Esercizio 4
Time for a little dictation! Jean has been practising how to answer the telephone in English. Fill in the blanks below with the terms Jean uses in the dialogue! You need to write one word in each blank!
Jean: Hello. You are to the Delavigne IT department. Jean Marron . may I help you?
Jean: Hello. You are to the Delavigne IT department. Jean Marron . may I help you?
Time for a little dictation! Jean has been practising how to answer the telephone in English. Fill in the blanks below with the terms Jean uses in the dialogue! You need to write one word in each blank!
Jean: Hello. You are through 1 to the Delavigne IT department. Jean Marron speaking 2. how 3 may I help you?
Jean: Hello. You are through 1 to the Delavigne IT department. Jean Marron speaking 2. how 3 may I help you?
1 through: "Through" is the right term here. The expression "You're through to (the Sales team)" is often used on the telephone to tell the person you're talking to who and where you are! There is also a related verb: "to put someone through (to...)". Here's another example: "One moment please, I'll put you through to Bruno Delavigne's office".
2 speaking: "Speaking" is the right answer. This construction is often used to introduce yourself on the telephone: "Delavigne Corporation, Polly Watson speaking". Note that "speaking" can be used alone in a slightly different context: "-Hello, I would like to talk to Polly Watson please. -Speaking!". This means that Polly is already the person on the telephone.
3 how: "How may I help you?" is a polite way of asking the person you're speaking to what they want. Note that we can also say "How can I help you?", although this is slightly less formal.

1 speaking: "Speaking" is the right answer here. We often say "(Bruno Delavigne) speaking" when we answer the phone, in order to introduce ourselves to the caller. This is a polite construction that's very useful in a business context!
2 calling: The verb "to call" is a very common synonym of "to phone". Example: "I'm busy right now. Can you CALL me again in half an hour?". In the conversation, Brian asks, "Who's calling please?".
3 hold: "Hold the line" is a common request to a caller to wait, either for the call to be transferred or for the party to come to the phone.
4 moment: "At the moment" means "now" or "currently", and it is the best choice here to express a temporary absence. It is a polite construction. Example: "I'm away on business at the moment but you can contact my assistant"
5 take: "Can I take a message" is the best and most common way to suggest that the caller leave a message for you to pass on when the person they want to speak to becomes available. We can also say "Would you like to leave a message?".
6 pass on: "To pass on (a message)" is to communicate, to transmit, or to give somebody (a message). At the end of the dialogue, Brian says to Mr. Floss, "I'll pass on your message".
