conversation on telephone

Guest   Mon Dec 24, 2007 4:34 am GMT
I am not good at having conversations on the phone.

I have a problem asking specific questions with another person.

Sometimes I do not know how to introduce myself with that person and I do not know how to enquire about things that I wanted to know.

What exactly should I do in order to fix this problem?
Thanks.

say hello, it's me or guess. If you guess you have a chance of knowing who is me. me is the right guess if you guess. once you guessed who is me by guessing, than the guessing of guessing me is over and finally we can guess what to do later.

Sample Dialogue

A. Hello, I am Mr. Ter-ur. How do I buy all cigarets in your Georgian Market?

B. Huh? Whaar ya callin' from buddy? Macon? You need to change cell PHONE companies, y'hear? I cain't HEAR you! What was your name, agin?

A. Hello. I am Guess. You have chance of knowing me.

B. Chance Knowinmee? I reckon that is as strange a name as they come, are you KIN to the Knowinmees from Hinesville?

A. No! Antimoon Adviceman tell me you must guess!

B. Now, I don' like the tone you're using, son. I think you are too old to buy cigarettes, is what I'm thinkin'. You are just going to have to roll your own.

Now, the real advice.


This is ______________. Do you carry ___________(name of item)?
Could you tell me how much that would be? I'm afraid that I don't have a catalog. (a little formal, but it works.)
