❓ Transcript

Manor Farm

Woman:

Manor Farm.

Woman:

Hello.

Ben:

Hi there.

Ben:

I'd like to apply to do fruit picking this summer.

Woman:

Oh, hello.

Woman:

I'm Mrs. Chandler.

Woman:

My husband and I own Manor Farm.

Woman:

Let me take some details.

Woman:

I'll just get a form to fill in.

Woman:

Hold on.

Ben:

Sure.

Woman:

Sorry.

Woman:

Right.

Woman:

Your name is...

Ben:

It's Ben Miller.

Woman:

And where are you from?

Ben:

I'm from the USA.

Woman:

Fine.

Woman:

Mmm, can I ask your age?

Ben:

I'm 20.

Ben:

You only take people over the age of 16, don't you?

Woman:

Yes, that's right.

Woman:

Are you able to work in the UK?

Ben:

Sorry?

Woman:

I mean, do you have a visa?

Ben:

Oh, yeah.

Ben:

I have a thing called a blue card.

Ben:

It's valid until November.

Woman:

That's fine, then.

Woman:

We'll need fruit pickers from the middle of June until the end of September.

Woman:

What's your availability?

Ben:

When can I work?

Ben:

Mmm, I'd like to do July, August and September, and could do October if there's any work then.

Woman:

Okay.

Woman:

Did you find out about us through our website?

Ben:

That's right.

Ben:

It's much easier than going through an agency.

Ben:

I see you need most pickers in September for apples and pears, but the whole picking season can last about 16 weeks.

Woman:

Well, yes, but it's a question of the weather.

Woman:

That determines how much fruit we grow, of course.

Woman:

That's why I can't give you exact picking dates now.

Ben:

I see.

Ben:

Oh, well, no problem.

Ben:

Can you tell me what pickers earn?

Woman:

Well, that depends on age.

Woman:

The rate is £4.50 an hour for the under-18s, but as you're over 18, it would rise to £5.60 an hour.

Ben:

Uh-huh.

Ben:

Your website says that you don't provide accommodation for pickers, so I guess I should arrange that in advance.

Woman:

Yes.

Woman:

There is no accommodation on the farm, but there is a campsite about 15 minutes away.

Ben:

Is that walking distance?

Ben:

What do you think?

Ben:

No, maybe I should bring my bike to get around.

Woman:

Yes, we always recommend that.

Woman:

Some pickers bring a car, but then find the roads rather narrow, and the bus is very infrequent.

Woman:

Do you have any questions?

Ben:

I know that fruit picking is hard work, but is there anything special I need to bring with me?

Woman:

Well, firstly, documentation is extremely important.

Woman:

We will need proof of age, so we'll expect to see your passport.

Woman:

Pickers without one won't be allowed to work.

Ben:

Oh, even if their age is written on their driving license?

Woman:

Sorry, a driving license isn't suitable.

Ben:

Fair enough.

Ben:

I guess some lunch is provided for all the hungry fruit pickers.

Woman:

I'm afraid not.

Woman:

You'll need to bring your own food for lunch, and more importantly, enough water to last a full day.

Woman:

It can get very hot, so drinking is vital.

Ben:

Right, like back home.

Ben:

Okay, well, thanks for all the information.

Ben:

What happens now?

Woman:

Well, I'll post a contract to you...

🔥 Answer key (đáp án và giải thích)

blue card

Giải thích chi tiết

❓ Câu hỏi: Visa type: a _______

🎯 Xác định loại từ cần điền:

Sau câu hỏi “do you have a visa?” cần điền tên một loại giấy tờ/visa (một danh từ/cụm danh từ số ít).
Thông tin cần nghe là loại giấy tờ chứng minh Ben được phép làm việc ở Anh.

✅ Đáp án đúng: blue card

▶️ Bắt đầu nghe ở: đoạn người phụ nữ hỏi về khả năng làm việc ở UK, đặc biệt là câu “I mean, do you have a visa?”

☺️ Giải thích đáp án:

Đọc câu hỏi và chốt keyword: visa / able to work in the UK ⇒ chắc chắn cần tên giấy tờ.
Trong bài nghe, ngay sau câu hỏi “do you have a visa?”, Ben trả lời: “I have a thing called a blue card.”
Cụm a thing called báo hiệu tên chính xác của loại giấy tờ sẽ xuất hiện ngay sau đó.
Vì vậy, điền blue card là đúng.

🧐 Lưu ý: ❌ July => là thông tin về thời gian Ben muốn làm việc (availability), không phải giấy tờ/visa. ❌ website => là nơi Ben tìm thông tin về trang trại, không liên quan đến visa/giấy tờ.
