IELTS LISTENING
Transport Survey
Transport Office: Excuse me. I wonder if you could spare a few minutes to do a survey on transport. It won’t take long.
Louisa: No, that’s fine.
Transport Office: Hold lovely. The survey is on behalf of the local council. They’d like to know about what transport you use and any suggestions for improvements.
Can I start by asking you how you traveled to town today?
Louisa: Sure, I came on the bus.
Attempt full listening test…
Transport Office: Great. Now can I get a few details about you? Okay. What’s your name?
Louisa: It’s Louisa.
Transport Office : Yes, Q1 Hardie. Can you spell that, please?
Louisa: Yes. It’s H.A.R.D.Y
Transport Office: Great. Thanks. And can I have your address?
Louisa: It’s Q2 19 white stone road.
Transport Office: Oh, right. I knew that area. It’s Bradfield, isn’t it?
Louisa: That’s right, huh? Is the postcode GT 7? It’s actually Q3 GT8 2LC great.
Transport Office: rate. And could I ask what your job is? Are you a student?
Louisa: I’ve actually just finished my training. I’m a Q4 hairdresser Oh,
Transport Office: right And one more question in this section. What is the reason for you coming into town today?
Louisa: Actually, it’s not for shopping today, which would be my normal reason, but to see the Q5 dentist, right?
Transport Office: Now, in this last section, I’d like you to give us some ideas about the facilities and arrangements in the city for getting to and from work.
Louisa: Well, something I’ve thought about for some time is that when I do walk on DH, I’m doing a later shift. I think the Q6 lighting should be better.
Transport Office: Yes, good point.
Louisa: And of course, I think it’s a real shame they’ve been cutting down on the number of footpaths. They should have more of those. Then people would walk more. Yes, right. And I don’t think there are enough Q7 trains, That’s why I don’t use them. You have to wait so long.
Transport Office: Thanks And finally, I’d like to ask your opinion on cycling. As you may know, there’s a drive in the city to get more people to cycle to work.
But we realise that there are things which the council but also employers might do to helping courage workers to cycle to work.
Louisa: Yeah, well, I have thought about it on where I work. There are no Q8 safe places to leave. Your bike’s okay. And also I’d have to cycle uphill. And on a hot day I’d arrive at work pretty sweaty. So I think I need a Q9 shower somewhere at work. Right? And I suppose the last thing is that I wouldn’t be a ll that confident about cycling on such busy roads. I think I’d like to see you offering Q10 training for that. You know, I’d feel a lot better about starting if that was the case.
Transport Office: Well, that’s very helpful. Thank you very much for your time.
Louisa: No problem. Bye.
