Oyster Bay Sailing Club Courses
WOMAN:
Hello, Oyster Bay Sailing Club. How can I help you?
MAN:
Oh, hi. I'd like to find out about sailing courses for beginners.
WOMAN:
No problem. Is it for yourself?
MAN:
Yes. I had a look online but I'm not sure which course would be best.
WOMAN:
OK. Well, you might be interested in our Taster Days.
MAN:
Possibly.
WOMAN:
So these are for people who've never sailed before.
WOMAN:
It's basically an introduction to sailing,
WOMAN:
to find out whether you enjoy it and want to carry on with it.
MAN:
And how much is that?
WOMAN:
It's £120 for the day but it's reduced to £110 each if there are two of you.
MAN:
No, it would just be me.
WOMAN:
Oh, that's fine. You'd be in a small group,
WOMAN:
usually about eight people but no more than ten, and everyone's always very friendly.
MAN:
Uh-huh. And are there any other suitable courses?
WOMAN:
The other option is the Level 1 course.
WOMAN:
These are two-day weekend courses and we run those all year round.
MAN:
OK. And what do you learn on that course?
WOMAN:
This is a mix of theory and practical skills.
WOMAN:
So you learn about things like the weather, which is obviously really important,
WOMAN:
and also the tides, as well as learning basic sailing skills.
WOMAN:
You go out into the harbour in special training dinghies for beginners,
WOMAN:
two people in each dinghy and an instructor.
WOMAN:
He or she will make sure you understand everything you need to know about safety.
MAN:
It sounds like hard work.
WOMAN:
Yes, but you'll have a lot of fun too.
MAN:
And the cost of that one is?
WOMAN:
£200, but it's a bit cheaper if you decide to join the club.
WOMAN:
There's a discount for members.
MAN:
Well, I'm not sure about that yet.
WOMAN:
You've got plenty of time to decide.
MAN:
And does the cost include everything?
WOMAN:
Yes, everything's included and you also get a really good dictionary explaining
WOMAN:
all the sailing terminology. A lot of people struggle with this at first.
WOMAN:
It's got lots of pictures, so I'm sure you'd find it really helpful.
WOMAN:
And on completion of the course, you get a certificate.
WOMAN:
Then you're ready to move on to the Level 2 course.
MAN:
Sounds good.
WOMAN:
I think that's all the info you need for now, just a couple of general things.
WOMAN:
For example, it's really important that you know how to swim.
MAN:
Yes, I'm pretty confident in the water.
WOMAN:
Great. The other thing I should tell you is that we provide wetsuits and life jackets,
WOMAN:
but you need to bring swimming trunks and some old trainers.
MAN:
And a towel?
WOMAN:
Yes, definitely. And you might want to bring your own toiletries, things like shampoo.
MAN:
OK. What about food and drink? Do I need to bring that, or is there a cafe at the club?
WOMAN:
Yes, you can get sandwiches, cakes and snacks there. The food's pretty reasonable.
MAN:
OK, good. Well, I think I'm interested in the Level 1 course,
MAN:
but I know absolutely nothing about sailing, so is there anything I can do to prepare myself a bit?
WOMAN:
I recommend you watch some videos we use for training.
WOMAN:
They're available online. I can send you the link.
WOMAN:
They'll give you an idea of what to expect.
MAN:
Perfect, thanks. That would be very helpful.
MAN:
Oh, and just one other thing. I'll be cycling to the club and will need somewhere to put valuables.
MAN:
I'm just wondering if there are lockers for people to use?
WOMAN:
Yes, there are plenty in the changing rooms.
MAN:
Great. OK, well, could...

🔥 Answer key (đáp án và giải thích)

1
10 / ten

Giải thích chi tiết

Câu hỏi: small groups (max ___ people)

🎯 Xác định loại từ cần điền:

  • Sau từ max cần một con số / số lượng người.

  • Cụm small groups cho thấy thông tin cần nghe là quy mô tối đa của nhóm học.

Đáp án đúng: 10 / ten

▶️ Bắt đầu nghe ở: câu người đàn ông nói “No, it would just be me” và ngay sau đó người phụ nữ bắt đầu giải thích về quy mô nhóm học.

☺️ Giải thích đáp án:

  • Trước khi nghe, hãy gạch chân các từ khóa small groupsmax.

  • Khi nghe, cần chú ý vì người nói sẽ thường đưa ra một số lượng trung bình trước, rồi mới nói đến giới hạn tối đa.

  • Trong bài nghe, người phụ nữ nói: “usually about eight people but no more than ten.

  • Cụm no more than có nghĩa là không quá, tương đương với ý max trong bảng.

  • Vì vậy, số người tối đa trong mỗi nhóm là 10 / ten.

🧐 Lưu ý: ❌ 8 / eight => đây chỉ là số người thường có trong nhóm (usually about eight people), không phải số lượng tối đa.
