Full Conversation

Caller

Hello, I am calling to confirm my appointment for tomorrow morning.

Receiver

Certainly. Let me check that for you.

Caller

Could you tell me the exact time again, please?

Receiver

Yes, of course. I can help you with that.

Caller

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

Receiver

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

Caller

I have written it down as ten-thirty. Should I arrive a few minutes early?

Receiver

That is clear. Let me confirm the detail for you.

Caller

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

Receiver

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

Caller

Thank you. I will be there by ten-fifteen.

Receiver

Of course. I will take care of that now.

Caller

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

Receiver

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

Useful Expressions

  • Could you please…?
  • If I understand correctly…
  • Could you say that again, please?
  • Thank you. That’s clear now.

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.
