ANNOUNCER:Part one. You will hear an interviewer who is doing a survey, asking a man some questions about shopping. First, you have some time to look at questions 1~6. Now listen carefully and answer questions 1~6.
WOMAN:Good morning. I'm doing a survey of shoppers in Broadbeach. Would you have a few minutes to spare to answer some questions?
MAN:Oh, um, yes, I guess that would be OK.
WOMAN:Thank you very much. Everybody seems so busy today.
MAN:Well, actually, I don't have loads of time, so.
WOMAN:Oh, yes, of course. It really won't take long. Could I start by taking your name please?
MAN:Martyn Leigh. Martyn's with a Y.
WOMAN:And is your family name spelled L double E?
MAN:It's LEIGH.
WOMAN:Thank you. We don't actually publish your name or details. It just makes it easier for me to identify people when I look at all the results at the end.
MAN:I see.
WOMAN:And can I ask how did you get into town today?
MAN:Well, normally I catch the bus, but I'm on my motorbike today because I'm going to work later.
WOMAN:And could you tell me what you're doing this morning? I mean the reason for your trip into town.
MAN:Well, I've just been to the hairdresser. You see, I have a job interview at the council in a few days.
WOMAN:Oh, really? Well, good luck with that.
MAN:Thanks a lot, and now I'm on my way to buy a suit that I can wear to the interview. I don't actually own one at the moment.
WOMAN:OK, is that everything you're planning to do in town?
MAN:Yeah, well, I've got to go and pick up my laptop. It broke a couple of days ago, so I took it to the shop to get it fixed. They had to order a spare part, but apparently it's ready for collection now. I can't wait to get it back. I'm sure.
WOMAN:I hate it when my technology breaks down. One more thing, it's Saturday today, is that when you like to do your shopping?
MAN:Well, it's more of a question of when I'm free. If I'm free on a Monday, that's when I choose to come into town. The shops are less busy then, which I always prefer.
ANNOUNCER:Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7~10. Now listen and answer questions 7~10.
WOMAN:So, I'd like to ask you a few more questions to get your views about shopping in Broadbeach, if that's OK?
MAN:Sure, what would you like to know specifically?
WOMAN:What would you say you like best about the shops here?
MAN:I'd probably say it's the service you get wherever you go.
WOMAN:OK, and what do you think about the range of shops in Broadbeach?
MAN:Oh, you can get almost anything you want here.
WOMAN:And what about recent changes? What do you like and dislike about them? For example, there are a lot of new coffee shops now. Are you enjoying them?
MAN:No, there are too many of them. It's a shame as those places could be occupied by other kinds of shops.
WOMAN:What would you like to see instead?
MAN:Well I think we have enough clothing shops, but there's only one place that sells books at the moment. It'd be nice to have a choice, you know?
WOMAN:Right, and have you been to the new shopping centre outside Broadbeach yet, Martyn?
MAN:Yes, once or twice. It's not that far from where I live.
WOMAN:It's a very modern looking building, isn't it?
MAN:Yes, yeah, and it's lovely. The glass roof is certainly impressive, but my favorite thing is the plants they've put around the building. They're amazing and so big already.
WOMAN:And what about the entertainment facilities? Have you used any of them yet, like the new cinema? No.
MAN:Not yet. I can't see any advantage in having it there, because the one in town is actually bigger.
WOMAN:OK, well, thank you so much for your...
ANNOUNCER:That is the end of part one. You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
