Book an appointment in English: Phone conversation
Call par apna naam, date aur time saaf batayein. Appointment book karne aur time badalne ki English practice karein.
What you will practice
Aap phone par appointment maang sakenge, doosra time suggest kar sakenge aur final details repeat karke confirm kar sakenge.
Phone par saamne wale ka chehra nahi dikhta, isliye naam, date aur time saaf kehna aur dobara confirm karna useful hai. Call se pehle do possible time slots likh lein.
Is dialogue mein Nitin apni bicycle ki service ke liye shop ko call kar rahe hain. Yahi appointment pattern salon, course office ya repair centre mein bhi use kiya ja sakta hai.
Call ka purpose pehle batayein
Greeting ke baad apna naam aur call ka reason batayein. Phone par apni pehchaan ke liye this is wala pattern natural hai. Appointment maangne ke liye would like to book ya can I book use kar sakte hain.
Ek hi sentence mein bahut saari dates dene ke bajay pehle apna preferred din poochhein. Agar woh available nahi hai, toh doosra slot maangein. Aapko har offered time accept karna zaroori nahi.
Din, time aur jagah dobara sunein
Sirf three kehne ki jagah three in the afternoon ya three p.m. bolein, taaki time saaf ho. Date aur weekday dono batane se pehle calendar mein check karein ki woh match karte hain. Number ya naam galat suna ho toh digits ya spelling dobara poochhein.
Call khatam karne se pehle din, time, branch aur saath laane waali cheezein confirm karein. Line clear nahi hai toh dheere bolne ko kahein. Real call mein personal details dene se pehle check karein ki aap sahi office ya shop se baat kar rahe hain.
