Transcript:

You will hear a telephone conversation between a

customer and an agent at a company which ships

large boxes overseas.

A: Good morning Packham’s Shipping Agents. Can I help you?

B: Oh yes, I’m ringing to make enquiries about sending a large

box, a container, back home to Kenya from the UK.

A: Yes, of course. Would you like me to try and find some

quotations for you?

B: Yes, that’d be great. Thank you.

A: Well first of all, I need a few details from you.

B: Fine.

A: Can I take your name?

B: It’s Jacob Mkere.

A: Can you spell your surname, please?

B: Yes, it’s M-K-E-R-E.

A: Is that ‘M’ for mother?

B: Yes.

A: Thank you, and you say that you will be sending the box to

Kenya?

B: That’s right.

A: And where would you like the box picked up from?

B: From college, if possible.

A: Yes, of course. I’ll take down the address now.

B: It’s Westall College.

A: Is that W-E-S-T-A-L-L?

B: Yes, college.

A: Westall College. And where’s that?

B: It’s Downlands Road, in Bristol.

A: Oh yes, I know it. And the postcode?

B: It’s BS8 9PU.

A: Right ... and I need to know the size.

B: Yes, I’ve measured it carefully and it’s 1.5m long

A: Right.

B: 0.75m wide

A: OK.



B: And it’s 0.5m high or deep.

A: Great. So I’ll calculate the volume in a moment and get

some quotes for that. But first can you tell me, you know, very

generally, what will be in the box?

B: Yes there’s mostly clothes.

A: OK. [writing down]

B: And there’s some books.

A: OK. Good. Um ... Anything else?

B: Yes, there’s also some toys.

A: OK and what is the total value, do you think, of the

contents?

B: Well the main costs are the clothes and the books – they’ll

be about £1500 but then the toys are about another two

hundred – so I’d put down £1700.
