Making a Telephone Call
Clerk:Good morning. Wilson Association。
Brown:This is Mr. Brown speaking. I’d like to speak to Mr. Thomas。
Clerk:I’m sorry, but Mr. Thomas left here just a few minutes ago。
Brown:I’ve been trying to call him for the last ten minutes, but your line was busy. Will he be back soon?
Clerk:I’m afraid not. He is away for the rest of the day。
Brown:Is there other way I can reach him?
Clerk:I’m afraid not. He has gone out of this town on business. May I take a message?
Brown:I have a business appointment with him at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning, but I’m afraid I can’t make it。
Clerk:Would you like to make another appointment?
Brown:Unfortunately, I’m leaving here unexpectedly, and I may be away for several days。
Clerk:I see. I’ll tell Mr. Thomas that you’ve called。
Brown:Thank you。
