You will hear a presentation by a recruitment officer describing several job opportunities at local hotels. Now listen carefully and answer the questions. I'd like to welcome you to the presentation. It's nice to see so many of you here, and I hope that everybody ends up with suitable employment as a result of attending. Now, as you know, we at Select Hotel Recruitment are able to offer a range of work at the better hotels in the area. This month is no exception, and I'll take you through some of what we have on offer. The first job is Reception Assistant, and there are three vacancies for this position at the Park Hotel. This is quite a varied job and, in fact, I should point out that at certain times of the day it will involve heavy lifting when guests' luggage arrives or perhaps deliveries come in, so bear that in mind when deciding whether to apply for this post. The Park Hotel has quite an international flavour, so you'll need to speak at least two foreign languages. Many guests, of course, travel by car, and you may have to take their vehicles around to the car park, so you will need to have a valid driving licence, and you will not be allowed to do the job if you haven't. They also say that basic computer skills such as word processing would be an advantage, although this isn't a requirement. OK, now, the next job is General Assistant, and there are four vacancies for this at the Avenue Hotel. To be honest, the pay is rather low, but there are compensatory factors that you should bear in mind when considering whether to apply. The hotel will provide you with all your meals while you're working, and they will also train you in all the aspects of the job, and then issue you with a certificate, which, of course, could be very valuable to you in the future. Right, the third job on offer is catering assistant. and Hotel 56 are looking for four people to fill these vacancies at their smart new premises. As you know, this hotel is popular with exclusive travellers, and so you'll need to wear the distinctive staff uniform, which you're provided with. Don't consider this job unless you're fairly flexible about when you work, as the hotel will require you to work nights for this job, and you'll need to travel to and from the hotel, as it's situated just outside the city. Well, that's some basic information about the opportunities we currently have on offer.

Question Focus: The diagram lists a duty for the Reception Assistant at the Park Hotel. We need to identify a physical requirement of this job.

Correct Answer: D

Why this is correct: The diagram asks about a job requirement. You hear the speaker explain that the Reception Assistant role will involve heavy lifting when luggage or deliveries arrive. So the correct label here is heavy lifting.

Passage Reference: This is quite a varied job and, in fact, I should point out that at certain times of the day it will involve heavy lifting when guests' luggage arrives or perhaps deliveries come in

Common Mistake: Some students choose free meals because benefits are mentioned later in the talk. But that belongs to a different hotel and job. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'it will involve heavy lifting' = Diagram: 'job involves heavy lifting'

Tips: For each diagram box, listen for a clear job duty or requirement, not general descriptions.

Key Vocabulary:

  • luggage = bags
  • deliveries = goods brought to a place

Question Focus: The diagram shows another requirement for the Reception Assistant related to transport.

Correct Answer: A

Passage Reference: Many guests, of course, travel by car, and you may have to take their vehicles around to the car park, so you will need to have a valid driving licence, and you will not be allowed to do the job if you haven't.

Why this is correct: The diagram asks what is required to do part of the job. The speaker clearly says you need a valid driving licence and you cannot do the job without it. That directly matches driving licence.

Common Mistake: Some students think of travel allowance because cars are mentioned. But no money for travel is offered. This is a paraphrase trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'need to have a valid driving licence' = Diagram: 'requires driving licence'

Tips: When you hear strong language like 'will not be allowed', that signals an important requirement.

Key Vocabulary:

  • valid = official and accepted
  • licence = legal permission

Question Focus: The diagram now moves to the General Assistant job at the Avenue Hotel and asks about a benefit.

Correct Answer: C

Passage Reference: The hotel will provide you with all your meals while you're working

Why this is correct: The diagram is asking about a benefit of the General Assistant role. You hear that the hotel will provide you with all your meals, which means free meals.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose training certificate here because training is mentioned in the same sentence. But that is a separate benefit and fits a different box. This is a sequence trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'provide you with all your meals' = Diagram: 'free meals'

Tips: If two benefits are mentioned together, listen carefully and match them to different diagram positions.

Key Vocabulary:

  • provide = give
  • meals = food

Question Focus: The diagram continues with another benefit of the General Assistant job.

Correct Answer: F

Passage Reference: they will also train you in all the aspects of the job, and then issue you with a certificate, which, of course, could be very valuable to you in the future.

Why this is correct: The diagram asks what you receive after training. The speaker says they will train you and issue you with a certificate, so the correct label is training certificate.

Common Mistake: Some students select website maintenance because it sounds work-related. But this job has nothing to do with computers or websites. This is a distractor trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'issue you with a certificate' = Diagram: 'training certificate'

Tips: Listen for cause and result language like 'train you and then issue you' to match benefits correctly.

Key Vocabulary:

  • issue = give officially
  • certificate = official document

Question Focus: The final diagram box refers to working hours for the Catering Assistant job.

Correct Answer: E

Passage Reference: Don't consider this job unless you're fairly flexible about when you work, as the hotel will require you to work nights for this job

Why this is correct: The diagram asks about working time. The speaker warns that you will need to work nights, which matches late shifts.

Common Mistake: Many students choose flexible working week because the word 'flexible' is used. But flexibility here refers to accepting nights, not choosing your schedule. This is a paraphrase trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'work nights' = Diagram: 'late shifts'

Tips: Do not match single words. Always match the full meaning of the sentence you hear.

Key Vocabulary:

  • nights = late hours
  • shifts = work periods

General Tips:

  • Diagram answers follow the order of the recording. Move from top to bottom as you listen.
  • Each job is described separately. Do not mix benefits or duties from different hotels.
  • Listen for signpost words like 'the next job' to know when the topic changes.
  • If the speaker corrects or adds detail, the final detail is usually the answer.
  • Cross out used options so you do not reuse the same word twice.
