How To Use These Phrases In Your English

1 is used to say we will phone someone at some time in the future. We can also say 'I'll get back to you' if someone has asked us for specific information that we don't have now.

You hear 2 on an answerphone, asking people to say why they were calling.

You use 3 to say who you are at the beginning of a call.

We use 4 to check someone knows that we called and left a message before.

5 is a common question if the person you want to talk to is not the person who answers the phone.

Now we all have mobiles, we often start conversations by asking where someone is.

7 is used when you have left a message for someone, and they are now calling back.

8 is like 2. We say 'beep' or 'tone' meaning the noise that indicates you can leave a message.

I went to Mediateca in September 24th 2012, I watched the movie Ice Age who's fun and teaches ypu about friendship, I learned the name of animals like, sloth, squirel, mammoth, etc. I also read the small biography of Michael Jordan, this is interesting becouse he had dedicated a lot to basketball and you can see vocabulary with words like dude and some of slang.

4.- 12:50 - 14:30
I went to mediateca in October 4th, and I took my own movie wich name is Emergo, I could saw it but I had to do 50 verds in spanish, present and past whose were in the movie, I leant in this movie some words about gosths like spiritualism, possesed, exorcism, It was interesting and I had a good time watching the movie, and I commented with my friend and we said it's pretty wire.
