Multiple Choice L - Practice 2A Transcript

Advisor	Now, you can see on our website that we have a lot of course .... what are you interested in doing?
Caller	Well. I don't want to publish anything. I just want to raise the standard of my own writing.
Advisor	Yes, it depends on whether you want to, you know, write creatively or for fun. We also have fiction writing - that includes writing children's stories.
Caller	Well, I work in an advertising agency, so...I'd like to write better so that ..... well, I'd like my salary to rise.
Advisor	Ok, so we can send you our brochure for business writing and if you think it'll be right for you, then you can enrol.
Caller	Great. What happens after that?
Advisor	Then we send you the course pack.
Caller	What does that contain?
Advisor	You get some books that will help you with your writing skills, an audio course on CDs and instructional DVDs to watch, and some lesson texts to read.
Caller	OK. What if I change my mind?
Advisor	Well, you can send the materials back to us. You have 21 days to decide, and we'll refund your fees within that time.
Caller	Ah, that's quite good. I see. So the enrolment fee includes the course materials?
Advisor	Yes, it does - for all our courses.
Caller	So are there different fees for different courses?
Advisor	Yes, at the moment, your course is ... let me see. They've just raised the prices ... it was £340, but I think it's £375 now. Yes, fees rose a month ago. I'm afraid, um, by ten percent - most of our courses are now between three and four hundred pounds.
Caller	OK. That's not bad - so, who will teach me?
Advisor	Well, before we decide that, you do your first written assignment. It's like a personal profile.
Caller	So I write about things like my background and where I was brought up?
Advisor	No. It's the future we're interested in.
Caller	Oh, OK, so ... what I want to get from the course, and how it will help me to achieve my ambitions?
Advisor	That's right. We get a picture of who you are and your needs and then we match you to a personal tutor who will teach you and work with you.
Caller	That's a good idea. And how do I get that to you?
Advisor	Well, you send it in to us by post or through our website.
Caller	What about lessons?
Advisor	There are 15 lessons altogether, and each one has an assignment.
Caller	And what sort of feedback will I get?
Advisor	There's continuous online support, and part of that is a web-based facility for all the students on your programme to get together.
Caller	Oh, so we can share ideas and things?
Advisor	That's right. With no need to go into a classroom or be tied to weekly schedules.
Caller	OK. Thanks, I think that's all my questions.
Advisor	Don't hesitate to call if you have any more.
Caller	OK, thanks. Bye
