Leaving a Message
Sometimes, there may not be anyone to answer the telephone and you will need to leave a message. Follow this outline to make sure that the person who should receive your message has all the information he/she needs.
Introduction - - - - Hello, this is Ken. OR Hello, My name is Ken Beare (more formal).
State the time of day and your reason for calling - - - - - It's ten in the morning. I'm phoning (calling, ringing) to find out if ... / to see if ... / to let you know that ... / to tell you that ...
Make a request - - - - Could you call (ring, telephone) me back? / Would you mind ... ? /
Leave your telephone number - - - - My number is .... / You can reach me at .... / Call me at ...
Finish - - - - Thanks a lot, bye. / I'll talk to you later, bye.
Here's an example of message :
Telephone: (Ring... Ring... Ring...) Hello, this is Tom. I'm afraid I'm not in at the moment. Please leave a message after the beep..... (beep)
Ken: Hello Tom, this is Ken. It's about noon and I'm calling to see if you would like to go to the Mets game on Friday. Could you call me back? You can reach me at 367-8925 until five this afternoon. I'll talk to you later, bye.
As you can see, leaving a message is pretty simple. You only need to make sure that you have stated all the most important information: Your Name, The Time, The Reason for Calling, Your Telephone Number
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어 '~에게 전화해 달라고 전해 주세요'를 직역하면 "tell him"이라고 하기 쉽지만, 영어에서 상대방에게 부탁을 전달할 때는 "ask"를 사용하는 것이 자연스럽습니다. 또한 "call back to me"가 아니라 "call me back"이 올바른 어순입니다. 메시지를 남길 때 정중하게 부탁하는 표현이므로 "Could you ask him to call me back?"처럼 사용하세요.
