LESSON 18
I’m phoning to arrange an appointment

David: Education Department.

Rachel: Hi, David. It’s Rachel. Can I speak to Jenny, please?

David: Oh, hi Rachel. I’m sorry; she’s on the other line right now. Can I help?

Rachel: Well, actually, I’m phoning to arrange an appointment. She wanted to see me about the schools’ project - towards the end of this week, I think she said…

David: OK, let me see … how about Thursday morning?

Rachel: I can’t make it in the morning, I’m afraid. I’m over at the other site. Can Jenny do the afternoon?

David: No, she’s got a meeting for most of the afternoon. What about Friday then?

Rachel: Sure. Sometime in the morning?

David: Yes, I think the best time would be about 11.

Rachel: Fine by me. So, 11 a.m. this Friday.

David: It’s in the diary Rachel. See you then!

Rachel: Will do. Thanks David, bye!
