Dick: Hello, this is Dick, your mobile phone battery supplier.
Jenny: Hi, Dick. Glad to hear from you again. What’s on your mind?
Dick: We’ve produced a new battery that is inexpensive, but powerful. It can last a long time.
Jenny: We’ve already got a goof selection. What’s so special about your new product?
Dick: Well, could you arrange for me to meet your boss Linda? Then I’ll go into details.
Jenny: OK, when can you come?
Dick: I was hoping to get together with Linda this week, if possible. I want to get going on this right away.
Jenny: Let me check her timetable…Yes, she’s completely free Thursday
Dick: Why not meet at about ten in the morning at your office?
Jenny: Sound good. Let me say it again: We’ll look forward to seeing you at ten on Thursday.
Dick: I’m sure it’ll be a rewarding meeting. Thank you. Good-bye.
[Later]
Jenny: Hello. Is Dick there, please?
Dick: Hello. Dick speaking.
Jenny: Hi, Dick, this is Jenny. Something unexpected has come up. I’m afraid we have topostpone the meeting with you on Thursday.
Dick: That’s disappointing. When can we meet?
Jenny: Linda has to put the meeting off until sometime on Friday. Will that suit you?
Dick: I’m afraid I can’t go on Friday. I’ll be flying to another city on business.
Jenny: Then could you come after five on Thursday?
Dick: Certainly, Can we make it five thirty then?
Jenny: Five thirty’s perfect. Linda will be waiting for you at five thirty on Thursday.
Dick: Ok. Great! Thanks. Bye.
