Terry and Sian are having a chat on the telephone. They are at the end of their telephone conversation and they are about to say goodbye to each other. Their goodbye is quite protracted. Listen to the language they use, how many ways of saying goodbye do they use?
Sian: Well, thanks for calling.
Terry: You’re welcome.
Sian: I’ll call you soon, promise.
Terry: I’ll let you go. I know you’re busy.
Sian: Thanks, you’re right. I’m quite busy today.
Terry: Let’s speak again soon.
Sian: Yes, that would be great.
Terry: Bye for now
Sian: Bye, and thanks again for calling.
Terry: You’re welcome. Bye
We usually say ‘bye’ to friends instead of ‘goodbye’ which is a little formal.
We can use a friendly way to say goodbye with friends.
· Bye for now
· Bye now
· Bye bye
It is normal to thank someone for calling at the end of the conversation.
