An interview with a woman who is doing a survey on transport

Test 1. This is the IELTS Listening Test. You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear. There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work. All the recordings will be played once only. The test is in four parts. At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet. Now turn to part one. Part one. You will hear an interview with a woman who is doing a survey on transport. First, you have some time to look at questions one to five. Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5. Excuse me, would you mind if I asked you some questions? We're doing a survey on transport. Yes, that's OK. First of all, can I take your name? Yes it Sadie Jones Thanks very much And could I have your date of birth Just the year will do actually Is that all right Yes that fine It's 1991. So, next, your postcode, please. It's DW307YZ. Great, thanks. Is that in Wells? No, it's actually in Harbourn. Wells isn't far from there, though. I really like that area. My grandmother lived there when I was a kid. Yes, it is nice. Right, so now I want to ask you some questions about how you travelled here today. Did you use public transport? Yes, I came by bus. OK, and that was today. It's the 24th of April, isn't it? Isn't it the 25th? Er, no, actually, you're right. And what was the reason for your trip today? I can see you've got some shopping with you. Yes, I did some shopping, but the main reason I came here was to go to the dentist. That's not much fun. Hope it was nothing serious. No, it was just a check-up. It's fine. Good. Do you normally travel by bus into the city centre? Yes, I stopped driving in ages ago because parking was so difficult to find. And it costs so much I see The bus is much more convenient too It only takes about 30 minutes That good So where did you start your journey At the bus stop on Clacksby Street. Is that C-L-A-X-B-Y? That's right. Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10. Thank you. And how satisfied with the service are you? Do you have any complaints? Well, as I said, it's very convenient and quick when it's on time. But this morning it was late. Only about ten minutes, but still. Yes, I understand that's annoying. And what about the timetable? Do you have any comments about that? I suppose I mainly use the bus during the day, but any time I've been in town in the evening, for dinner or at the cinema I noticed you have to wait a long time for a bus There aren that many OK thanks So now I like to ask you about your car use Well, I have got a car, but I don't use it that often, mainly just to go to the supermarket. But that's about it, really. My husband uses it at the weekends to go to the golf club. And what about a bicycle? I don't actually have one at the moment. What about the city bikes you can rent? Do you ever use those? No, I'm not keen on cycling there because of all the pollution. But I would like to get a bike. It would be good to use it to get to work. So why haven't you got one now? Well, I live in a flat on the second floor and it doesn't have any storage. So we'd have to leave it in the hall outside the flat. I see. OK, well, I think that's all we need from you today. Thank you.
