     EXERCISE 1. At reception
     To explain why you are there, say: I have an appointment
with (Miss Rush in Pesonnel). If you want other things too, say:
But first, could you tell me (where the toilet is)?
     Now, at reception, ask for the following people and informa-
tion. The receptionist say: Can I help you?
     1. Miss Jones/Personnel/toilet.
     2. Jim Ludd/Accounts/telephone.
     3. Mrs. Sindon/Operations/tell me if Mr. East is in.
     4. Sam Higgins/Buying Department/the name of the chief buyer.
     5. Margaret Conrad/Public Relations/Miss or Mrs.?

     EXERCISE 2. Getting past the secretary
     If you make a «cold call» (without an appointment), you could
have difficulty in getting past the secretary of the person you want
to see. Here are a few suggestions of things you might say to the
secretary.
     1. I don’t mind waiting until he’s free.
     2. I’m sorry, I tried to ring in advance, but I couldn’t get
through.
     3. Could I have a word with him on the phone?
     4. Would you tell him I’m here, please?
     5. I’m sure he’d be sorry if we weren’t able to meet.
