Leaving answering machine messages
l        Hello, person who is calling, time, day, place, purpose
Analysis:
Call 1 and 2 are precise and call 4 and 5 are quite difficult. Call 3 is intended to be in-between.
Call 3
Call 3 is relatively concise. However, it is difficult for the use of socializing added in before Sue gets down to the message (How are you? I hope you’re not too busy…). They may also find her use of phrasal verbs difficult (work out, put back). Sue also uses a rather British way of asking for postponement (I don’t suppose…, could we?). It may be helpful for her to say when exactly she called and to give her number.
