Telephoning

-You haven’t spoken to your friend Mark for a while. What do you say when his wife answers the telephone?

Hello! Could I speak to Mark, please?

-What do you say when he comes to the phone?

Hi! It’s Robert here. I was just ringing to find out how you are.

(This tells the other person that you’ve rung just to be friendly, not

because of some important news.)

A friend offers to find you a phone number. You ring her or him- late at night and don’t want a conversation. What do you say?

I’m sorry to ring so late. I just wanted to ask you for that phone number.

(“Just” is used here to tell someone that it will be a short phone call.)

-You phone a friend for an address but have a long talk before you ask for it. What do you say?

Actually, the real reason I phoned was because I need an address.

 (Remember that “actually” means “to tell the truth”.)

-You need to rent a flat and see one advertised in the local newspaper. What do you say when you call?

Hello! I’m ringing about the flat you advertised in the local newspaper.

(flat = apartment, call = telephone)
