MAN
Good morning.Can I help you?
WOMAN
Yes.I've just been accepted on a course at the university and I'd like to try and arrange accommodation in the hall of residence.
MAN
Yes, certainly. Please sit down. What I'll do is fill in a form with you to find out a little more about your preferences and so forth.Q1
WOMAN
Thank you.
MAN
So first of all, can I take your name?
WOMAN
It's Anu Bhatt.
MAN
Could you spell your name please?
WOMAN
Yes.A-N-U...B-H-A double T.Q2
MAN
Thanks, and could I ask your date of birth?
WOMAN
31st March 1972.
MAN
Thank you. And where are you from?
WOMAN
India.Q3
MAN
Oh right.And what will you be studying?
WOMAN
I'm doing a course in nursing.Q4
MAN
Right, thank you. And how long would you want to stay in hall, do you think?
WOMAN
Well, it'll take three years but I'd only like to stay in hall for two. I'd like to think about living outside for the third year.
MAN
Fine. And what did you have in mind for catering? Do you want to cook for yourself or have all your meals provided, that's full board?
WOMAN
Is there something in between?
MAN
Yes. You can just have evening meal provided, which is half board.
WOMAN
That's what I'd prefer.Q5
MAN
Yes, a lot of students opt for that. Now, with that in mind, do you have any special diet, anything we should know about?
WOMAN
Yes, I don't take red meat.
MAN
No red meat.
MAN
Now, thinking about the room itself, we have a number of options. You can have a single study bedroom or you can have a shared one. These are both what we call simple rooms. The other alternative is to opt for a single bedsit which actually has more space and better facilities. There's about ￡20 a week difference between them.Q6
WOMAN
Well, actually my grant is quite generous and I think the bedsit sounds the best option.
MAN
Lovely. I'll put you down for that and we'll see what availability is like. Now can I ask some other personal details which we like to have on record?
WOMAN
Yes, of course.Q7
MAN
I wonder if you could let us know what your interests are. This might help us get a closer match for placing you in a particular hall.
WOMAN
Ummm. Well. I love the theatre.
MAN
Right.
WOMAN
And I enjoy sports, particularly badminton.Q8
MAN
That's worth knowing. Now, what we finish with on the form is really a list from you of what your priorities are in choosing a hall and we'll do our best to take these into account.
WOMAN
Well, the first thing is I'd prefer a hall where there are other mature students, if possible.
MAN
Yes, we do have halls which tend to cater for slightly older students.Q9
WOMAN
Ummm and I'd prefer to be out of town.
MAN
That's actually very good for you because we tend to have more vacancies in out-of -town halls.
WOMAN
Lucky!Q10
MAN
Yes. Anything else?
WOMAN
Well, I would like somewhere with a shared area, a TV room for example, or something like that. It's a good way to socialise.
MAN
It certainly is.
WOMAN
That's it.
MAN
Now, we just need a contact telephone number for you.
WOMAN
Sure, I'll just find it. It's double 67549.
MAN
Great, so we'll be in contact with you as soon as possible...
