Task 3 10p
Read the article carefully and choose the best sentence (A-F) to fill in each gap (1-5).Do not mark any letter more than once. There is
an extra sentence that you should not use.
A.  What our customers want is to take their families on a free vacation as soon as it is possible, says the CEO.
B. However, the thing that almost all respondents said about the company was that it always provides the same level of
high quality service.
C. Business people do not appreciate having to mix with ordinary tourists.
D. Every day, there is a 15-minute exercise on things like how to welcome a guest, or how to handle a complaint.
E. All of them related to what really counts (after price and location, of course): 39% of the respondents said the quality of
the guest rooms was the most important thing.
F. The respondents often mentioned the company s loyalty program.
The ideal place to stay for a business travellerWe turned to our readers and asked them to name the best places for
the business traveller to stay.
It was virtually impossible to find the single best hotel. We asked our readers to name their favourite one and got almost
1,200 different answers. 1)______ The hotel staff and health club were also high on the list, but the real surprise was high-
speed Internet access, which came a strong second.
We had no problem identifying the top hotel chain. Marriott International, with 24% of all votes, was the winner. True,
Marriott is the largest hotelier in the world, and its range of locations gives it an advantage. 2)______  There has never been
any unpleasant surprise, said one reader.  In every Marriott throughout the world, the staff is always caring, added
another.
Such attentive service is no accident.  We spend well over $100 million a year on training, says J.W. Marriott Jr., chairman
and CEO. 3)______ I tell our people:  We don t manufacture anything. We provide experiences.
Consistency and the number of locations were also reasons why 12% of the respondents picked Hilton Hotels  No.2
company in the survey. 4)______ It allows members to earn points for using the services of companies under the Hilton
umbrella.  I can stay at Hilton Inn and earn points toward Hilton stays, one subscriber noted.
No.3 on the best hotel chain list was Westin, something of a surprise since, with just 120 hotels worldwide, it s much smaller
than many of its rivals.
Readers choices of their favourite hotel loyalty programs were similar to the list of their favourite hotel chains. Here again,
readers chose these programs for the number of locations and variety of brands under one plan. Last summer, Marriott
improved its program to allow frequent guests to earn free stays 30% faster than many of its rivals. 5)______

Task 4 10p
Read the article on being a customer service advisor. For each sentence (1-5) choose the correct ending: a, b or c.
Being a customer service advisor in a call centre in India is not sweatshop work. It is highly skilled and not
easy to do well. Advisors need to be educated and able to master complex areas such as motor insurance, and to
be able to deal with many different English accents. Not everyone can cope with this. Some just learn the
standard responses and repeat these without real understanding and this causes problems when something
unusual or difficult occurs.
Compared with working conditions in other industries in India, the working environment in call centres is
extremely good and the wages are high. There is fierce competition for jobs and the best companies attract the
best people. Advisors often see working in a call centre as a step up the corporate ladder to a management
position or to another job, having worked on their language and customer care skills. Having dealt with the high
pressure of taking non-stop calls from the UK in the middle of the night for several months, advisors have proved
themselves capable of dealing with a heavy workload.
The job is not an easy one but then many jobs are difficult. Compared with coal mining or industrial
manufacturing, the kind of pressures are completely different and different people can cope with different
pressures.
Working in a call centre is not just answering the phone. It s being able to deal with many different
problems and situations. It is a real skill to be able to sound patient and understanding with equally stressed
customers who may have been on hold for a long time and who are calling because they have a problem which
needs to be solved.
1. To be a good customer service advisor you need to
a. know how to use many English accents.
b. be able to deal with a variety of challenges well.
c. learn what to say and say it automatically.
2. After working for some time, customer service advisors
a. all quickly become company managers.
b. can start to learn customer care and language skills.
c. have a choice of career moves for the next stage in their career.
3. Experienced customer service advisors have shown that they can
a. use the telephone.
b. cope well with a high volume of work.
c. improve their language skills.
4. Jobs in call centres are
a. not characterized by the same pressures as coal mining.
b. as difficult as coal mining and industrial manufacturing.
c. harder than coal mining and industrial manufacturing.
5. When a customer service advisor talks to a customer, they
a. both have a problem.
b. both should be patient.
c. are both under pressure.

Task 1
Answer machine: Hello, this is the Electric Mountain Visitor Centre. To hear our opening times, press 1. To speak to an
information officer, please hold the line.
Officer: Hello, Electric Mountain Visitor Centre.
Catherine: Hello, I'd like to arrange a visit to the centre and I wonder if you could give me some information about it.
Officer: Sure. To start with we're open every day from May to October; then from November to March it's five days a week.
Catherine: I'll be coming in May.
Officer: Then you need to know the opening times. In May we open at 10.30 in the morning and close at 4.30. Are you
staying near the visitor centre?
Catherine: We're staying at Caernarfon.
Officer: Then you're not too far away. The tour takes two hours, so that's 11,1 and 3 to catch a tour.
Catherine: Can you tell me what the tour includes?
Officer: Let me give you a quick description. There are three parts to the tour: some at the Electric Mountain Visitor Centre
and some of it at the power station itself.
Catherine: OK.
Officer: The tour starts with a multi-media sound and vision show here, at Electric Mountain. From here, a tour bus will
transport you underground to the power station for a guided tour of the power station. From the main gallery, you can see
Dinorwig's massive generators in action.
Catherine: Could you tell me what Dinorwig is?
Officer: That's the name of the mountain where the power station is. In the gallery we show you a film that explains the
building and commissioning of the power station. Then the bus takes you up to the surface and back to the Electric Mountain
Visitor Centre.
Catherine: And that takes two hours?
Officer: That's right.
Catherine: And how much does it cost?
Officer: Are you part of a group or a student?
Catherine: I'm a student.
Officer: Well, we have a special discounted rate for students  the full price for an adult is Ł6, but for students it's Ł4.50.
Catherine: What about for groups? The tour sounds really interesting; so maybe I could get more people to come.
Officer: The minimum number of people per group is 20 and we have special rates for this.
Catherine: Would you mind telling me the group rate?
Officer: Of course not; its Ł70 per group.
Catherine: OK, well I ll get back to you later.
Officer: You're very welcome. Bye.
Adapted from: Achieve IELTS
Task 2
What are the websites you can rely on? Well, of course, government-sponsored sites, educational sites run by universities or
medical schools, and websites of well known professional organizations, they re usually non-profit making and should be
trustworthy, you can rely on them. By the way, government agencies in the UK usually have the suffix .gov in the address,
and educational bodies have .ac, though in the United States .edu is more commonly used for academic sites. Professional
organizations and charities sometimes have .org and commercial organizations often finish with .com. A word about health
and medical information you find on the net. Any statement or evidence should be supported by well established research or
medical institutions. Or, if the material you find has been reviewed by an expert, that s a good sign. We call that  peer
reviews . If the material has not been reviewed, then be careful. Check other sources, other websites, to see if they support
the statement or evidence you have found. The material should be up to date  medical sites should really be updated
weekly or monthly  well that s the ideal. I think one other point is worth mentioning. It s important the website separates
opinion from research results. Research results are based on evidence, and you need to know what the evidence is. It s OK
for opinions to be included in the website, as long as it s clear they are opinions, and not scientific facts. Oh yes, and by the
way, a good website will provide links with other sources of information so you can check if these back up the findings or
research results.
Well, I hope these tips will help you to evaluate information you get from Internet websites. You re lucky to have this source
of information. When I was studying medicine, the library was the main source of information for me. Nowadays, I use the
Internet a lot in me research, but I m very careful what websites I use, I m sure you will be too.
