1. You are in a hotel. You need to make an overseas call to your wife. You do not know how to make an outside
call. Therefore, you call the operator to:

a. Ask how much the charge for an overseas call
b. Place a call for you

Sample answer:
Hello. I need to make an overseas call to my wife in Sri Lanka. It is my first time here, so I am not familiar with the hotel policies. How much is
the charge per minute? If you do not mind, please place a call for me. Thank you so much. Have a nice evening!

2. You are talking to your friend through your mobile phone. He is inviting you to have coffee at Doutor. You are
in the mall to buy some gifts for your family. You are informing him that you will call him if you can meet him
later at a different place.

a. call him again at 7:00 P.M
b. Gateau de Manille

Sample answer:
I am here at Causeway Point. I am buying some gifts for my family. I am sorry but I cannot meet you now. I will call you at about 7:00 P.M if I
can have coffee with you. I guess it is better if we will meet at Gateau de Manille instead. I hope its okay with you.
