A
Agent
Good morning, Diane Davis. Can I help you?
A
Applicant
Yes, I'd like to get some insurance for the contents of my home.
A
Agent
Fine. When did you move into the house?
A
Applicant
A couple of weeks ago, 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.
A
Agent
Fine. Well, let's get some details. What kind of apartment is it?
A
Applicant
It's a two bedroom apartment.
A
Agent
What floor is it on?
A
Applicant
Why do you need to know that?
A
Agent
Because it affects the cost of the insurance. An apartment on the ground floor is in as protected as others, and there's more chance of a break-in.
A
Applicant
Really? I didn't know that. It's on the third, no. Second floor.
A
Agent
Second. And how much is the rent?
A
Applicant
It's $615 per month.
A
Agent
Good. And where is it located?
A
Applicant
In Big Inn Street, South Hills.
A
Agent
I see. And what things did you want to ensure?
A
Applicant
Well, what do you recommend?
A
Agent
Well, the most important things are those which you would normally find in a home. Things like the television, fridge, and so on.
A
Applicant
I see. Well, I've got a fridge and a stereo system, which I've just bought from a friend.
A
Agent
And how much did you pay for the fridge?
A
Applicant
$450.
A
Agent
That's 50 or 15?
A
Applicant
50. And the stereo system costs $1,150.
A
Agent
Have you got a television?
A
Applicant
Yes, but it's very old and not worth much.
A
Agent
Okay. Well, is there anything else you want to ensure?
A
Applicant
Yes, I've got a couple of watches and my CDs and books.
A
Agent
How much do you think they're worth?
A
Applicant
The watches are worth $1,000.
A
Agent
For both of them?
A
Applicant
No, each one. And altogether, the CDs and books cost me about $400.
A
Agent
Okay. So the value of everything you want to ensure is $4,000.
A
Applicant
How much will the insurance cost?
A
Agent
Let me see. $4,000 divided by plus 10%. Right. So this kind of insurance, that's private contents insurance, it comes to$184 for a 12-month period.
A
Applicant
$184. Well, that sounds pretty good. Okay. I'll take that policy.
A
Applicant
Can I arrange the policy over the phone?
A
Agent
Sure, just let me get the details down. So that's Mr.
A
Applicant
Gavin Murray. That's MU-Double-R-A-Y.
A
Agent
And the address is?
A
Applicant
It's 16-C. Biggins Street. South Hills.
A
Agent
Okay. 16-C. Biggins Street. South Hills?
A
Applicant
That's right. It's two words. South Hills.
A
Agent
And your date of birth is?
A
Applicant
12th of November 1980.
A
Applicant
Agent; And your contact number?
A
Applicant
Home phone number is 98724855.
A
Agent
Right. And your Australian?
A
Applicant
No. I was born in London, although my mother is from Tasmania.
A
Agent
Really? What about?
A
Applicant
Hobart.
A
Agent
I see. Interesting place. Now, are you working at the moment?
A
Applicant
No. I'm a four-time student at Sydney University.
A
Agent
Right. Good.
