Answer key

  1. Hello, I'm calling about my order.“I’m calling about”: listen for the -ing. The t of “about” is short.
  2. What seems to be the problem?“Seems to be” makes the question polite. The stress in “problem” is on “prob”.
  3. The shoes are the wrong size.“Shoes are” links: “shoo-zar”.
  4. We can send you a new pair tomorrow.“Send you” sounds like “sen-ju”. A pair of shoes is two shoes.
  5. That's great, thank you very much.The t of “that’s” joins the s. “Thank you” is said as one unit but written as two words.
