Task 3. Read and translate the text.
At 3 p.m., I get a call from one of our vendors who wants to set up a meeting for the following
week. Since I was away from my desk at the time, she left a voicemail message. When I get
back to my desk, I retrieve the message and listen to it, and then return her call. I call her twice,
but she isn’t there, so I leave a voicemail message for her. We’re playing phone tag. Finally, at
4 p.m., she calls again and since I am at my desk, we can talk at last. Andrea asks me if it is
possible for us to meet early in the week next week. I check my calendar and I tell her that I’m
tied up Monday and Tuesday, but that I’m free Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning.
She says that Wednesday afternoon suits her and asks what time would be good for me. I tell
her the earlier the better, since I will be entertaining clients that night and need to leave work a
little early that day. She suggests 1 p.m. I check my schedule again to confirm that 1 p.m.
Wednesday is free and clear and it is. She says that she will send me an email Wednesday
morning as a reminder and I thank her. After all of that back and forth, we finally have a
meeting set for next week.
