Patterns Dialogue I
Secretary: Mr. Wright’s office. Miss Brown’s speaking.
Caller: Mr. Wright there, please?
Secretary: Sorry, but he’s not available just now. May I help you? … or Is there anyone else you’d care to speak to?
Caller: No — when could I reach him?
Secretary: I expect to hear from him in about an hour. … or — He’s at a meeting which will probably last until lunch time. … or He has someone with him just now, I’m not sure how soon he’ll be free. … or — May I tell him who called?
Caller: Well, I’ll call again this afternoon.
Don’t say «He’ busy» … or: «He’s tied up». It is impolite.
Dialogue II
Caller: Would you have him call Philip Ross, please?
Secretary: Will you give me the number please, in case Mr. Wright hasn’t it handy?
Caller: It’s 3-8-4-1-4-3-8.
Secretary: Thank you. I’ll ask him to call as soon as he’s free.
TASK
Make your own dialogue according to the patterns:
Caller: This is Philip Ross. Do you know if he’s had any word on the computers deal yet?
Secretary: No, I don’t — but I know he’d want to speak to you about it. He’s at a meeting , but it ought to break up soon…
