TOPIC: LEAVING MESSAGES
Phoning with a Point Certain skills are particularly useful during phone conversations such as asking for clarification, putting someone on hold, ending a conversation, and giving a reason you cannot speak at that moment. How often do you call someone only to get their voicemail instead? It’s a fact of life in today’s world. You have to be ready before every phone call to leave a message.
What Did He Say? Part of understanding a phone conversation is understanding what the person on the other end of the line says. This isn’t always clear, so this activity is a type of information gap which allows students to practice their inference skills.
VOCABULARY brief, call back, call back number, identify, leave, message, regarding, repeat, unavailable, voicemail.
