Lesson C

I’ve got to get going

1. Conversation strategy

Ending phone conversations

A. Now listen. Why can’t Ling talk longer on the phone?

Hi, Ling. It’s Ramon. Is this a good time to talk?

Um, not really. I’m late for a seminar. I’m going to have to run.

Oh, OK. I just wanted to ask about this weekend.

Well, can I call you back tonight? I’ve got to get going.

OK. I’ll be home after 8:00. I’m going to the gym after work.

Oh, good. I’ll call you later. I’d better go now.

Yeah. So, think about what you want to do on Saturday.

Yeah, I will. Listen, Ramon, I’ve really got to go. I’m already late.

All right. I’ll let you go. By the way, what’s your seminar about?

Being assertive. Bye now!

Oh, OK! Talk to you later.
