Tips for success on the telephone
By Amelia Paretti

You arrive at the airport in another country, but your luggage doesn’t arrive with you. When the airport staff cannot find it, you go unhappily to your hotel room. Now you have to use the telephone for help.
Will someone at the airline help you quickly? Yes, if you are friendly and polite. Good manners are the key to success on the telephone. Here are a few suggestions:
Speak slowly and pronounce your words clearly. You want the other person to understand you.
Speak with a smile. People like to hear a pleasant voice
Always identify yourself right away. For example, if you make a business call, 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”.
Finally, always thank the person you speak with. After all, he or she took the time to talk to you. Be sure to use the person’s name if you know it. Say,” Thank you very much for your help, Ms. Rivera” or “Thanks a lot, Grace’.

Bisons have not always lived in North America. They are relative new comers. They belong to The Bovidae family, like domestic castle and the wild buffalo of Africa and Asia. The oldest known bison fossils have been found in China and The Himalaya Foothill, where an animal with all those essential features of the genus lived in million years ago. They evolved rapidly and spread over most of the northern hemisphere in Europe and Siberia. During one of the Ice Ages, the sea level dropped, exposing a land bridge across The Bering Strait allowing the faunas of Asia and North America to intermingle. Very clearly, the steppe bison moved eastward to the North American Continent.
