Mrs King: Hello!

Lingling: Hello! Could I speak to Betty, please?

Mrs King: I’m sorry, she’s not in at the moment.

Lingling: Is that Mrs King?

Mrs King: Yes, this is Betty’s mother. Is it important? Can I take a message?

Lingling: Yes, please. This is Lingling, Betty’s classmate. I have a problem with my best friend and I need her help.

Mrs King: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, Lingling. But Betty is visiting her grandmother. She won’t be back until tomorrow. Maybe you can try calling my friend, Jane. She works on the Friendship Helpline at school.

Lingling: Thanks so much, Mrs King. May I have the number?

Mrs King: You can call her on 58590808.

Lingling: Thank you, Mrs King.

Mrs King: You’re welcome, Lingling. I hope my friend can help you.
