Music Alive Agency

Jim:

Hello, Music Alive.

Jim:

How can I help you?

Woman:

Hi.

Woman:

I've just moved to the area and I saw your advert.

Woman:

I wanted to find out about your services.

Jim:

Sure.

Jim:

What would you like to know?

Woman:

Well, I've got a number of questions, if that's OK.

Woman:

Have you got a few minutes?

Jim:

Of course.

Woman:

Can I make a note of your name?

Jim:

Yes.

Jim:

I'm Jim.

Jim:

Jim Granley.

Woman:

Thanks.

Woman:

And do you represent every type of musician?

Woman:

Can you tell me a bit about that?

Jim:

Well, we're basically a networking agency for musicians, but we don't actually find you work.

Jim:

We have all our members on our database, the type of music they play, and also we can put people in touch if they want to form a band, for example.

Woman:

Is there a lot of live music here?

Jim:

Yes, and venues contact us when they need musicians, etc.

Jim:

We deal with modern music, especially rock, which is what most people seem to enjoy around here.

Jim:

But we do also represent some jazz musicians.

Jim:

We don't accept classical music, I'm afraid.

Woman:

No, that's fine.

Jim:

What do you play?

Woman:

Guitar and violin, and a bit of flute.

Woman:

As I'm new here, I thought you could help me get in touch with people.

Jim:

I see.

Jim:

Sure.

Jim:

We actually have a newsletter I could send you that would give you a good idea of what we do, and how you can benefit from joining.

Jim:

The latest one came out this week.

Jim:

Would you like me to send you a copy?

Woman:

That would be great.

Woman:

Is it weekly?

Jim:

No, every month.

Jim:

Weekly would be too much work, I think.

Woman:

Right.

Woman:

And what are the costs for joining and becoming a member?

Woman:

Is it expensive?

Woman:

I'm on a tight budget.

Jim:

You and every other musician in the region.

Jim:

No, we do everything to keep costs down, because we know what it's like.

Jim:

We're pretty much all musicians ourselves, too.

Jim:

So to join is just £35, and that's a one-off payment.

Jim:

Oh, actually, that's the discounted rate for young musicians under 18s.

Jim:

The standard rate is £45.

Woman:

Unfortunately, I'm over 18.

Woman:

And how about joining?

Woman:

Can I join when I want?

Woman:

Now, for example?

Woman:

Or do you have a limit on numbers?

Jim:

No, you can join any time.

Jim:

We don't have a limit on the numbers of members we can have.

Jim:

The more, the merrier, in fact.

Jim:

Our membership's gone up recently from 700 to 750.

Woman:

That's good.

Woman:

And your ad says you also have facilities there that musicians can use.

Woman:

Can you explain a bit about that?

Jim:

Sure.

Jim:

Well, it's not huge, but we do have a couple of rooms where you can rehearse.

Jim:

They're soundproof.

Jim:

And we've just opened a studio, a small one.

Jim:

And it's already proving popular with bands that want to send demo tapes to venues and record labels.

Woman:

Wow, that sounds brilliant.

Woman:

And is that free?

Woman:

Guess not.

Jim:

No, that's extra.

Jim:

But we do have some free services.

Jim:

For example, we can offer legal advice if you need it, for contracts and things like that.

Jim:

Pretty useful stuff, you know.

Woman:

Great.

Woman:

So if I'm interested, what's the next step?

Woman:

How do I become a member?

Jim:

Well, simple really.

Jim:

Just send us a letter with your contact details and a recording made within the last couple of months.

Jim:

That'll give other members an idea of what you play.

Woman:

And where are you based?

Jim:

We're at 707 Kippax Street, Marbury.

Woman:

How do you spell Kippax?

Jim:

It's K-I-double-P-A-X.

Woman:

And is there an email address?

Jim:

Yes, it's music.talent at bsu.co.uk.

Woman:

Talent as in the word?

Jim:

Yes.

Woman:

Right.

Woman:

Just one last thing.

🔥 Answer key (đáp án và giải thích)

database

Giải thích chi tiết

🎯 Xác định loại từ cần điền:

Sau giới từ "on" và mạo từ "a", cần một danh từ số ít (singular noun) chỉ nơi lưu trữ thông tin chi tiết của các thành viên.
Từ khóa mốc: "Members' details", "on".

▶️ Bắt đầu nghe từ: 00:02:56 - Khi Jim giải thích về bản chất của cơ quan là công ty kết nối cho nhạc sĩ (networking agency for musicians).

Jim cung cấp thông tin quan trọng về việc quản lý thành viên: "We have all our members on our database, the type of music they play..." (Chúng tôi có tất cả thành viên trên cơ sở dữ liệu của mình, loại nhạc họ chơi...).
Cụm từ "members on our database" trong bài nghe khớp với "Members' details are on a database" trong đề bài.

✅ Đáp án đúng: database.

🧐 Lưu ý:

❌ (Band): Jim có nhắc đến việc giúp mọi người lập ban nhạc, nhưng đây là kết quả của việc kết nối, không phải nơi chứa dữ liệu.
