develop

Start a telephone conversation by introducing yourself: "Hello, I'm Peter Jones. If the other party doesn't specify who he is when you answer the phone, you can say, "Who's calling, please?"? "

Find someone/make a request

If you call a specific person, you must express your intention with polite questions, such as "May I speak to Rachel Smith?" When you only know the extension number but don't know the name of the other party, you can say, "Can I get extension 635?" But if you call for a specific purpose, you'd better say, "I'm calling to make a reservation."

Hold and transfer

"Just a moment, please" means "just a moment" in telephone language. When you need to transfer to another part of the machine, you often hear: "Connecting your call …" or "Please wait a moment, I will transfer you." . If you call a company during busy hours, you may hear a short sentence, "Hello, please wait a moment!" " Before the operator transfers you to another line.

leave a message

Be prepared to leave a message when the caller is not available or can't answer the phone. You can use voice mail (electronic recording system) or answering machine (recording machine on tape). If you are talking to the operator, they will ask, "Do you want to leave a message?" Or you can say, "Can I leave a message? If you want someone to call you back, don't forget to leave your phone number. This is the so-called callback number.

Please ask the speaker to speak slowly.

If you are not sure that you can understand all English conversations, be honest. Tell the other person directly: "My English is not very strong, can you speak slowly?" Most people will praise your honesty and be happy to do so.
