English telephone conversation involves lots
of listening skills along with speaking skills. Because
when communicating with the phone, we are only confronted with the voice and
emotions of the other person, without being able to see the expression of the
other person.
every individual
is required to know a special greeting or phrase, commonly done in English
telephone conversations. Whether it's a phone call or
a phone call. Usually the greeting phrase
used by both parties to engage in an English telephone conversation is to use a
formal language.
For that we need
to know the usual greeting sentence made during an english phone conversation.
How to start a phone conversation
A.
When Lifting and Telephone Answering
You can use some
of these phrases when picking up the phone:
·
Hello?
·
Thank you for calling Hana Salon
This method is more formal and generally used by the
receptionist of a place of business / company,
·
Good morning / afternoon / evening,
Hana Salon, nina speaking.
this is a formal way of answering the phone.
B.
Introducing Self
During a
telephone conversation, especially for those who do not know each other, there
will be a time to introduce themselves, both from the side of the caller and
the recipient. Here's how to introduce
myself over the phone in English.
·
Hey Sisty. It's Indri calling
This is an informal way, and this is done by the
caller.
·
Hello, this is Indri calling .
This is a semi-formal way that is generally done
when we call to an institution, place of business, or company.
C.
Ask to connect to others
When we call and
it turns out that the lift is not what we are headed, of course we will ask for
help to connect to our destination. Here's how to pronounce it in
English:
·
May I speak with Patrick, please?
This is a formal and polite way.
·
"Did
Patrick come in?" Or "Is Patrick there?" Or "Can I talk to
Patrick?".
The first two are informal ways while the latter are
more polite.
D.
Request a
repeat of words
Sometimes we are
also less clear to hear speech and the words of the other person. To
submit it in English, do the following:
·
Can you spell it
for me?
·
Can it be
repeated?
·
Can you wait a
minute?
I
have an incoming call.
End the
Conversation
To submit it in
English, do the following:
·
Thank you for
calling.
·
I'll talk to you again soon. Bye.
·
Well, I guess I'd better get
going.
Talk to you soon.
