スクリプト― Question 17-20 答えになる箇所にラインマーカーを引いています
And finally I’d like to tell you about our new wildlife area, Hinchingbrooke Park, which will be opened to the public next month. This slide doesn’t really indicate how big it is, but anyway, you can see the two gates into the park, and the main paths. As you can see, there’s a lake in the north west of the park, Q17 with a bird hide to the west of it, at the end of a path. So it’ll be a nice quiet place for watching the birds on the lake.
Fairly close to where refreshments are available, Q18 there’s a dog-walking area in the southern part of the park, leading off from the path. And if you just want to sit and relax, you can go to Q19 the flower garden: that’s the circular area on the map surrounded by paths.
And finally, there’s Q20 a wooded area in the western section of the park. between
two paths.
Okay, that’s enough from me, so let’s go on to …
スクリプト― Question 11-13 答えになる箇所にラインマーカーを引いています
Hello?
Hi. It’s Laura Carlton here. We’ve just arrived at the holiday flat, but I can’t get the hot water and heating to work.
Oh right! That’s easy. Don’t worry. In the upstairs cupboard, you’ll find the water heater. You’ll see three main controls on the left at the bottom of the heater.
Q11 The first one – the round one on the far left – is the most important one for the heating and hot water. It’s the main control switch. Make sure it’s in the ‘on’ position. The switch itself doesn’t light up, but the little square below will be black if the switch is ‘off’. That’s probably what’s happened – it’s got switched off by mistake. The middle one of these three controls – you’ll see it’s slightly larger than the first one – controls the radiators. If you feel cold while you’re there and need the radiators on, this needs to be turned to maximum. The last of the three controls – the one on the right – is usually on about a number four setting which for the water in the taps is usually quite hot enough.
Q12 Below the heating controls in the middle is a small round plastic button. If there isn’t enough water in the pipes, sometimes the heater goes out. If this happens Q12 you’ll need to press this button to reset the heater. Hold it in for about five seconds and the heater should come on again. Then there’s Q13 a little square indicator under the third knob that’s a kind of alarm light. It’ll flash if you need to reset the heater.
It sounds complicated …
