Speaking over the Telephone

Part I

Exercise 6.3.1 Read and translate dialogues.

Making an Appointment

I

A: Hello, I’d like to talk to Mr. Smith

B: I’m afraid you have the wrong number. What number were you calling?

A: I was calling 340-175.

B: This is 340-175. But there is no one by the name of Smith here. This is a private residence.

A: I’m sorry to have bothered you.

B: That’s quite all right.

II

A: I’m sorry I can’t hear what you are saying. Could you speak up, please?

B: Hello, hello... Are you there?

A: Your voice is fading and there’s so much background noise interfering. Hello, hello... (No reply). Operator, we had a very bad connection and could scarcely hear each other. Then we were out off completely. Could you help us?

Operator: Yes, sir. I’ll try to do something about it.

III

Secretary: Two-four-nine, double eight-double two.

A: I would like to make an appointment with Mr. Jeffrics. This is Mr. ... speaking.

S: Oh, yes, Mr. ... Good morning. I’ll get his schedule. Are you there?

A: Yes.

S: When would you like to come, Mr. ...?

A: Tomorrow, if possible.

S: I’m afraid he’s tied up tomorrow. Is it urgent? If it is, perhaps we could fit you in somewhere.

A: No, it isn’t that urgent. Is the day after tomorrow possible?

S: What time would you like to come?

A: As late as possible in the afternoon.

S: I’m sorry, that afternoon’s full too. How is Friday afternoon at five?

A: Yes, that’s perfect, thank you. Good bye.

IV

A: Hello. Is this Mr. Summerset? This is Mr. ... speaking.

Mr. S: Hello. How are you?

A: Fine, thanks. Pretty busy. How are you, Mr. Summerset?

Mr. S: O.K. I can’t complain.

A: Glad to hear that. There is something. I’d like to talk to you about. Can we meet early next week?

Mr. S: Sure, with pleasure.

A: Could you come in my office, say, on Monday afternoon?

Mr. S: Let me consult my schedule. Yes, I guess it’ll be all right. What time do you suggest?

A: Suppose we make it 3.30. Will it suit you?

Mr. S: Yes, that’s fine.
