Time for a little dictation!

Fill in the blanks to complete the robot's first two sentences.

"Hello and welcome to 1 the San Francisco Symphony Hall booking 2 hotline. Press 3 the pound 4 key 5 after the tone 6 to continue".
1 to: When describing a location, in the imperative voice, "welcome" is always followed by the preposition "to". Example: "Welcome to England", "Welcome to the annual board meeting".
2 booking: "To book" means "to reserve" or "to buy in advance", and is the correct term here. A "booking" is a reservation. Example: "I've booked twenty tickets for the opera tomorrow night".
3 Press: "To press" is "to apply pressure or force", and is the best answer here. We often use this verb to talk about "touching or dialling buttons or keys" on the telephone or a computer keyboard. Example: "If you are calling about a technical problem, press "1" now".
4 pound: The "pound sign" is this symbol: "#". Note that this term is only used in the US: it is called "the hash sign" in British English. Example: "The pound key on my phone is broken". Note also that "pound" has several meanings, both as a noun and a verb. The term "pound" rhymes with "sound", "around", and "found".
5 key: "Key" is the best answer, as part of the two-word term "pound key". This describes the button of a telephone where we find the "#" sign. Example: "Press the star key if you want to talk to an operator".
6 tone: "Tone" is the best choice here. In a telephone context, the "tone" is the "beep" which often indicates the moment at which you can leave a message for the person you are calling. Example: "At the tone, please leave your name and number, and I'll contact you as soon as possible".
