ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Hello, Theatre Royal Plymouth.
MR. WHITTON:
Oh, hello, I'd like to make a booking please.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Yes, what is it you want to see?
MR. WHITTON:
The imposter.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Right.
...:
The man wants to see the imposter, so imposter has been written in the space.
...:
Now we shall begin.

You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.

Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 4.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Hello, Theatre Royal Plymouth.
MR. WHITTON:
Oh, hello, I'd like to make a booking please.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Yes, what is it you want to see?
MR. WHITTON:
The imposter.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Right.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
And which day did you want to come?
MR. WHITTON:
Friday the 25th.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Just a moment and I'll check availability on the computer.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Oh, sorry, we're fully booked for that performance.
MR. WHITTON:
Oh dear.
MR. WHITTON:
What about the following day then?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
The 26th?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Yes, that's okay.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
We've got two performances on that day.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
One at 3.30 and one at 7.00. Which would you prefer?
MR. WHITTON:
Oh, the later one please.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
How many people?
MR. WHITTON:
Well, there are four of us.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Are there any concessions?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Any children?
MR. WHITTON:
I'm not sure.
MR. WHITTON:
My daughters are 15 and 12.
MR. WHITTON:
Do they get concessions?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Only the 12-year-old, I'm afraid.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
So that's one child and three adults.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Any idea where you'd like to sit?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Stalls or circle?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Tickets for the stalls are a bit more expensive.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
£12 for adults and £8.50 for children. The circle costs £10.50 and £6.50.
MR. WHITTON:
Do you get a good view from the circle?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Oh yes, and in fact we've got some seats left at the front if you'd like those.
MR. WHITTON:
Right, we'll go for those then.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Right, that's seats A21 to 24 then.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
They're very good seats.
MR. WHITTON:
That sounds fine.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
So let's see, that comes to £38 altogether for the tickets.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
How do you want to collect them?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Shall I put them in the post?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
They'd be sent today by first class mail and there'd be an additional charge of £1 to cover postage and administration.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Or do you want to get them from the box office yourself?
MR. WHITTON:
Oh yes, could you send them please?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
No problem.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
That'll be £39 altogether.
...:
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10 on page 2.
...:
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Could I just take your card details?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
What kind of card is it?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Visa?
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Switch?
MR. WHITTON:
Mastercard.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
OK, and the number?
MR. WHITTON:
It's 3290 5876 4401 2899.

2899.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
OK, and the name on the card please?
MR. WHITTON:
It's Mr J Witten.
MR. WHITTON:
W H I T T O N.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
N for never or M for mother?
MR. WHITTON:
N for never.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Thank you.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
And now I've nearly finished, but I just need your address and postcode.
MR. WHITTON:
Yes, it's 42 South Street.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
OK, is that Plymouth?
MR. WHITTON:
London.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
And the postcode?
MR. WHITTON:
It's SW2 5GE.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
That's fine then.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
The ticket should be with you tomorrow.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Is there anything else I can do for you?
MR. WHITTON:
Yes, I was wondering if I could get regular information about what's on.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Certainly, I can just add your name to our mailing list.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Would that be OK?
MR. WHITTON:
That would be very good.
MR. WHITTON:
Yes, please.
MR. WHITTON:
Oh, and there is something else, sorry.
MR. WHITTON:
One of our group is hard of hearing and I've heard that you can supply special headphones.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
That's right.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
As long as you tell us in advance, we can always do that.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
I'll book those for you now and you can just collect them from the box office before the show.
MR. WHITTON:
Thanks very much for your help.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
No problem.
ROYAL PLYMOUTH:
Thank you for calling.
MR. WHITTON:
Thank you.
MR. WHITTON:
Bye.
...:
That is the end of section one.

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

🔥 Answer key (đáp án và giải thích)

1
the 26th / 26th

Giải thích chi tiết

Hello Dolbie 🤩

Cùng chinh phục câu hỏi này nhé 😁

🎯 Xác định loại từ cần điền:

Ở trước chỗ trống là từ "Saturday" → Chỗ trống cần điền là một ngày trong tháng (Ordinal number).

▶️ Thông tin cần nghe ở: 00:02:26 → "And which day did you want to come?" "Friday the 25th." "Oh, sorry, we're fully booked for that performance." "What about the following day then?" "The 26th?" "Yes, that's okay."

☺️ Cùng xem giải thích nhé:

  • Ban đầu, khách hàng muốn đặt vé vào ngày Friday the 25th, nhưng hết chỗ.

  • Sau đó, khách hàng đề xuất ngày kế tiếp — chính là the following day.

  • Nhân viên xác nhận lại là "The 26th?", và khách đồng ý.

=> Như vậy, ngày buổi biểu diễn được đặt là ngày 26.

Đáp án đúng: the 26th

🧐 DOLBIE lưu ý: ❌ the 25th: Đây là ngày khách hàng đề xuất đầu tiên nhưng bị từ chối vì đã hết chỗ. Nếu không nghe kỹ sẽ dễ bị nhầm.

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