PASSAGE 3
It is not good manners to stop a person on the
street or in a shop, or in the performance of any
duty and to talk to him for ten, fifteen or twenty
minutes just to pass the time of day. We can tell
that a person is in a hurry to get somewhere, or
he is doing something, and we know enough not
to interrupt him for any length of time. Yet some
of us think nothing of calling someone on the
telephone, interrupting him without a thought
about what he may be doing, and chattering away,
forgetting about time or anything else. Perhaps
we don't consider our telephone conversation an
interruption because we don't see what we have
interrupted. Naturally we must observe the
common courtesies over the telephone. But we
must remember that one of the courtesies of
telephoning is to be brief.
Never ask anybody to guess who you are. The
person you are telephoning may not be in a
guessing mood. If you know him, you may want
to ask after the state of his health and that of his
family, but as soon as you possibly can, do get on
with your business. He certainly wants to know
why you are telephoning him. When you are
finished with your business, you might take a
moment to observe the natural courtesies of
conversation, expressing your thanks before
ending your call.
From the way the telephone is used in your
home, you would hardly suspect that this is an
instrument on which very important business
transactions are conducted. There are times
when even you are called upon to be business
like, brief, and effective on the telephone.
126. How can we make the best of a telephone?
(A) By being elaborate
(B) By being brief, effective and business
like

(A) be business like
(B) ask people to guess who you are

(A) We know enough not to interrupt
someone
(B) We don't know enough to interrupt
someone
(C) We can interrupt anyone on the
telephone
