Lesson 13:    On the Telephone III

Could I have your company address, please?

There will obviously be times when you need to get information. And the telephone is the solution when you can't speak to someone face to face. Again it is important to learn how to use Could when making requests. Look at the dialog below and notice how often Could and please are used.

A: Channing and Associates. This is Becky Inman speaking. 
Can I help you?
B: Yes, please. This is Martha Miller calling from Adeline Industries. Could I have your company address, please?
A: Certainly. It's Channing and Associates .. new line .. 454 West Coverdale Avenue .. new line .. Seattle, Washington. The zip code 
is 49082-5571.
B: Could you spell Channing, please?
A: Sure. It's C-H-A-N-N-I-N-G.
B: OK. And could you tell me the zip code again, please?
A: Certainly. It's 49082-5571.
B: I'm sorry. It's difficult to hear. Could you repeat that, please?
A: 49082-5571.
B: Thank you very much.
A: You're welcome. Goodbye.

Practice saying the phrases.

	Could I have your company address, please? Could I have your e-mail address, please?
	Could I have your fax number, please? Could you repeat that, please?
	Could you spell that, please? Could you tell me the zip code again, please?
	The zip code is 49082-5571.  dash, new line

It is sometimes difficult to understand an address over the telephone. There are certain expressions that can help. American addresses are written as the example below:

Channing and Associates
454 West Coverdale Avenue
Seattle, Washington    49082-5571

After Channing and Associates the speaker says new line, 
which means that you begin to write below the line you have just written. There are basically three lines in the address. Zip code is post code in American English.
