N3 listening practice lesson 18 – Tapescript:
電話で話しています。女の人は、大山さんに何と伝えますか。
男：日本通信の小川と申しますが、大山様はいらっしゃいますでしょうか。
女：お世話になっております。あいにく大山は、ただ今接客中で…。終わり次第、こちらからお電話させましょうか。
男：あ、いえ。お見積書を郵送させていただいたとだけお伝えください。
女の人は、大山さんに何と伝えますか。
Translation for Reference :
A man and a woman are talking on the phone. What will the woman tell Mr. Oyama?
Man: I’m Ogawa from the Japan Newsletter. Is Mr. Oyama there?
Woman: Thank you for always helping us. Unfortunately, Mr. Oyama is currently with a customer. Shall I call you back as soon as he finishes?
Man: Oh, no. Please just tell him that I already mailed the quotation.
What will the woman tell Mr. Oyama?
Instruction to practice:
In order to understand and make this type of lesson effectively, you can apply the following steps:
1. Catch the topic and the question :
The situation taking place here is:
電話で話しています
A man and a woman are talking on the phone.
The question is:
女の人は、大山さんに何と伝えますか。
What will the woman tell Mr. Oyama?
2. Note the main ideas:
In this form of listening, we should pay attention to the information relating to Mr. Oyama and what the woman said.
After listening, we have some key words as follows:
終わり次第（おわりしだい）: as soon as he finishes
こちらからお電話（こちらからおでんわ）: call you back
お見積書（おみつもり）: quotation
郵送（ゆうそう）: mailing
伝えます（つたえる）: to tell, report
3. Choosing the answer:
According to what we have noted, we can deduct:
+ Because Mr. Oyama is currently with a customer (あいにく大山は、ただ今接客中で), the woman suggested that she would call the man back (こちらからお電話させましょうか), but Mr. Ogawa said no (あ、いえ)
+ Mr. Ogawa asked the woman to tell Mr. Oyama that he (Mr. Ogawa) already mailed the quotation (お見積書を郵送させていただいた).
So we choose answer 3. 日本通信の小川が見積を郵送したとのことです。
