14 分钟Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod.
My name is Marco.
My name is Catherine and today we're going to be helping you set up an answering machine basically.
That's right, so somebody's calling you, you can't answer the phone,
so you leave a message and we're going to teach you all about that today.
That's right,
so let's take a listen to our dialogue and we'll be back in a moment to figure out just what's going on.
Can you help me set up my voicemail message?
I just got the service and I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to say.
Sure.
You just basically got to let the caller know who they called and ask them for their contact information so you can call them back.
Okay, so I can say, this is Abby's voicemail.
I will call you later, so leave me your name and number.
That's more or less the idea, but try something that sounds more friendly.
Okay, so how about this?
This is Abby and I'm really happy you called.
I promise I will give you a ring as soon as I can, so please leave me your name and number.
Talk to you soon!
Uh, a little too friendly, Abby.
Just say this.
