Conversation 1
F: Hello, this is First Direct, how can I help you?
M:  This is Ahmed Aziz speaking.  Er,  I’m interested in opening an account with you, but I have a couple of questions.
F: What exactly would you like to know, Mr. Asiz?
M: First of all, if I bank with you, how do I pay money into my account?
F: Well, as you probably know, First Direct is a part of the Midland Bank. That means you can pay into your First Direct account at any of their branches.
M: I see. Er, do they charge me for that?
F: No, that’s free.
M: OK. Right. The other thing I wanted to know was: do you pay interest on current accounts?
F: Yea, we do. As long as your account is in credit. The interest is then calculated daily, and we add it to your account at the end of each month.
M: Uh huh.
F: Is there anything else you’d like to know, Mr. Aziz?
M: No, I think that’s all for the time being. Thank you.
F: Thank you for calling, Mr. Aziz. Goodbye.

M: Phoenix Ms. Good morning.
F: This is Jennifer Austin from Leroy Motors. Could I speak to Leo Dayton, please?
M: I’m afraid he’s not in at the moment. Can I give him a message?
F: Well, I’m ringing about a reprint of one of our brochures. I asked him to do it six weeks ago and we’re still waiting for them. If I remember rightly, I did say it was rather urgent.
M: I’ll get him to call you back as soon as he comes in, Ms. Austin.
F: Thank you very much.
Conversation 5
F: This is Jennifer Austin speaking.
M: Leo Dayton from Phoenix Ms. I understand there’s been a problem with an order.
F: That’s right. I asked you to do a reprint of our A90 brochure some time ago and we still don’t have it.
M: Yes. I’ve just been trying to find out what happened. It seems some urgent work came in and your order got overlooked.  I’m really sorry.
F:  I see.  Well,  the problem is we have an exhibition coming up at the beginning of next month and we’ll want to have them for then. How soon can you get them done?
M: Would the end of the week be OK?
F: That’d be great.
M: Right, then. I’ll see that you get them by Friday. And I’m really sorry about this.
F: Don’t worry.
