Activity 3
1.1
Narrator: You will hear a student buying a monthly mobile
phone service plan. For questions one to five,
listen and complete the gaps.
Jen: Hi, how can I help you today?
David: My phone plan’s going to finish next month and I’m
looking for a new contract.
Jen: What kind do you want?
David: Oh, I don’t know. What are the options?
Jen: Well, would you like just mobile, or do you want
one of our deals on mobile and home broadband
services too?
David: Just the mobile one, please.
Jen: OK sure. Well, we have some great mobile deals.
We’ve got two offers at the moment. Are you a
student?
David: Yes, I am.
Jen: Then you probably want our Student Plan.
David: OK, what does that include?
Jen: Well, you get a new Sun Nineteen phone with the
student plan. It’s better than our other plans, which
only give new customers a Sun Seventeen phone.
We’re offering that for a short period of time.
David: Really? What’s the minimum contract on that? Is
that six or twelve months?
Jen: Oh it’s twelve. We never do six months.
David: OK, sounds good. What else is in the plan?
Jen: You probably get more minutes for calls than you
need. There are limits on the number of calls you
can make – let me see, that’s six hundred. But with
that you also get unlimited texts, and most people
use those more than calls these days.
David: And how much is that a month?
Jen: It’s twenty-five pounds. That’s cheaper than the
normal price to non-students.
David: I’ll have to think about it, I think. What about if I
keep my old phone? Do you have a call-only plan?
Jen: Yes, of course.
David: And how much is that?
Jen: Let’s see. We’ll need you to put down a deposit
before you start the plan, so it’s normally ten
pounds after the second month, although that
depends on the amount of calls and data you use.
For the first month it’s fifteen pounds, and you’ll
get the extra five pounds back when the contract
comes to an end.
David: And how many minutes do I get with that?
Jen: You can make four hundred minutes of calls a
month on the basic call-only plan, but most of our
customers only use about two hundred of that limit.
David: The basic one sounds perfect!

Activity 5
1.2
Narrator: Now read questions six to ten.
Jen: Right, let me just take some details from you.
David: Sure.
Jen: What’s your full name?
David: David White.
Jen: Like the colour?
David: Yes, that’s right.
Jen: OK, and I need to take an email address, just so we
can contact you if there’s a problem.
David: Sure, it’s Stegboy, that’s S-T-E-G-B-O-Y, at student
uni dot A-C dot U-K.
Jen: That’s great, and we have your contact phone
number. Now, how much data do you want? What
kind of things do you use your phone for?
David: Oh, I don’t know. The usual I guess.
Jen: We have a five-gigabyte plan, which we
recommend for people who store games on
their phone. It’s also good for people with a lot of
photos. Or we have a three-gigabyte plan for more
normal use. Do you use your phone for games
regularly?
David: Well, I don’t game much, but I always have a lot
of videos on there. I need to record things for my
media course, so I think I’ll go for the larger option.
Jen: Sure, that’s a good idea. And how would you prefer
to pay?
David: What are the options?
Jen: We prefer our customers to send the money by
automatic bank transfer.
David: I’d prefer to do it by cash to start. I’ve just started at
university and I haven’t opened a bank account here
yet.
Jen: That’s no problem, just send us your bank account
details when you have them. Or you can always do
a monthly top-up at any shop if you prefer.
David: And where can I collect the card to get started?
Jen: All you need to do is sign here and you can pick up
your card at the reception desk, which you passed
next to the entrance to the store. But first you need
to pay at the cash desk.
David: Thanks, that’s great.
