Representative: And is that Jenny with a 'Y' or an 'IE' at the end?Ĭaller: Yes, it confuses everyone. Representative: Is that Jenny with a double 'N'?
It's Jenny Lakewell, and the postcode's CV6 T元. May I start by taking down your name and postcode?Ĭaller: Yes. Representative: OK, so that I can process your order, I need to take down some details. Narrator: Before listening to the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 8-10. Then we could have it taken down the day after her birthday.Ĭaller: Great. When would you like us to set up the marquee?Ĭaller: Well, my daughter's birthday is on June 6th, so ideally a day beforehand. So there's only one more important detail that I need. Great! I'll go ahead with the booking then. You will then probably need 5 tables at least and so with each table costing £4, that brings us to a total of £20 for the tables.Ĭaller: OK, so I'm still just within my budget. Well, at £3 per chair, that will work out at £90 In total. Representative: Then there's the furniture: tables and chairs and so on. Otherwise, the average pricing is around £ 55.Ĭaller: I think I'll go for the more economic lighting then. With regard to the lighting, prices vary quite a bit. Representative: It depends on what you want but the cost of carpeting the marquee will add on another £150. Representative: So, now as to the cost of lighting and fittings.
Yes, I think that's the size I'll go for. The hire and installation comes to £450 but that allows you to have the marquee for 2 days.Ĭaller: The marquee size you mentioned sounds fine and will accommodate the guests that we are expecting. Well, our 4.5 by 9 metres marquee would fit in nicely. As for size, well, our garden's 15 metres by 30 metres. Representative: Can you give me an idea of both your budget and the size we're looking at?Ĭaller: Yes, I'm thinking of spending between £400-£600.I can stretch to another hundred or two but that's the maximum limit. How big is that marquee? As not only am I working to a budget but also we're limited by our garden size. For instance, one of our smaller marquees seats 30 guests but accommodates 50 standing. Representative: If you don't mind some of the guests standing, then our marquee sizes always allow standing space for almost double as many as those seated. She would like to invite double that number but we decided to split the difference and settle on 80 rather than 100! Representative: Well, you can't blame her It's a special day! Caller: I guess.I told her to limit numbers to around 50 guests but the guest list seems to be growing daily. There was no question of her waiting until her 21st, although I'm sure well be having a big celebration then, too!Ĭaller: Right, yes.Well, I was anticipating just a small 'do' but my daughter seems to have other ideas! My eldest daughter's celebrating her 18th birthday and her coming of age. Listen carefully and answer questions 1-7.Ĭaller: Oh hello, I would like to hire a marquee. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Narrator: The customer wants to hire a marquee for her oldest daughter's 18th birthday, so you write 'oldest daughter' in the space provided. First, could you give me some details about guest numbers? Representative: So, you're celebrating in style! Well, of course, I'd be happy to help. There was no question of her waiting until her 21st, although I'm sure we'll be having a big celebration then, too! Representative: Good afternoon! Magnificent Marquees, how can I help you?Ĭaller: Oh hello, I would like to hire a marquee. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. First you have some time to look at questions 1-7. You will hear a telephone conversation between a caller and a representative of a company hiring marquees.
