IELTS Listening Multiple Choice Questions | Example 4

Man: Yes. Hello, I’m calling about enrolling to study at the university. This is the right number?

Woman: Yes. This is Michford University admissions; what would you like to know?

Man:  Well, basically, I need to know what I have to do to be enrolled as a student. You see, I’m currently studying education at another school. I’ve just finished my first year, but I’m not really enjoying it. I think I’m more interested in accounting. My dad teaches maths, so I thought it might be a good choice. Well, better than business anyway. 

Woman: Okay. Okay. Have you received a registration pack?

Man: No. How can I get one of those?

Woman:  Well, you’ve got to have one to register. You can enroll at the university at any time after you receive a registration pack. These are usually available from September for first-year and transfer students and from November for returning students. On the basis of the information contained in the registration pack, you should attempt to make a firm choice about which courses to study, before completing your form.

Man: I see. So, I’ve only got a month to get my registration packing. Can you send me one?

Woman: Sure. If you’re close to a high school, the registration pack and university prospectus are available from the careers adviser. Would that be helpful? 

Man: Well the closest school is too far away and I haven’t got a car. Are there any other ways you can send it to me? 

Woman: Well, for prospective students who have already left school, the registration pack and prospectus are available from the university information line, but that might not be of help for you?

Man:  No, not really. 

Woman: Okay. I’ll tell you what, why don’t you give me your contact details and I’ll send a pack out to you. At least that would be a start. 

Man: Okay, sounds good.
