so I‘ve got lots of memories to look back on.
