Questions 1-3
Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C.

Write your answers in boxes 1-3 on your answer sheet.

1. Reception is in

2. If you park without a permit

3. Reception is located

The answer is B. According to the script, when the male customer asks about where reception is, the female customer replies, "It’s in the building called Block D. Right next to Block E." Option (B) is "Block D", which matches exactly with the information provided by the female customer. Options (A) and (C) are mentioned in the conversation as other buildings but are not the location of the reception.

Associated Text:
F: It’s in the building called Block D. Right next to Block E.

The answer is C. The female customer says, "I think they tow your car away. Yeah. And then you have to pay a fine too because you have to pay to have the car released." This means the car is both towed and a fine must be paid, which matches option (C). Options (A) and (B) do not fully cover both parts of the penalty.

Associated Text:
F: I think they tow your car away. Yeah. And then you have to pay a fine too because you have to pay to have the car released.

The answer is C. The script says, "the reception is opposite the children’s swimming pool – not the adult pool, that’s further down the road." The male customer confirms, "opposite the kids’ pool." Option (C) is "Opposite the children’s swimming pool," which directly matches the location described. Options (A) and (B) do not match this exact detail.

Associated Text:
F: Reception. Right, well you go up Hill Road and turn onto New Street, past the cafeteria on your right and the reception is opposite the children’s swimming pool – not the adult pool, that’s further down the road. You can’t miss it. M: So it’s up Hill Road, onto New Street, past the cafeteria, opposite the kids’ pool.

Questions 4-9
Complete the form below.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
APPLICATION FOR PARKING STICKER
Name (4)
Address Flat 13, (5) Road
Suburb (6)
Zone (7)
Registration number (8)
Make of car (9)

The answer is Mike Beel. In the conversation, the male customer explicitly gives his name to the clerk: "Mike Beel — that’s spelt with a double ‘e’." This clearly fills in the blank for the name on the application form. No other names are given for the applicant, so this is the only correct choice.

Associated Text:
M: Mike Beel — that’s spelt with a double ‘e’.

The answer is 50 Newbury. The male customer provides his address as "Flat 13, 50 Newbury Road". The question prompt specifically asks for the road name, which is "50 Newbury". The rest of the address (Flat 13) and suburb are not required for this blank.

Associated Text:
M: Flat 13, 50 Newbury Road.

The answer is Dulport. The candidate gives his suburb as "Dulport", spelling it out as well: "D-U-L-P-0-R-T". This clearly answers the form's "Suburb" field and there are no other suburbs mentioned for this address.

Associated Text:
M: N-E-W-B-U-R-Y. And that’s in the suburb of Dulport: D-U-L-P-0-R-T.

The answer is Red. When asked which zone of the campsite he is staying in, the male customer answers: "Oh. Um, it’s Red Zone." "Red" is the correct and concise answer.

Associated Text:
M: Oh. Um, it’s Red Zone.

The answer is BZK 064D. The exact registration given by the male customer is: "BZK 064D." He repeats the registration to clarify, ensuring there is no mistake.

Associated Text:
M: Um, let me think … B Z K six… oh ... No, sorry, I always get that wrong, it’s BZK 064D.

The answer is Ford Q10. When asked about the make of the car, the male customer says: "It’s a Ford Q10." This directly answers the form's request for the type of car.

Associated Text:
M: It’s a Ford Q10.

Questions 10-11
Complete the short answers below.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.

10. What time does the cashier’s office open?

11. Where should the parking sticker be displayed?

The answer is quarter to two. In the dialogue, the clerk says, "they close at 1 for lunch. But they open again at a quarter to two until 5:30." This clearly indicates the time the cashier’s office opens again.

Associated Text:
C: Oh, but it’s 1:30 now and they close at 1 for lunch. But they open again at a quarter to two until 5:30.

The answer is on the windscreen. The passage says: "It’s not valid if you don’t have it stuck on the windscreen, you see." This instruction answers directly where the sticker needs to be displayed to be valid.

Associated Text:
C: It’s not valid if you don’t have it stuck on the windscreen, you see.

Note: After the instruction audio, you will have 20 seconds to look at questions before listening to the conversation.
