                   Dalam pembelajaran ini kita akan membahas lebih spesifik tentang bagaimana
                   berbicara lewat telephone dalam situasi tertentu. Telephone merupakan hal umum
                   yang telah menjadi bagian dari kehidupan kita sehari-hari. Di era modern telephone
                   yang sekarang lebih dikenal handphone (HP), hampir semua orang memiliki dan tahu
                   cara bagaimana menggunakannya. Dengan demikian pada saat berbicara lewat HP

                   Taking simple phone message is something that is important and useful in every
                   language. At home or at work, we might need this skill when we receive a call on the
                   phone and need to pass a message for others. We'll discuss how to take a simple
                   phone message in this post.


                   Discussion

                   We often find ourselves in a situation when we receive a phone call for someone
                   who's not there and there's a message we need to take for that person. There are some
                   useful different phrases we can use for that.


                   When calling someone

                   - Hello, can I speak to [name], please?


                   - Good morning/afternoon. This is [your name]. I would like to speak to [name].

                   If you're the caller and the person you want to talk to is not there, you can leave a
                   message. Here's some other useful phrases you can use.

                   - I would like to speak to [name] about ...


                   - Could you ask [name] to call me back at ... pm?

                   - Do you know when he/she will be back?


                   When receiving the call

                   - Hello, [your name] speaking.


                   - Good morning/afternoon. [your name] speaking.

                   - Good morning/afternoon. This is [your company name and your name] speaking.
                   May I help you?

                   When a caller asks for someone who's not there


                   - I'm sorry. He/she is not at home/in the office at the moment. ... [provide the reason
                   here]. May I take a message?


                   - [Name] is not here, yet. Can I take a message?
