ABC Travel. May I help you?

Hello. May I speak to Mr. Brown, please? This is Tom Reed calling.

I'm sorry, Mr. Brown isn't here right now. Would you like to leave a message?

Yes, please. Could you ask him to call me? My number is 555-3456.

Of course. I'll give him your message.

Thank you very much. Good-bye!

Hello?

Hello. Can I speak to Mike, please?

Mike? There's no one by the name Mike here. What number are you calling?

Is this 555-1207?

No, it isn't. You have the wrong number.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hello. Is Alex there, please?

Speaking.

Hi, Alex! This is Tom. How are you?

Fine, thanks. And you?

Fine, thank you. Listen, we're having a picnic on Sunday. Would you like to join us?

I'd love to, but I have a test on Monday and I have to study.

Sorry to hear that. Well, maybe some other time. See you!
