How to Make a Business Phone Call
Introduce yourself. Start the conversation by introducing yourself - state your name and the
name of your company. After that, state the purpose of your call.
Be polite, brief and informative. Make sure to use polite expressions (e.g. I'm afraid I can't hear
you.) and indirect questions when making requests. (e.g. I would like to...)
Repeat the important information. If you are deciding on some specific details such as the date
and place of a meeting, make sure to repeat it twice so there are no
misunderstandings.
Leave a message. If the recipient is busy, you can leave an informative message. Don’t forget to
mention your contact details before ending the call if you are calling for the first time.
End the call in a pleasant manner. Thank the person for their time and wish them a good day.

1) Listen to the following text and underline all the
verbs in the future tense:
Study Abroad
Soon I will quit my job and move to Europe. I am very excited about it. I will be an exchange
student for one year in France and Spain. I will live in France first for six months, and then I will
move to Spain and I will live there for six months.
In both countries, I will study language at a local university. I do not know French or Spanish now,
so I will likely have trouble when I first move there. Still, I will do my best!
I will live alone, and I am sure I will miss friends, but I hope I will make new friends soon. My best
friend will come out and visit me around New Year. We will probably take a trip to Greece. We
won’t know our plans until later.
I am sure I will have some problems when I first move there. I will have a hard time buying food,
and talking but I am sure I will be fine.
I will miss a lot of things about my country, and I will miss my boyfriend. He will not have time to
visit me, so I won’t see him until I return. I will write him every week when I am there. I think we will
stay together, but I am not sure. I hope we will stay together!
I am sure my life will be different and I will change, but I hope I will change in a good way, and I
hope I won’t regret my decision. As we say, only time will tell!
