听力原文:Conversation 1
F: Hello, this is First Direct, how can I help you?
M: This is Ahmed Aziz speaking. Er, I'm interested in opening an account with you, but I have a couple of questions.
F: What exactly would you like to know, Mr. Asiz?
M: First of all, if I bank with you, how do I pay money into my account?
F: Well, as you probably know, First Direct is a part of the Midland Bank. That means you can pay into your First Direct account at any of their branches.
M: I see. Er, do they charge me for that?
F: No, that's free.
M: OK. Right. The other thing I wanted to know was: do you pay interest on current accounts?
F: Yea, we do. As long as your account is in credit. The interest is then calculated daily, and we add it to your account at the end of each month.
M: Uh huh.
F: Is there anything else you'd like to know, Mr. Aziz?
M: No, I think that's all for the time being. Thank you.
F: Thank you for calling, Mr. Aziz. Goodbye.

F: I see. Well, the problem is we have an exhibition coming up at the beginning of next month and we'll want to have them for then. How soon can you get them done?
M: Would the end of the week be OK?
F: That'd be great.

M: Well, we have about 230 participants. I think we need four mid-sized rooms with multi-media equipment. Each room can hold 50 to 60 people.
F: I am sorry, we only have three mid-sized rooms available at that time. But we have a big one which can hold 100 people.
M: Well, since there is no enough room, that will be OK. By the way, how do you charge?
F: It's $300 for mid-sized rooms and $400 for the big one per day. If you have the membership, we can give you a 20% discount.
M: Oh, yes, we do have the membership. So that would be $240 for a mid-sized room and $320 for a big room per day. Does that include tea, coffee, and snacks?
F: No, you have to pay extra for that. $10 per person each day if you want that.
M: Oh, no, I think I'll save that. Can you transfer payment from our account?
F: Sure, is your account number still MH52775-3218

Bank Manager: Right, er... now do you want a deposit (定期的) or a current account (活期的账户)?
Helen Andrews: Well, I want to be able to take my money out at any time.
Bank Manager: I see. So you probably want a Current account.
Helen Andrews: Well, if you say so. I've only had a post office savings account until now.
Bank Manager: Well, with a current account you can... have a cheque book, or you can come into the bank and take the money out as you like. Of course there's no interest in the current account.
Helen Andrews: None at all?
Bank Manager: No. if you put it into a seven day's deposit account of cours9 you get interest, but in a current account, none.
Helen Andrews: Well, most of people have current accounts, don't they?
Bank Manager: Well, they do if they've got an awful lot of money and they need to use it regularly. Er... so that's probably the best thing for you.
Helen Andrews: Well, you'll give me a cheque book, won't you?
Bank Manager: I'll give a cheque book immediately, yes, er...
Helen Andrews: Do you need my signature?

Helen Andrews: Six months?
Bank Manager: Yes, we have to see how the account's going, you see.
Helen Andrews: But that's crazy. I mean I used to work in a shop and we'd never accept cheques without a cheque card, I mean no one will accept my money.
