SCRIPT – SECTION 1 – IELTS LISTENING TEST 14

Forty-one, forty-two, forty-three. That’s everyone. Okay, if you can just bear with me for a moment or two. Hello everyone.
Thanks for getting here on time. Well get underway directly and make the first leg of our trip. But first let me
introduce myself to you. I’m Jenny Allen and I’m going to be your tour leader on this trip of European capitals.
The tour leaders first name is jenny so the word jenny has been written in the gap now we will begin you should answer the
questions as you listen as you will not hear the recording a second time listen to the talk carefully and answer questions one
to eight.
If you have any problems or difficulties, or if you want to know more about something, then ask me and I’ll do my very best
to help you. And this is Ray, Ray Smith, who is our driver for this tour. And welcome especially to Chara and Indira.
They’ve just finished their university exams and are celebrating with a tour before going home to India.
Now, Eurobus’s European Capitals Tour. Five capitals in six days. I gave you our itinerary (lịch trình) as you were coming
aboard so let me take you through it. It hasn’t changed from the time you booked, I promise, but various things we couldn’t
put in the brochure have been confirmed now and I can tell you about them. This is Day One and we’re going to drive from
here, down the Ml to London which will be the first of our capitals. We expect to arrive in London, at about 1.00 in the
afternoon. There will be a break for coffee on the way, probably around 11 a.m., at Northampton. After lunch at 3.00, there’s
a tour of the sites of London: Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square and so on. At 5.00 we’ll book
you into your hotel for the night. We have arranged some tea but we need to leave at 6:30 promptly (chính xác, ngay,
đúng) please, to get you into the show on time. As we hoped, we’re all going to see Abba the, so you can all sing along.
We’ll be back at the hotel by 11.00 and, if you want, you can have a drink or something else to eat then.
Day Two. Breakfast is arranged for seven o'clock. We’ve booked a full breakfast and the bus will leave at 8.30. We must be
on time for this because were got to book into the Eurostar by 9.30 at the latest and we can never be sure of the traffic, so we
need to give ourselves plenty of time. There’re a buffet bar on board Eurostar all the way to Paris, so you can get coffee or
snacks or anything during the time it takes to go to Paris, which is our second capital. We should arrive at 9.50. We’ll
go straight to the hotel. By the way, it will be the King George Hotel, not the Victor Hugo Hotel as originally listed. Don’t
worry, it is actually a much better hotel. The rest of the itinerary in Paris remains the same. Lunch followed by a tour of the
city – the Eiffel Tower, the Arc De Triomphe, Notre Dame. You’re free for 3 hours after 5 to go wherever you want and
we’re booked at 8.30 for dinner at L’ Escargot. It has four Michelin Stars and will be a meal, I promise you, you won’t
forget.
Now I appreciate this is a lot to take in, so I won’t go through the rest of it in any detail – although you can ask me later if
you want. I’ll just point to some of the minor changes so they don’t surprise you later. Day Three will drive to Brussels. The
trip round the chocolate factory is now confirmed. It will be the Leonidas factory. I’m looking forward to that. There won’t
be a bus tour of Brussels because there are elections on Day Three and large parts of the city will be blocked off, so we’ve
arranged a walking tour instead. If any of you feel that doesn’t appeal, then see me and my colleagues in head office will try
to arrange something else instead. Day Four is Luxembourg and there’s no change there. Day Five is Berlin. Day Six is
Amsterdam, not exactly a capital city but the biggest Dutch town. We have been successful at getting you into the Van
Goghart exhibition there. I know some of you will enjoy that. Then it is back on the ferry and we hope to be in
Wolverhampton by midnight.
