Transcript:
You will hear a telephone conversation between a
customer and an agent at a company which ships
large boxes overseas.
A: Good morning Packham’s Shipping Agents. Can I help you?
B: Oh yes, I’m ringing to make enquiries about sending a large
box, a container, back home to Kenya from the UK.
A: Yes, of course. Would you like me to try and find some
quotations for you?
B: Yes, that’d be great. Thank you.
A: Well first of all, I need a few details from you.
B: Fine.
A: Can I take your name?
B: It’s Jacob Mkere.
A: Can you spell your surname, please?
B: Yes, it’s M-K-E-R-E.
A: Is that ‘M’ for mother?
B: Yes.
A: Thank you, and you say that you will be sending the box to
Kenya?
B: That’s right.
A: And where would you like the box picked up from?
B: From college, if possible.
A: Yes, of course. I’ll take down the address now.
B: It’s Westall College.
A: Is that W-E-S-T-A-L-L?
B: Yes, college.
A: Westall College. And where’s that?
B: It’s Downlands Road, in Bristol.
A: Oh yes, I know it. And the postcode?
B: It’s BS8 9PU.
A: Right ... and I need to know the size.
B: Yes, I’ve measured it carefully and it’s 1.5m long

A: OK.

B: And it’s 0.5m high or deep.
A: Great. So I’ll calculate the volume in a moment and get
some quotes for that. But first can you tell me, you know, very
generally, what will be in the box?
B: Yes there’s mostly clothes.
A: OK. [writing down]
B: And there’s some books.
A: OK. Good. Um ... Anything else?
B: Yes, there’s also some toys.
A: OK and what is the total value, do you think, of the
contents?
B: Well the main costs are the clothes and the books – they’ll
be about £1500 but then the toys are about another two
hundred – so I’d put down £1700.
