First - on my own. Then - role play with a friend.

This Friday. Junebug Art Gallery

Greeting:Hi. My name is Veronika I’m calling to speak with you about placing my art in your gallery.Permission:Did I catch you at a good time?Introduction:I am a local artist and I have a substantial body work for sale.Benefit:I believe that my work would be a perfect fit with your gallery.Request:Do you accept local submissions? And if so, what is the process?Next step:Can I book a time with you to show you some of my work?Closing:Thank you so much. It was great speaking to you. I look forward to our meeting.

In general, the person on the phone understood me. All my practise pronouncing the words really helped.

I said, “Did I catch a good time?” I was supposed to say, “Did I CATCH YOU AT a good time?” The person on the phone said, “pardon me?”This made me more nervous. I forgot a lot of the things that I wanted to say. I used only one of the phrases that I had learned correctly.I forgot to ask for a meeting.

I should do more practice with the phrases. I will ask my friend to rehearse with me tonight. I will call another gallery.

Visualize my art in the gallery!

notebook

Adjective

convenient

“I would like to arrange a time to meet that is convenient for you.”

There is a small store near my home with a sign that says, “convenience store.” Its location is “convenient” for me when I suddenly need milk or bread. I think of this store when I want to remember the word “convenient.”

useful to you because it saves you time, or does not spoil your plans or cause you problems

It requires little effort. It fits well with your needs and activities.

Kǝn ‘vi nyǝnt

The stress is on the second syllable.

suitable, useful, condusive

mutually convenient, most convenient, very convenient

This word brings up a “positive” feeling. It can be used in formal or informal situations, both written and spoken.

I haven’t used this word yet. But I’m looking for opportunities.

2 > Function What does it mean? How is it used?

The Second Conditional—a structure used to describe unlikely situations.

“If I were you, I would find out all I can about the company before calling.”Why “I were” instead of “I was”?I Googled - ESL, “if I were you” -I learned about Second Conditionals. I also learned that “If I were you…” is often used to give advice.

Beyonce’s song “If I Were a Boy”

Consists of 2 clauses: “if” clause & main clauseIF-clause:If + subject + past tense verb + object/compliment. E.g. If Kate won the lotteryMain clause:Subject + would + main verb + object/compliment. E.g. she would quit her job.Together:If Kate won the lottery, she would quit her job.

Second Conditionals are used to describe an unreal or very unlikely future. Because the condition (if-clause” isn’t’ real, the outcome (main clause) will likely never occur.My original encounter (“If I were you…”) - no other person could ever be me. However, this is an expression that we can use to give advice to someone else.

Many English songs use this construction (e.g. If I had A Million Dollars). I will find more songs and sing along.

Show the receptionist respect.

Speaking to the receptionist of a company.

On pg. 147 of my book it says: “Show the receptionist respect-the same as you would show her boss. Many executives give their assistants the responsibility of screening their calls.

imagine receptionist wearing a crown

Back home, I would have expected the receptionist to transfer me directly to the manager. I wouldn’t have spent much time speaking with her.

I’m glad I learned about this.

I will pay more attention tohow power is distributed inthis society.

When I call the art gallery, I will make sure I become “friends” with the receptionist and make a good impression.
