Telephone Conversation Examples
We are now going to take a look at some examples of telephone conversation in both a formal and informal situation. This is designed to give you a clearer understanding of how these conversations function in day to day life.
The first example that we are going to see is a telephone conversation which is taking place between a person in their place of work and someone who has called up to speak to the top boss.
Receptionist: “Good morning, High tech industries, Emily speaking. How may I help you?”
Client: “Good day to you, I am calling to speak with Mr. Johnson.”
Receptionist: “I am afraid that Mr. Johnson is in a meeting all morning, can I ask who is calling please?”
Client: “This is Mr. Williams, a client with whom he has been dealing.”
Receptionist: “Thank you, Mr. Williams, would you like to leave a message?”
Client: “No, thank you. Could you please have him return my call at his earlier convenience.”
Receptionist: “Of course, that won’t be a problem. Was there anything else I could help you with, Sir?”
Client: “That will be all, thank you for your time.”
Receptionist: “The pleasure is all mine. Good day, Sir.”
The next telephone conversation is in an informal tone and is taking place between two friends arranging to meet with each other.
Person 1: “Hey John!”
Person 2: “Hey, how’s it going?”
Person 1: “Great. I was just calling to see if you wanted to meet up this weekend?”
Person 2: “Yeah, I’d love to. Where were you thinking?”
Person 1: “I thought we could go to that bar we like.”
Person 2: “OK, I’ll meet you there at 8 pm on Friday. Did you need anything else while I’ve got you on the line?”
Person 1: “No, nothing else, I’ll see you on Friday.”
Person 2: “Catch you later, good to talk to you.”
Person 1: “Bye.”
