Campervan Holiday in New Zealand

Man:

Oh, hi Jane.

Man:

We're planning a holiday next year and we're thinking of hiring a camper van.

Man:

I know you guys did that last year.

Man:

Could I ask your advice about a few things?

Jane:

Of course.

Man:

Well, I mean, first of all, we have to choose a camper van.

Man:

I've been looking online, but there are so many different models and options available.

Jane:

I know, but some of the options just aren't necessary.

Jane:

So in the kitchen, yes, you need a stove and a sink, of course, but you don't need a freezer, for example.

Man:

OK, well that's good to know.

Man:

So what else do you recommend?

Jane:

Well, what time of year are you planning on going?

Man:

Probably April.

Jane:

It can be cool then, especially in the evenings.

Man:

So get a van with a heater in it.

Jane:

Exactly.

Man:

Alright, that's good advice.

Man:

And then anything else?

Jane:

Well, we did have one problem with our van.

Jane:

The television was unreliable and I've heard other people say the same thing, but everything else was fine.

Man:

And anything else I should think about?

Jane:

Well, if the weather's fine, it's nice to be able to sit outside.

Jane:

Our van had some chairs which could be stored under the bed.

Jane:

That way we could sit out when we wanted to.

Man:

That's a nice idea.

Man:

So then, did you book your van online or what?

Jane:

We used an agent, Jonathan Simpson.

Jane:

It might be worth getting in touch with him.

Jane:

He can help you choose the right van and get a good deal.

Jane:

Do you want his number?

Jane:

I've got his card here.

Man:

Yes, please.

Jane:

So it's 0274 936 2815.

Man:

Great, thanks.

Man:

And then, in terms of actually travelling around in our camper van, what should we look out for?

Jane:

Well, the price of petrol really varies, depending where you buy it.

Jane:

The cheapest we found was $2.05 a litre.

Jane:

But we heard of people paying over $2.60 for a litre.

Jane:

We never paid that much, but in one place for us it was $2.40. And that can make a big difference to your overall costs.

Man:

Right, yeah, I hadn't thought of that.

Man:

Any other unexpected costs?

Jane:

Well, there's Campbelltown.

Jane:

It's a lovely place, but just remember it's on an island.

Man:

Oh, do you have to pay for the bridge or something?

Jane:

There isn't one, that's the point.

Jane:

Just the ferry.

Jane:

And they charge a lot for a camper van.

Man:

Oh, right.

Man:

So then, in general terms, how far do you think we should aim to drive in a day?

Jane:

Well, the roads are good.

Jane:

I mean, some people drive 500km in a day, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Man:

So, what, maybe no more than 350?

Jane:

Still too tiring.

Jane:

I'd say 275 as the upper limit.

Man:

OK, I guess the kids will get bored if we go any further.

Jane:

Definitely.

Jane:

You want to get out of the van as much as possible.

Jane:

Which reminds me, try and get a van with a rack on the roof.

Man:

Why's that?

Jane:

You can rent bikes when you get there.

Jane:

They can go on top of the van when you're driving.

Jane:

Then use them to explore local areas.

Man:

That's a good idea.

Man:

OK, so what are some of the places we should go to?

Man:

Any campsites you'd recommend?

Jane:

Our favourites were the Kia Holiday Parks.

Jane:

They have all the usual facilities.

Man:

Like a laundry and so on.

Jane:

Exactly.

Jane:

But they also provide a gym for guests to use.

Jane:

It's a great way to relax at the end of the day.

Man:

Nice.

Jane:

And there's Jack's Point.

Jane:

That's a great campground.

Man:

Oh, is that the one you see in all the photos next to the really spectacular lake?

Jane:

That's right.

Man:

OK, we'll be sure to go there.

Jane:

Yeah, not to be missed.

Jane:

Then, something that's less well-known is at Martin.

Jane:

We found it quite by chance and I think your children would love it.

Jane:

In the park there are all these puzzles kids can work on.

Jane:

They're really imaginative and will keep the kids busy for hours.

Man:

That sounds interesting.

Man:

I've made a note of that.

Man:

Then I also read about a craft market.

Man:

I think it was at a place called Rayne something.

Man:

Is that right?

Jane:

Yeah, Raynewode.

Jane:

It's definitely worth a visit.

Jane:

You spell that R-A-Y-N-E-W-O-D-E.

Man:

Great. And then one other thing I'd just like to add...

🔥 Answer key (đáp án và giải thích)

freezer

Giải thích chi tiết

Hello Dolbie 🤩 Cùng chinh phục câu hỏi này nhé 😁

🎯 Xác định loại từ cần điền: → Ta cần điền một danh từ chỉ đồ vật trong nhà bếp — thứ không cần thiết phải có trong xe campervan.

▶️ Thông tin cần nghe ở: → Khi Jane bắt đầu nói về các thiết bị trong khu vực kitchen, và cô ấy nói rõ một thứ không cần thiết:

“...you need a stove and a sink, of course, but you don’t need a freezer, for example.”

☺️ Cùng xem giải thích nhé: Jane liệt kê một số thiết bị cần thiết như bếp (stove) và bồn rửa (sink). Sau đó cô ấy nói rõ "you don’t need a freezer", tức là freezer là không cần thiết.

Từ “freezer” trong bài nghe chính là đáp án cần điền vì nó được đặt sau mệnh đề phủ định “you don’t need…”

✅ Đáp án đúng: freezer

🧐 DOLBIE lưu ý:

❌ stove => Đây là thiết bị cần có, Jane nói rõ là “you need a stove…”

❌ sink => Tương tự, Jane cũng nói sink là cần thiết.

Chúc Dolbie học tốt và tự tin hơn trong bài thi IELTS nha 🥳💪
