第一篇：英语童话故事
以自我介绍开始电话交谈：“Hello，this is Peter Jones.如果你在接电话的时候对方没有表明他是谁，你可以说：“May I ask who's calling，please？”
Asking for someone / Making a request
如果你打电话给特定的某个人的话，那么你得用礼貌的问句来表达意图，例如“May I speak to Rachel Smith，please？”当你只知道分机号码却不知道人名的时候你可以说：“Could I have extension number 635？”但如果打电话是有特定的目的，那最好是这么说：“I'm calling to make a reservation.”
Holding and transferring
“Please hold”是电话语言中表示“等一下”。当你需要transferred（转接）到另一部分机，你常会听到：“Connecting your call…”或者“Please hold，I'll transfer you.”。如果你是在繁忙时段拨打某公司电话的话，你可能会听到简短的一句话，“Hello，please hold！”在接线员将你转到另一条线之前。
Leaving a message
当你打电话的对象不在或不能接听电话时，准备好留言。你可以使用voicemail（电子录音系统）或一部answering machine（在磁带上录音的一种机器）。如果你正和接线员讲话的话，他们会问：“Would you like to leave a message？”或者你可以说，“May I leave a message？如果想要对方回电话的话，千万别忘了留你的电话号码。这被称作call back number.Asking the speaker to slow down
如果你不确定你能听懂所有的英语对话，一定要坦诚。直接告诉对方：“My English isn't very strong，could you please speak slowly？”大部分的人会赞许你的诚实并很高兴这么做。
Write it down
如果你觉得用英语打电话还有点紧张的话，把要讲的事先写下来将很有帮

The Judge And The Thief(法官和小偷)
There was once a man who lost his pouch(钱袋)and he asked for help from the judge.“Your Honour,” he said, “someone has stolen my pouch.There are many dwellers(房客)in my house but I do mot know who the guilty(有罪的)one is,”
After a while, the judge said, “Call all your housemates here, and I shall find out who the thief is.”
Later on, all of them appeared before the judge who said, “Now, I have some magic sticks(魔棒).Each stick is of the same length(长度).Everyone here will be given one stick.Bring them back to me tomorrow morning.Only the thief’s stick will grow longer by a fingers length.”
