W: Good morning. Can I help you?
M: Yes, [1]I’d like to get some insurance for the contents of my home.
W: Fine. When did you move into the house?
M: A couple of weeks ago, [1]and it’s an apartment actually. I was told by the landlord that it would be a good idea to get some insurance for the furniture and other personal possessions.
W: Fine. Well, let’s get some details. What kind of apartment is it?
M: It’s a two-bedroom apartment.
W: What floor is it on?
M: Why do you need to know that?
W: [2]Because it affects the cost of the insurance. An apartment on the ground floor isn’t as protected as others and there’s more chance of a break-in.
M: Really? I didn’t know that. It’s on the third, no, second floor.
W: Second... and how much is the rent?
M: It’s $615 per month.
W: Good. And where is it located?
M: In Biggins Street, South Hills.
W: I see. And what things did you want to insure?
M: Well, what do you recommend?
W: Well, the most important things are those which you would normally find in a home. Things like the television, fridge and so on.
M: I see. Well, I’ve got a fridge and a stereo system which I’ve just bought from a friend.
W: And how much did you pay for the fridge?
M: Er, $450.
W: 50 or 15?
M: 50, [3]and the stereo system costs $1,150.
W: OK. Well, is there anything else you want to insure?
M: Yes, I’ve got a couple of watches and my CDs and books.
W: How much do you think they’re worth?
M: The watches are worth $1,000...
W: For both of them?
M: No, each one and, all together, the CDs and books cost me about $400.
W: OK, so the value of everything you want to insure is $4,000.
M: How much will the insurance cost?
W: Let me see, $4,000 divided by... plus 10%... right, so this kind of insurance, er, that’s Private Contents insurance, it comes to $184.00 for a twelve-month period.
M: $184. Well, that sounds pretty good. OK, I’ll take that policy.
M: Can I arrange the policy over the phone?
W: Sure, just let me get the details down. So that’s Mr...
M: Gavin Murray, that’s M-U-R-R-A-Y.
W: And the address is?
M: It’s 16C Biggins Street, South Hills.
W: Right, are you Australian?
M: No... [4]I was born in London, although my mother is from Tasmania.
W: Now, are you working at the moment?
M: No, [5]I’m a full-time student at Sydney University.
W: Right, good.
