READING/LISTENING

Are you a mobile phone addict?


My Blackberry isn't working

Script

C = Customer S = Shopkeeper

C: I bought something from you last week and I’m very disappointed.

S: Oh yeah? What’s the problem?

C: Well, my blackberry is not working

S: What’s the matter? Has it run out of juice?

C: No, no, it’s completely frozen

S: Oh yeah, I can see that. I tell you what, let’s try it on orange.

C: That’s got a few blackspots

S: Oh yes. Sorry about that

C: Well, is there anything I can do to get my blackberry working?

S: Well, it could be an application issue. Where do you store that blackberry?

C: Well, it’s on my desktop

S: Well, you could try using a mouse to drag the blackberry to the trash. Then after you’ve done that, you might want to launch the blackberry from the desktop

C: Well, I’ve already tried that a few times but all it did was mess up windows

S: Well, it might be worth waiting a couple of weeks. They’ve got the latest blackberries coming in then

C: Could you give me a date?

S: Certainly

C: Let me put that date in my diary

S: Anything else I can help you with

C: Yes, yes, I’ve also got a problem to be honest with my apple

S; Ooh dear, oh dear. That is an old apple, isn’t it? When did you buy that?

C: Last week

S: Last week? They’ve bought out 2 new apples since then. What’s the problem with it?

C: Well, I tried to put my dongle in it and it won’t fit

S: Oh yeah? And how big is your dongle?

C: Well I don’t know much about these things, but my wife has seen a few dongles in her time and she said it’s a little bit on the small size.

S: Well I’m afraid there’s not a lot I can do about that. Tell you what, let me try booting it. No…it’s crashed. Anything else I can help you with?

C: Well funnily enough, yes. (It’s) My grandson’s birthday soon, you see. Now he’s already got an apple and a blackberry. I mean have you got anything else he might just like?

S: Well, we’re doing a special offer on these. I mean, I can’t make head or tail of them, but the kids seem to like them: Eggs Box – 360
