SECTION 1

MAN: Good morning Can I help you?

WOMAN: Hello Yes, maybe you can I need to change my mobile The one I’m using is about 10

years old now!

MAN: OK

WOMAN: But things have changed a lot since I bought this one It’s all rather confusing

MAN: OK Well basically there are two things you need to consider The plan which suits you

best and the phone itself

WOMAN: Well, actually I looked at it the other way! I think I’ve already decided which phone I

like

MAN: Oh well! OK, then! So which one is it?

WOMAN: The AY 310

MAN: OK, the AY 310, that is the most popular phone these days It’s very cool, isn’t it?

WOMAN: I’m not sure if it’s cool but I really like the large screen

MAN: Right Well, if you choose that phone, you have a choice of two plans

WOMAN: Only two plans?

MAN: Yes, standard and premium

WOMAN: OK, so what’s the difference?

MAN: With the standard plan you get 120 free texts a month and free unlimited calls to 5

friends or family members

WOMAN: OK, and how much is that one?

MAN: That’s $24.99 a month

WOMAN: OK And the premium?

MAN: With the premium you get 260 free texts a month

WOMAN: Wow, more than double

MAN: Yes, and also you get free unlimited calls to 10 friends or family members

WOMAN: So, that is double

MAN: Yes

WOMAN: And is the price double, too?

MAN: Not at all The monthly price for the premium is just $36.99 so a bit of a bargain

really

-

MAN: So you’d like to go for the premium?

WOMAN: Yes, please

MAN: Right then If you’d just like to take a seat over here, we’ll sort out the paperwork First of

all, I need you name of course

Trang 14

WOMAN: Ann Gleason-Dellway

MAN: OK Could you spell your surname for me, please?

WOMAN: That’s Gleason, G-L-E-A-S-O-N, hyphen Dellway, D-E-L-L-W-A-Y

MAN: Sorry is that G, L, double E?

WOMAN: G-L-E-A

MAN: And is that Anne with an ‘E’ or without?

WOMAN: Without

MAN: Right, and your address please

WOMAN: 176, Beach Road Moston

MAN: OK, again sorry, is that Beech double ‘E’?

WOMAN: No B, E, A

MAN: OK And do you have a landline number?

WOMAN: Yes, we do It’s 0672 387 8352

MAN: 0672 387 8352

WOMAN: That’s it

MAN: And how would you like to settle your bill each month You can call in at any of our

branches, or you can post a cheque or what most people do is to set up a direct debit from your bank

WOMAN: Yes, I’ll do that You’ll give me your bank details, will you?

MAN: Actually, there inside the pack So as long as you set it up with your bank before the 14th

of this month everything should be OK

WOMAN: OK I see

MAN: And the other is question is, would you like to extend the warranty on the handset?

WOMAN: Extend it So what does it come with? One year?

MAN: That’s right And you can extend that to three or five years It’s not a bad idea because it

doesn’t cost much but if you drop your phone, for example, and it’s not under warranty, it’ll be expensive to replace

WOMAN: Right Well, I think 5 years might be a bit much I’ll probably buy a new one before

then

MAN: Well, you did keep the last one 10 years!

WOMAN: That’s true! But I think the 3 year option is probably enough

MAN: OK, then
