  • The accommodation office used to be near the student cafe, but it is now next to the library.
  • The office closes at 5:00, but it opens at 8:30.
  • The weekly rent is mentioned, but the room deposit is 150 pounds.
  • The laundry room is behind the dining hall, not behind the sports hall.

  • Parcels are collected from the security desk, not the accommodation office.
  • Bicycle storage is near the north gate, while visitor parking is near the south gate.
  • Emergency help is available from reception, not the maintenance office.

Review Focus

  • Did you separate Maple House from Oak House?
  • Did you hear the kitchen floor, not the common room floor?
  • Did you catch the current accommodation office location?
  • Did you separate deposit from weekly rent?
  • Did you separate emergency contact from repair contact?

Transcript

Day 48 IELTS Listening Practice - Section 2

Topic: College Accommodation Talk

Advisor: Good afternoon, everyone. This talk explains the main accommodation facilities for new students at Brookfield College.

Advisor: The quiet accommodation block is called Maple House. Oak House is closer to the main road, so it can be a little noisier in the evening.

Advisor: The shared kitchen is on the third floor. There is a common room on the second floor, but cooking facilities are one floor above that.

Advisor: The accommodation office is next to the library. It used to be near the student cafe, but it moved last month to give students a larger waiting area.

Advisor: The office opens at 8:30 in the morning. It closes at 5:00 in the afternoon, although urgent problems can be reported later through reception.

Advisor: Students need to pay a room deposit of 150 pounds. The weekly rent is paid separately, so please do not confuse the rent with the deposit.

Advisor: The laundry room is behind the dining hall. Some signs still point towards the sports hall, but those signs are being replaced this week.

Advisor: The study room is in Block C. It was in Block B last term, but Block B is now being used for language classes.

Advisor: Parcels can be collected from the security desk. The accommodation office can answer questions about parcels, but it does not store them.

Advisor: Bicycle storage is near the north gate. Visitor parking is near the south gate, so please use the correct entrance if you bring a bike.

Advisor: Emergency help is available from reception at any time. The maintenance office can repair problems, but reception is the first contact point in an emergency.

Advisor: Please read your accommodation guide carefully and ask staff if any room or facility is difficult to find.

Learning focus for Day 48

For accommodation talks, separate old locations, current locations, and emergency contacts before choosing your answer.
