Practice Test 3
F:
Yes, I think it’s possible for post graduate students but not for
Q1
undergraduate students.
M:
That doesn’t seem very fair.
F:
No, I suppose not, but there simply isn’t enough room on the campus for
everyone to park.
M:
Do you need a parking permit?
F:
Yeah, I believe you do.
M:
Where do I get that from?
F:
I think you can get a parking sticker from the administration office.
M:
Where’s that?
F:
It’s in the building called Block G. Right next to Block E.
Q2
M:
Block G?
F:
Yeah.
M:
Oh right. And what happens to you if you don’t buy a sticker? Do they
clamp your wheels or give you a fine?
F:
No, I think they tow your car away.
Q3
M:
Oh really?
F:
Yeah. And then they fine you as well because you have to pay to get the car
Q3
back.
M:
I’d better get the sticker then.
F:
Yeah.
M:
Where exactly is the administration office again? I’m new to this university
and I’m still trying to find my way around.
F:
Right. You go along Library Road, past the tennis courts on your left and
the swimming pool on your right and the administration office is opposite
the car park on the left. You can’t miss it.
M:
So it’s up Library Road, past the swimming pool, opposite the car park.
Q4
Right, I’ll go straight over there. Bye and thanks for the help.

M:
No … 058K
C:
Ah. And what make is the car?
M:
It s a Ford
Q10
C:
A Ford. Fine! Well, I’ll just get you to sign here and when you’ve paid the
cashier I’ll be able to issue you with the sticker.
M:
Right. Where do I pay?
C:
Just across the corridor in the cashier’s office. Oh, but it’s 12.30 now and
they close at 12.15 for lunch. But they open again at a quarter past two until
Q11
4.30
M:
Oh .. they’re not open till quarter past two?
C:
No. When you get your sticker, you must attach it to the front windscreen of
Q12
your car. I m afraid it’s not valid if you don’t have it stuck on the window.
M:
Right, I see. Thanks very much I’ll just wait here then.
