Listening Transcript
Sarah (letting agent): Good morning, Brightside Lettings, this is Sarah speaking. How can I help you?
James: Hi, yes — I saw the two-bedroom flat you've got advertised on the website. I'd like to register my interest, if that's alright.
Sarah: Of course. Can I take a few details? Your full name first, please.
James: It's James Holloway. That's H-O-L-L-O-W-A-Y.
Sarah: Lovely, thank you. And a contact number?
James: My mobile is 07896 — sorry, let me start again — 07869 441 208.
Sarah: 07869 441 208. Got it. And which property was it — the one on Maple Road?
James: No, actually, the one on Chestnut Avenue. Number 47.
Sarah: Right, Chestnut Avenue. Now, the advertised rent there is eight hundred and fifty pounds a month — although with the service charge it comes to nine hundred and twenty. Is that within your budget?
James: Yes, that's fine. What about the deposit?
Sarah: The deposit is equivalent to six weeks' rent, which works out at around one thousand one hundred pounds. Now, when were you hoping to move in?
James: Ideally the first week of September.
Sarah: We could do the second of September — that's a Monday. The previous tenant leaves on the thirty-first of August, and we'd need a day to clean.
James: The second is fine.
Sarah: One more thing — the landlord has asked that any pets be declared up front. Do you have any?
James: Just a cat. A small one.
Sarah: That should be fine, there's usually an extra fifty pounds on the deposit for pets. And finally, your current occupation?
James: I'm a software engineer. I work from home mostly.
Sarah: Perfect. I'll email the application form to... do you have your email?
James: Yes, it's j.holloway@quickmail.co.uk.
Sarah: Thank you. I'll send that over within the hour. Viewings are running on Saturday morning — would ten thirty suit you?
James: Could we do eleven instead? I've got a dentist appointment at nine thirty.
Sarah: Eleven on Saturday, Chestnut Avenue. I'll see you there.

Answer Key with Trap Analysis
| # | Answer | Key moment in transcript | 陷阱 / 注意 | |---|---------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------| | 1 | Holloway | "H-O-L-L-O-W-A-Y" | 照拼音抄,雙 L 不能漏。 | | 2 | 07869 441 208 | "07896 — sorry, let me start again — 07869 441 208" | 自我更正陷阱:先說 07896 後改成 07869。取最後的版本。 | | 3 | Chestnut | "the one on Chestnut Avenue. Number 47" | 干擾地名:前面提到 Maple Road,被 James 糾正。 | | 4 | 920 | "eight hundred and fifty pounds... with the service charge it comes to nine hundred and twenty" | 干擾數字:£850 是基本租金,題目問 with charges → £920。 | | 5 | 1100 / 1,100 | "which works out at around one thousand one hundred pounds" | 聽到 "six weeks" 不要抄 6;題目問金額。 | | 6 | 2nd / second | "We could do the second of September — that's a Monday" | 干擾日期:James 先說 first week、31st August,都不是答案。 | | 7 | (a) cat | "Just a cat. A small one" | 寫 cat 即可,不要超過兩字限制。 | | 8 | 50 | "an extra fifty pounds on the deposit for pets" | 不要與 £1,100 主押金混淆。 | | 9 | software engineer | "I'm a software engineer" | 兩個字剛好符合限制,不要只寫 engineer。 | | 10| 11 / eleven / 11.00 | "Could we do eleven instead?" | 自我更正陷阱:Sarah 先提 10:30,James 改成 11:00。取最後版本。 |
陷阱總結
- 第 2、6、10 題都是典型「自我更正」:錄音先說一個值、再改成另一個值。聽到 sorry / actually / let me start again / could we do X instead 立刻把前面的劃掉。
- 第 4 題是 Part 1 最經典的干擾數字:錄音會刻意給你兩個金額,題目問哪個就抓哪個。劃 keyword with charges / total / including 幫助定位。
- 第 3 題的地名干擾:前面出現 Maple Road,若沒聽到 James 的否定就會抄錯。Part 1 常見「先錯後對」。
