LYNDA:SARA,I've heard that you want to move into a homestay family.
Is that correct?
SARA:Yes,that's right.
I've been staying with my aunt and now my cousin is arriving from Singapore and my aunt needs the room for him.
LYNDA:Oh,that's bad luck.
Well,I'll need to get some particulars first.
SARA,what's your full name?
SARA:SARA Lim,and that's SARA without the'h'at the end.
LYNDA:Mmm.
How old are you.
SARA?
SARA:Twenty-three,only just.
It was my birthday on the twenty-first of August.
LYNDA:Happy birthday for yesterday.
How long have you been in Australia?
SARA:A year in Adelaide and six months in Sydney.
I prefer Sydney,I've got more friends here.
LYNDA:What’s your address at your aunts house?
SARA:Flat one,five three nine Forest Road,Canterbury.
And the post code is two,o,three,six.
LYNDA:OK.
What are you studying now?
SARA:I was studying General English in Adelaide and now I'm doing Academic English,because I'm trying to get into Medicine next year.
LYNDA:That sounds good,but it'll take you a long time.
When would you like to move out from your aunt's?
SARA:My cousin arrives on Friday morning,so I'd better be out on Thursday.
LYNDA:What,the seventh of September?
SARA:Yes,that's right.
LYNDA:That doesn't leave us much time.
Right.
OK.
I need to know what kind of accommodation you'd like,so I can get you something suitable.
SARA:Can I share a room with someone else?
I've been alone in my room at my aunt's and I've always shared with my sister and I like that.
LYNDA:Yes,fine.
That'll save you money too.
Would you like to live with a family or do you think that a single person would be better for you?
I have lots of very nice single people on my books.
SARA:Do you have any women living alone,retired women?
LYNDA:Yes.
I have quite a few whose children have grown up and left home.
In fact,I have some really lovely retired ladies,living by themselves,who just love the company of students.
Most of them live in flats,but that's not a problem for you,is it?
SARA:Not at all.
I'm used to that.
My aunt lives in a flat too,remember.
I’m not used to a big house with a garden,swimming pool,pets and all that.
LYNDA:OK,fine.
I know quite a bit about what you want now.
I should let you know that your rent will be a hundred and sixty dollars per week.
You'll have to pay me three hundred and twenty dollars as a deposit before you move in.
The deposit is as insurance,in case you break something.
You'll need to pay monthly to me,by cash or cheque,I don't mind.
You don't need to pay for gas,electricity or water,but you will need to pay your proportion of the phone bill.
Most families do that on an honour system,but you'll have to wait and see.
SARA:Mmm.
LYNDA:Have you got any more questions for me?
SARA:When will you know where I can go?
LYNDA:I'll work on it now,so come and see me tomorrow and I should have some news for you then.
SARA:Thanks a lot.
LYNDA:Goodbye.
See you tomorrow-after lunch would be better for me.
SARA:OK,see you then.
Bye.

正当
好啊
我需要知道你想要什么样的住宿，这样我才能给你弄到合适的。

我一个人呆在我姑姑家的房间里，我总是和我姐姐一起住，我喜欢这样。
琳达：是的，很好。
那也能帮你省钱。

我的书上有很多非常好的单身人士。
莎拉：你有没有单身的女人，退休的女人？
琳达：是的。
我有不少孩子已经长大离开了家。
事实上，我有一些非常可爱的退休女士，她们独自生活，她们喜欢和学生们在一起。
他们大多住在公寓里，但这对你来说不是问题，是吗？
莎拉：一点也不。
我已经习惯了。
我姑姑也住在公寓里，记得吗。
我不习惯有花园、游泳池、宠物之类的大房子。
琳达：好的，很好。
我知道你现在想要什么。
我应该告诉你，你的租金是每周160美元。
在你搬进来之前，你得付给我320美元作为押金。
押金是一种保险，以防你弄坏了什么东西。
我不介意，你需要每月给我付现金或支票。
你不需要支付煤气费、电费或水费，但你需要支付电话费中的一部分。
大多数家庭都是通过荣誉制度这样做的，但你得拭目以待。

五、Accommodation Request Form听力答案解析
Question 1 1.5 years.录音内容中提到How long have you been in Australia？—A year in Adlaide and six months in Sydney.本题略有难度，录音中并没有给出直接答案，因为两地分别为Australia的两个城市，所以答案应为两个地方的年数相加。
Question 2 Forest/Forrest.录音接着提到What’s your address at your aunt’s house？这表明第2题答案即将出现。其后报出地址Flat one，five three nine Forest Road，Canterbury，故答案为Forest Road。考生需注意的是Forest的尾音“t”属于清辅音，在发音过程中有吞音现象。
Question 3 Academic.考生首先听到What are you studying now？接着听到I was studying General English in Adelaide and now I’m doing Academic English.注意“General English”为过去所学的一个学科，所以为干扰项，根据“答案偏后”这一规律也可以判断答案是Academic。
Question 4 Thursday.录音中提到My cousin arrives on Friday morning，so I’d better be out on Thursday.故正确答案为Thursday。
Question 5 B.录音中Sara反复提到Can I share a room with someone else?I’ve been alone in my room at my aunt’s and I’ve always shared with my sister and I like that.通过“share with someone else”和“share with my sister”的重复提及可知答案是B。
Question 6 B.录音中Sara提到Do you have any women living alone，retired women？随后Lynda回答Yes，I have quite a few whose children have grown up and lefthome.故可知答案是B。
Question 7 A.随后录音提到Most of them live in flats，but that’s not a problem for you，is it?Sara回答Not at all.I’m used to that.My aunt lives in a flat too，remember.I’m notused to a big house with a garden，swimming pool，pets and all that。故可知答案是A。
Question 8 deposit.考生注意题目中的字数要求“NO MORE THAN ONE WORD”。录音提到You’ll have to pay me three hundred and twenty dollars as a deposit before you move in。由此可知答案是deposit。
Question 9 monthly.当录音中提到You’ll need to pay monthly to me，by cash or cheque，I don’t mind时，可知道答案是monthly。
Question 10 telephone/phone.当录音中提到You don’t need to pay for gas，electricity or water，but you will need to pay your proportion of the phone bill时，可知答案是phone。
