Today, let’s look at how to introduce yourself on the telephone.
When you answer the phone in English, what should you say?
|
A) Hello, I am John speaking.
B) Hello, this is John speaking. C) G’day, John is talking. |
The correct answer is: B!
Yes! On the phone we us the phrase ”This is …. speaking”.
So how about in business calls?
The same thing! The phone rings… You can say:
“Australia Corporation, this is John speaking. How may I help you?”
PRACTICE:
IN THE COMMENTS, RECORD YOURSELF ANSWERING THE PHONE.
You can either TYPE your answer, or RECORD yourself using ‘add audio only comment’. (You need a microphone to record yourself!)

Hi Roberta – You are welcome!
Imad – Glad you like it! I hope we can help you! Your recording is silent. Did you use a microphone? You need a microphone in your computer to use the recorder. You can also use a webcam.
