VOCABULARY PRACTICE
Let’s listen to the recording again and fill in blanks below
Hello everyone. Now, you’re here because you’re interested in travel, right? And you’re in the right place, for at EasyTravel, we have the best 1 for the best locations. We specialise in eco-travel, or holidays 2 to get you amongst nature, ignoring the 3 and bustle of big cities. So, whether you want to hike in Nepal, as many people do, or follow some 4 paths in the rainforests of Queensland, we can give you the best deal.
If you look at our office here, you’ll see our overseas 5 . That’s for trips overseas, obviously, to Europe, to North America, but 6 for the Asian market, which is generally more popular in this part of the world. Most people like that touch of the 7 , right? But they also like the domestic market, since this country offers its fair share of beautiful natural vistas. What about the 8 , anyone? What about some striking red-rock gorges? Then, talk to our domestic 9 , who can arrange anything you want. But they deal with the accounts in the morning, so you’ll need to talk to them in the afternoon. And remember, our 10 doesn’t open at night, sorry to say.
Now, around the 11 and outer regions of this city, there are many beautiful places that you might not be aware of. And the advantages of these regional 12 are many. Mostly, by being closer, some of them can be done in a day tour. Yes, it’s fast and convenient, with none of those long-haul bus trips which often leave you 13 and uncomfortable, and stuffing heavy suitcases into 14 racks.
But, I should tell you about our buses, those that are needed for the somewhat more 15 holiday destinations. They definitely do not suffer from those problems I just mentioned. We use the services of the famous Sleek Line Company, whose buses are known as the very best. Yes, they are big, yes, they are comfortable, but what makes them especially different is the personal attendant, who 16 the driver, ready and willing to serve you , and ensure that your trip is the very best. So, whether it’s overseas or local, we can certainly give you what you want. Now, do you have any questions?
Right, let me orient you to our main EasyTravel office here. On this table right beside us are travel 17 for you to browse through, and on the wall next to that are many more, for all parts of the world. Our four travel consultants sit over there, on the other side of that long 18 . That’s right, four of them, side by side, all serving various regions.
Now, let me tell you their specific 19 . Firstly, the consultant on the left, next to the plant, is the ‘Local Tours’ consultant, serving tours in the immediate 20 of this city. Next to her is what we call ‘Regional Tours’, targeting the state-wide options. Next to her is the ‘Interstate Tours’, and that can involve either buses or planes, in the former case, utilising the SleekLine Bus service, as you know. And finally, next to her, in the corner, is ‘General Enquiries’, which is self-explanatory. If you have questions of a general nature, rather than one relating to specific 21 , you can go there.
Now, as I said, we can do international tours, and for that you need our big office, just through that door – the one between those two plants. However, if your 22 tour is in the Asian region, which is generally our most popular option, then we deal with that in a 23 room the one opposite International Tours, but not; the corner one. Just go through that door on the left – the one next to that 24 . The door next to that is, in fact, our General Office, so please don’t go through there. That’s 25 for staff members only.
