Exercise 1
Which of the following phrases could replace Icarus's opening line – It would be my pleasure!?
Which of the following phrases could replace Icarus's opening line – It would be my pleasure!?
This is not the correct choice. Icarus would sound very reluctant to help Hannah if he had written this as his opening line. It is not a suitable alternative.
This is not the correct choice. Although we sometimes feel like saying this to people at work, calling somebody's request "trivial" is very impolite. Icarus would never be so rude!
This choice is correct. This is quite a formal phrase used often in business contexts to express your willingness to help. It would be a suitable alternative to Icarus's opening line.
This is a correct answer. This expression is a polite and very common way of saying you want to deal with somebody's request.
This is incorrect. Telling someone you have no time to help them is considered very bad business practice. If you have no time to speak to someone, there are polite ways of dealing with them. For example: "I'm so sorry, but I can't deal with your request just at this moment. Can we arrange another time to meet?"
