1.If you’re looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, just pick up the telephone. Not being able to see the person you’re talking to and the body language they’re using can make chatting on the phone one of the most difficult forms of communication.Never fear, though! Here are some tips to guide you through an average telephone conversation in English.
Greetings
2.Even if you’re calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it’d be rude to jump right into business without a little small talk at the beginning.
Getting to the point
There always comes the point, however, where you want to move on from friendly banter and get down to business. 3.If you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying, “So what can I do for you？”
Interrupting without insult (冒犯)
If you happen to be speaking with a very talkative person, and you’d like to interrupt, be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I would like to say something here, if I may” or “Allow me to make a point”．
Closing the call
4.Sometimes it’s easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also, keep in mind that strategically (策略地)saying the word “well” at the beginning of a sentence can indicate that you are ready to end the conversation: 5..
A. It may be the time to offer some good wishes, such as “good luck on that interview”．
B. Believe it or not, talking on the phone can improve your English.
C. You should pick up the phone and say “Hello”．
D. Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting, such as “Hi, how’ve you been？”
E. You can also make friends by talking to others on the phone.
F. For this situation, use the phrase “I’m just calling to”．
G. Well Jone, it’s been a pleasure talking to you.
