North Residency Questionnaire Listening Practice Test with Answers

Transcript for North Residency Questionnaire

Interviewer: Excuse me?

Interviewee: Yes.

Interviewer: I was wondering if you could spare a few minutes to do a questionnaire on your residency here in the north. It won’t take long

Interviewee: No, that’s fine

Interviewer: Lovely. First of all, may I get some information about you?

Interviewee: Okay

Interviewer: May I know your name and age?

Interviewee: My name’s LEE, and I’m 19 years old now

Interviewer: Great, and could I ask what your job is? Are you a student?

Interviewee: Actually, I’m going to continue my study in business management next month, but at the moment, I’m a salesman by profession.

Interviewer: Oh, right. And how long have you been living here?

Interviewee: In the Northwell, I have been in this city since I was three years old, but my family and I lived in the east for seven years. At first, now I am 19, so I have spent about nine years living here till now

Interviewer: Great. Which part of the northern area do you live in?

Interviewee: I live in Spring Park. Have you heard of it?

Interviewer: Yes, of course. So what about your accommodation do you live in? A house or a flat or something similar?

Interviewee: I used to live with my family in a big house, and now I’m living in an apartment with two of my friends who are my colleagues as well.

Interviewer: Oh, right. And one more question. What means of transport will you take when you need to go somewhere?

Interviewee: Um, if it’s not too far away, I’d prefer to go on foot or by bicycle. If there is a long way to go, I take the train or sometimes a cab. I rarely take buses because I think the most important things to keep in mind are time and comfort.

Interviewer: Great, thanks.

Interviewer: Now, let’s go to the second part of my questionnaire. I’d like you to tell me how often you dine out. Is it once a week or several times a year?

Interviewee: I’m afraid neither of those options agree with me. I don’t often go out for dinner, maybe once a month every week just seems too often for me.

Interviewer: Okay then, where do you usually go for recreation?

Interviewee: I often go to places that other people go to. I sometimes go clubbing after work, you know, there are some fantastic (Q7) clubs nearby.

Interviewer: And if you do not have to work during the day, will you go for a show or something?

Interviewee: You know, there is the newly built theater that opened last month in Spring Park, but I rarely go there because it’s too expensive. I prefer to go to the (Q8) cinema to see some of the latest movies.

Interviewer: Do you like doing sports, and what is your main form of exercise?

Interviewee: I like swimming, and I go to the gym occasionally, but I spend most of my spare time (Q9) sailing.

Interviewer: All right, last question. Have you taken any part-time courses?

Interviewee: Yes, because I’m really keen on cartoons. I’m doing a (Q10) Japanese course during the weekends but I’m still a beginner

Interviewer: Wow, what a special language. Most people I know would like to learn Spanish or Latin. You must be brilliant. Well, thank you very much for your time.

Interviewee: No problem, bye.
