❓ Transcript

Ferry to Shetland Islands

...:

Part 1.

...:

You will hear a woman asking a friend for advice on travelling by ferry to an island in Scotland.

...:

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 4.

...:

Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.

Tammy:

You know, when you went to the Shetland Islands last year, Paul, did you go by ferry or did you fly?

Paul:

We went by ferry, Tammy.

Paul:

I prefer driving to flying.

Paul:

The journey feels like part of the holiday.

Tammy:

Which ferry company did you use?

Paul:

There's only one.

Paul:

It's called Northern Ferries.

Paul:

The ferries all leave from Aberdeen.

Tammy:

How frequent are they?

Paul:

The service is pretty limited.

Paul:

There's only one ferry leaving every evening in summer anyway, seven days a week.

Paul:

I'm not sure about the winter months.

Paul:

They may only run on four or five days then.

Tammy:

OK, so it's an overnight trip.

Tammy:

I quite like that idea, leaving at night and waking up as you arrive on the island.

Tammy:

Can you remember how much you paid for your tickets?

Paul:

They were really cheap and four people and a car worked out at just under £250.

Tammy:

Really?

Tammy:

I was expecting it to be more like £400 during the peak season.

Paul:

So was I.

Paul:

It's great value.

Paul:

It's a good idea to book in advance because I think they get booked up quite quickly, especially during the school holidays.

Tammy:

Yes, I suppose so.

Tammy:

I'm just not 100% sure of our plans yet.

Tammy:

What if I had to cancel?

Paul:

That could be a problem.

Paul:

I don't think it's their policy to give refunds, just a voucher, which you can use at a later date.

Paul:

But you have to cancel a month in advance to get that.

Tammy:

Right.

Tammy:

Well, we need to make up our minds quickly then.

...:

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions five to ten.

...:

Now listen and answer questions five to ten.

Paul:

You'd want to book a cabin too.

Paul:

We booked too late to get a cabin with a window.

Paul:

They're more expensive but much nicer than the inner cabins.

Paul:

You don't have to book a cabin at all, but I think it's worth paying for.

Paul:

They also have luxury cabins, which are only for two people and have a TV, but I wouldn't bother with those.

Tammy:

No, I agree.

Paul:

The only other thing I can think of is to make sure you bring snacks for the kids.

Paul:

The selection on board is quite limited and not that healthy either.

Tammy:

What about Wi-Fi on board?

Tammy:

Is that any good?

Paul:

Not really, so it's best to bring some books for them.

Tammy:

OK.

Tammy:

We may need to bring the dog if I can't get anyone to look after him.

Paul:

We brought ours and it was fine.

Paul:

The kennels on board are OK.

Paul:

They're quite big.

Paul:

You just need to provide a blanket.

Tammy:

Sounds good.

Paul:

It was all very easy, really, and it was quite an adventure for the kids.

Paul:

They loved being on the sea at night and in the morning keeping a lookout for dolphins.

Paul:

We saw loads.

Tammy:

Oh, the kids would love that.

Paul:

One other thing.

Paul:

We arrived in Aberdeen hours before the ferry was due to leave, so we decided to go somewhere else rather than hang around at the port for so long.

Tammy:

Where did you go?

Paul:

Drum Castle.

Tammy:

I've never heard of it.

Tammy:

Is that spelt like the instrument?

Paul:

Yeah.

Paul:

It's really worth visiting.

Paul:

It's got an impressive tower and beautiful gardens and ancient woodland.

Tammy:

Sounds lovely.

Tammy:

Does it have a restaurant?

Paul:

It's only got a coffee shop, no restaurant.

Paul:

We looked up restaurants in the area and found an Italian one in a village nearby.

Paul:

I can check the name of it for you if you're interested.

Tammy:

Oh, thanks Paul.

Tammy:

That would be great.

...:

That is the end of part one.

...:

You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
