For example, if you want to make an appointment with somebody,you would normally call up his office and arrange a time either with him or through his secretary.If you want to go to the movies,you call to see what's playing,ask for the time schedule,and check the prices.If you want to buy something, you would call ahead to make sure the store has what you need, and at a good price.If you want to travel,you had better call to find out schedules,prices,ticket information,and reservations.

电话的烦恼

I had worked hard all day at the office,and I was looking forward to a relaxing evening at home.

Just as I walked in the door,the telephone began to ring.I dashed to answer the phone and found that the caller was a man trying to sell something.I refused and hung up the phone.

As I went upstairs to see whether the children had finished their homework,the telephone rang again.I answered it and knew my husband wouldn't be home for dinner.

Then I went back downstairs with the children to have dinner.During dinner,the phone rang twice.Without even answering it,I called to my children,"Get ready,we're all going to a movie."

"Great!But why?"

"Is seems that's the only way we can get away from this telephone."
