Full Conversation

Professional

Thank you for joining the call. I would like to confirm the main requirement before we begin the next step.

Client

Yes, of course. Give me the update and we can check the next step.

Professional

My understanding is that you need the first draft by Friday and the final version next Wednesday.

Client

That sounds clear. Let us make sure the responsibility and timing are understood.

Professional

Great. I just want to make sure I have understood everything correctly before we continue.

Client

No problem. It is always better to confirm the details than to guess.

Professional

Could you confirm who will approve the draft so we send it to the right person?

Client

Yes, that is the right interpretation.

Professional

Okay, I understand. Let me repeat the main point in my own words so I remember it.

Client

Perfect. Go ahead. If anything is missing, I will correct it.

Professional

Great. I will send a short summary after this call with the timeline and responsibilities.

Client

Perfect. Send the update when it is ready and let me know early if anything changes.

Professional

Thank you. That makes the situation much easier for me.

Client

You are welcome. I am glad we could sort it out clearly.

Useful Expressions

  • Do you have a minute?
  • Could you explain the priority?
  • Is that correct?
  • I’ll update you.

Speak it aloud

Read the conversation once. Then choose one role and speak only that role aloud. On the second round, close the page after each line and try to respond naturally in your own words.

Practise This Situation with Timer

Practice Challenge

Keep the same situation but change two details. For example, change the time, place, problem, preference or reason. Try to continue the conversation for one extra minute without reading.
