Bob: This isn't right. Hey! Excuse me, Paul, could you pass me the hammer?
Paul: Sorry, Bob, my ears are blocked. I can't hear you very well. Could you say that again, please?
Bob: The hammer. Please could you pass it to me?
Paul: The spanner?
Bob: No. The hammer!
Paul: Sorry, Bob, I don't understand. This is the spanner!
Bob: No, Paul, I need the hammer. It's in the toolbox, on the left, under the scissors.
Paul: Sorry, Bob. Could you repeat that more slowly, please?
Bob: The hammer … in the toolbox … on the left … under the scissors.
Paul: On the left … under the scissors … Oh! Do you mean the hammer? Is this it?
Bob: Yes, that's right!
Paul: Ah! Why didn't you say so?
Bob: I did!

good thank you
hi i cant seem to find the video for task 3 the receptionist and caller
thanks
Hello Vicksta,
I'm afraid there is no video for Task 3. The idea is to use some of the language from the video, but this time in a phone call instead of a conversation in the office.
I'll give you a hint: the answer for the first gap is 'sorry'.
Hope this helps you.
All the best,
Kirk
