Transcript

  1. Good morning.
  2. Can I help you?
  3. Yes.
  4. I've just been accepted on a course at the university
  5. And I'd like to try
  6. And arrange accommodation in the Hall of Residence.
  7. Yes, certainly.
  8. Please sit down.
  9. What I'll do is fill in a form with you to find
  10. Out a little more about your preferences and so forth.
  11. Thank you.
  12. So, first of all, can I take your name?
  13. It's Anubhat.
  14. Could you spell your name, please?
  15. Yes.
  16. A-N-U-B-H-A-T-T.
  17. Thanks.
  18. And could I ask your date of birth?
  19. The 31st of March, 1972.
  20. Thank you.
  21. And where are you from?
  22. India.
  23. Oh, right.
  24. And what will you be studying?
  25. I'm doing a course in nursing.
  26. Right.
  27. Thank you.
  28. And how long would you want to stay in Hall,
  29. Do you think?
  30. Well, it'll take three years,
  31. But I'd only like to stay in Hall for two.
  32. I'd like to think about living outside for the third year.
  33. Fine.
  34. And what did you have in mind for catering?
  35. Do you want to cook for yourself
  36. Or have all your meals provided?
  37. That's full board.
  38. Is there something in between?
  39. Yes, you can just have evening meal provided, which is half board.
  40. That's what I'd prefer.
  41. Yes, a lot of students opt for that.
  42. Now...
  43. With that in mind, do you have any special diet,
  44. Anything we should know about?
  45. Yes, I don't take red meat.
  46. No red meat.
  47. Now, thinking about the room itself, we have a number of options.
  48. You can have a single study bedroom
  49. Or you can have a shared one.
  50. These are both what we call simple rooms.
  51. The other alternative is to opt for a single bedsit,
  52. Which actually has more space and better facilities.
  53. There's about £20 a week difference between them.
  54. Well...
  55. Actually, my grant is quite generous
  56. And I think the bedsit sounds the best option.
  57. Lovely.
  58. I'll put you down for that and we'll see what availability is like.
  59. Now, can I ask some other personal details
  60. Which we'd like to have on record?
  61. Yes, of course.
  62. I wonder if you could let us know what your interests are.
  63. This might help us get a closer match for placing
  64. You in a particular hall.
  65. Um, well, I love the theatre.
  66. Right.
  67. And I enjoy sports, particularly badminton.
  68. Ah, that's worth knowing.
  69. Now, what we finish with on the form is really a list
  70. From you of what your priorities are in choosing a hall.
  71. And we'll do our best to take these into account.
  72. Well, the first thing is I'd prefer a hall
  73. Where there are other mature students, if possible.
  74. Yes, we do have halls
  75. Which tend to cater for slightly older students.
  76. And I'd prefer to be out of town.
  77. That's actually very good for you
  78. Because we tend to have more vacancies in out-of-town halls.
  79. Lucky.
  80. Yes.
  81. Anything else?
  82. Well, I would like somewhere with a shared area.
  83. A TV room, for example, or something like that.
  84. It's a good way to socialise.
  85. It certainly is.
  86. That's it?
  87. Now, we just need a contact telephone number for you.
  88. Oh, sure.
  89. I'll just find it.
  90. It's 6675...
  91. Great.
  92. So we'll be in contact with you as soon as possible.
