Worksheet 3: Phone enquiry dialogue

Read the dialogue.

Receptionist: / Good morning, Ellis English Centre. Maria speaking.
David: / Hello, it’s David speaking. I‘m phoning about learning English.
Receptionist: / Yes David, how can I help you?
David: / Well, when I was in the centre yesterday I got a brochure about the different programs.
Receptionist: / Yes.
David: / And on the brochure it says you can have a volunteer tutor. Can you give me some more information about that please?
Receptionist: / Yes, sure. A volunteer tutor is someone who comes to your house and helps you with English.
David: / Is it a teacher?
Receptionist: / No. It’s just someone from the community who helps you. They don’t get paid. They come to your house about once a week or whenever it suits you.
David: / Oh, that’s nice. Could I have a volunteer tutor and go to classes too?
Receptionist: / Well, it depends how many hours a week your class is. What class did you have in mind?
David: / Well, I work part-time so I want to do evening classes.
Receptionist: / Yes, OK. That would be fine. You can go to class for 5 hours a week and have a home tutor as well.
David: / Oh, great. When can I start?
Receptionist: / Well, first you need to make an appointment with the counsellor. Can you come in tomorrow?
David: / Yes, no problems.
Receptionist: / Good, how about 10am?
David: / Yes, that would be OK.
Receptionist: / Great. We’ll see you at 10 o’clock then and, oh… can you please bring your passport?
David: / Yes, sure. Do I need to bring anything else?
Receptionist: / No, that’s all. We’ll see you tomorrow then.
David: / OK. Thanks. Bye.
