     EXERCISE 4. Leaving messages on answering machines
     When there is no – one in the office many companies use tele-
phone answering machines. People who phone in leave a message
on the machine. But even people who have spoken English all
their lives can have difficulty speaking to a machine! Here is a

(2) who the message is for; (3) what the message is; (4) what ac-
