Cycle tour leader: Applicant enquiryBog'liq Listening transcripts 230531 122425Cycle tour leader: Applicant enquiry
BOB:
Hello, Pembroke Cycling Holidays, Bob speaking.
MARGARET: Oh hello. I’ve seen your advert for people to lead cycle trips. Are you the right person to
speak to?
BOB:
Yes, I am. Could I have your name, please?
MARGARET:
It’s Margaret Smith.
Example
BOB:
Are you looking for a permanent job, Margaret?
Q1
MARGARET:
No, temporary. I’ve got a permanent job starting in a few months’ time, and I want to do
something else until then.
BOB:
What work do you do?
MARGARET: This will probably sound crazy – I used to be a lawyer, and then I made a complete career
change and
I’m going to be a doctor
Q2
. I’ve just finished my training.
BOB:
Right. And have you had any experience of leading cycle trips?
MARGARET: Yes,
I’ve led several bike tours in Africa
Q3
. The trip to India that I had arranged to lead
next month has now been cancelled, so when I saw you were advertising for tour leaders,
I decided to apply.
BOB:
OK. Now we normally have two or three leaders on a trip, depending on the size of the
group. Some tours are for very experienced cyclists, but we’ve got a tour coming up soon
in Spain, which is proving so popular we need an additional leader. It’s a cycling holiday
for families. Would that suit you?
MARGARET: It certainly would. I enjoy working with children, and I probable need some more experience
before I go on a really challenging trip.
BOB:
That tour includes several teenagers: have you worked with that age group before?
MARGARET: Yes,
I’m a volunteer worker in a youth club
Q4
, where I help people to improve their
cycling skills. Before that I helped out in a cycling club where I taught beginners.
BOB:
Well that’s great. Now the trip I mentioned is just for a fortnight, but there might be the
possibility of leading other tours after that. Would that fit in with your plans?
MARGARET: That’s be fine.
