Furniture rental companies

...:

Test 3.

...:

This is the IELTS listening test.

...:

You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.

...:

There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.

...:

All the recordings will be played once only.

...:

The test is in four parts.

...:

At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

...:

Now turn to part one.

...:

Part one.

...:

You will hear a woman phoning the owner of a house she is going to rent about companies that she could rent furniture from.

...:

First, you have some time to look at questions one to five.

...:

Now listen carefully and answer questions one to five.

LANDLORD:

Good morning.

SHELLEY:

Hi, this is Shelley Meyer.

SHELLEY:

I'm renting your house on Archwood Avenue.

SHELLEY:

I'm due to move in next week.

LANDLORD:

Oh yes, hello Ms. Meyer.

LANDLORD:

What can I do for you?

SHELLEY:

When I viewed the house, I told you I'll most probably need to rent some furniture, at least until I know whether my temporary work contract is going to be made permanent.

LANDLORD:

Yes, of course, I remember.

LANDLORD:

And I said I could give you some information about furniture rental companies in the city.

SHELLEY:

That's right.

LANDLORD:

Well, the biggest company is called Peak Rentals.

LANDLORD:

I've recommended them to other people and have always heard positive reports about them.

SHELLEY:

Could you give me an idea of their costs?

LANDLORD:

Sure.

LANDLORD:

I actually have one of their brochures here.

LANDLORD:

It says the monthly price per room starts at $105 and goes up to $239.

LANDLORD:

That depends on which rooms you need furniture for, of course.

SHELLEY:

Sure.

SHELLEY:

It's just to get a general idea of how much it's going to cost.

SHELLEY:

And you said you had some positive feedback about this company?

LANDLORD:

Yes.

LANDLORD:

People have mentioned that the furniture from Peak Rentals is more modern than any of the other companies.

LANDLORD:

And also, once you place an order, the furniture will be delivered to you in just one or two days.

SHELLEY:

That would be really helpful.

LANDLORD:

Oh, and the brochure says that there's a special offer at the moment.

LANDLORD:

If you rent living room furniture, I believe that's a set of chairs and a TV table, you'll also get a lamp at no extra cost.

SHELLEY:

Okay, but you know, that price range you gave is more than I was hoping to pay.

LANDLORD:

Then you could try Aaron and Oliver.

SHELLEY:

Sorry.

SHELLEY:

What and Oliver?

LANDLORD:

Aaron.

LANDLORD:

Double A-R-O-N.

SHELLEY:

Okay.

SHELLEY:

Are they cheaper?

LANDLORD:

I'd say they're a mid-price company.

LANDLORD:

But if you chose them, you need to be aware that they charge an extra 12% every month in case of damage.

SHELLEY:

Oh, I see.

SHELLEY:

I'd have to do the math carefully then.

LANDLORD:

Right.

LANDLORD:

But one helpful thing is that they also do cleaning for customers.

SHELLEY:

For the furniture?

LANDLORD:

For the house.

SHELLEY:

Oh, I see.

SHELLEY:

I probably won't need that.

...:

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

...:

Now listen and answer questions six to ten.

LANDLORD:

There's another company called Larch Furniture.

LANDLORD:

It's quite new and it has the lowest prices in town.

LANDLORD:

That's for both furniture and also electronic equipment.

SHELLEY:

Well, that would be good.

SHELLEY:

I'm not bringing much with me and I won't have much time to go shopping after I start my job.

LANDLORD:

There are two things you need to know about Larch Furniture.

LANDLORD:

First of all, you have to take out insurance on the furniture and you need to organize that yourself.

SHELLEY:

That wouldn't be too hard.

LANDLORD:

Also, you can't take out a contract for less than six months.

LANDLORD:

But I figure that might not be a problem for you.

LANDLORD:

You're renting the house for 12 months after all, aren't you?

SHELLEY:

Yes, okay, well...

LANDLORD:

Sorry to interrupt.

LANDLORD:

I just thought of another furniture rental company.

LANDLORD:

It's called Space Rentals and it's located very near to the house.

SHELLEY:

Okay.

LANDLORD:

I don't have any information about their charges, so it's best to use their app to find out what it would cost you to use them.

SHELLEY:

Okay, thanks.

SHELLEY:

I'll do that.

LANDLORD:

One good thing about that company is that if you don't like the furniture once it's delivered, you can request exchanges, as long as you do that within a week of receiving it.

SHELLEY:

That sounds really great.

SHELLEY:

Okay, well, thanks very much.

SHELLEY:

That's so helpful.

...:

That is the end of Part 1.

...:

You now have one minute to check your answers to Part 1.

Giải thích chi tiết

Hello Dolbie 🤩

Cùng chinh phục câu hỏi này nhé 😁

🎯Xác định loại từ cần điền: Chỗ trống cần điền là một con số (tổng tiền), vì nó là giới hạn trên của phạm vi giá ("Prices range from $105 to $___").

▶️ Thông tin cần nghe ở: đoạn 02:27 - 02:35 trong audio: "It says the monthly price per room starts at $105 and goes up to $239."

☺️ Cùng xem giải thích nhé: Người chủ nhà đọc thông tin từ brochure của Peak Rentals, nói rằng giá hàng tháng cho mỗi phòng bắt đầu từ $105 và "goes up to $239". Đây chính là giới hạn trên của khoảng giá.

✅ Đáp án đúng: 239

🧐 DOLBIE lưu ý: ❌ 105 => "105" là giới hạn dưới của mức giá, không phải số cần điền vào chỗ trống cuối cùng của "Prices range from $105 to $___".

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