start with,” Hello, this is Bob Blair. May I speak to Carmen Rivera, please?” For
an informal or personal call, you say, “ Hi, this is Koji. Is Grace there, please?
• Be sure to leave a complete message. You can say, “ Please ask Ms.Rivera to call
me at 555-8976 about the party on Sunday”.

When I was in the Junior High School, I joined two clubs. They were the Football
Club and the Karate Club. I joined those clubs because I love sports, especially football
and karate. I had football on Sunday mornings and Karate on Mondays at 4 p.m.
One day my football club joined a football competition. There were eight clubs
joining the competition. At first, our club won the match. Then, we had to defeat one club
to get to the final. Fortunately, we won again. After those two matches, we had lunch in
the cafeteria. We were so impatient to play in the last game. It was the hard one because
our opponent was very tough. Finally, we won the game with a nice score of 3-2.We
were so tired. However, we were happy and proud to be the winner of the competition. It
