About Conversation Student 1:
Mr Hobday is the owner of several hotels and a business person called Mr Freshwater is trying to get in touch with him, that´s why he phones to Mr Hobday´s secretary. The secretary answers the phone and Mr. Freswater told her that he is interested to speak with Mr. Hobday, she told him that he is not there now, but if he wants she can take a message. Mr. Freshwater tells her he prefers to phone again later and asks her when he can do it, she asks him for a moment because she needs to look his diary, then, she explains him that her boss will be busy all day and he won´t come back at the office until four o´clock, so Mr Freshwater tells her that he´ll phone then.
Excellent account of the phone conversation MJ. Only that you lack the correct use of prepositions.
ResponderEliminarYour errors are correct like so:
He phones (TO) no!/ he phones Mr Hobday's office.
she told him he was not available THEN/ AT THAT MOMENT.
Change can for COULD. This account is in the past.
She asks him to HOLD ON for a moment.
she looks AT his diary.
She explains TO him her boss won't be back at the office until 16h00.
That's all folks. Good night and sleep tight. See you at 09h30.
