2)Two administrative assistants are rescheduling a meeting. Read the dialogue and choose the best respones. Then listen to the dialogue and check your answers
1-Hello, Mark. What can I do for you?
2-Oh, I'm sorry to hear that
3-Certainly. Let's look at the calendar
4-I won't be avaible on that day. I'll be busy with staff training
5-I've got a staff meeting in the afternoon, but I'm free in the morning
6-Yes, I'll write it in my diary
LUIS- Hello, this is Luis from NextWave Laptops. How can I help you?
LEO- Hello. I’m Leo, I bought a laptop here last week, and it’s already giving me problems
LUIS- I’m sorry to hear that, Leo. What kind of issues are you experiencing?
LEO- The laptop keeps overheating, and it randomly shuts down while I’m working. I didn’t expect that from a brand‑new device
LUIS- That definitely shouldn’t be happening. Have you noticed if it happens during specific tasks, like gaming or running heavy software?
LEO- Not really. It even happens when I’m just browsing the internet
LUIS- I understand. Let me check your purchase and run a quick diagnostic. If it’s a hardware issue, we can replace it or repair it under warranty.
LEO- Honestly, I’d prefer a replacement. I need a reliable laptop for work.
LUIS- That’s completely reasonable. If the diagnostic confirms the defect, we’ll arrange a replacement right away.
LEO- Thanks, call me whenI’ts all finished. Have a good day.
LUIS- You too, Leo. Good bye.
