a) Study the information below and suggest your version of what could have happened to Alexander. Why did he do that?
Alexander applied for the programme “Sports and Communication” in a college in the US. His application was processed and he received the following reply.
Dear Alexander,
Thank you for your application for our July–August course to be held in North Kansas City. Your application has been assessed and it is fine, so we now need to arrange a telephone interview with you to be sure that your level of English will allow you to follow the course.
Telephone interviews are normally held Monday–Friday between the hours of 10.00 am and 3.00 pm. For your interview I suggest 6/5/08 at 14.00. You will need to ring us on +1 816 433 4190 — interviews normally take approximately 10 minutes. You will know immediately at the conclusion of the interview if you have been offered a place on the course.
Kind regards,
Lynne MeansAlexander was delighted when he received the letter. However, the interviewer didn’t receive his call at the arranged time.
b) Write down 3–5 suppositions of what might have prevented Alexander from making the call. Use the pattern modal verb + have V3. Share the suppositions with your partners and agree on three most realistic or interesting reasons.
- How long is the journey?
- How far is the station?
- What is the best way to get to Cardiff?
- Excuse me, is this platform 2?
- What time does it arrive in Glasgow?
- Is the flight direct?
- Do I need to change?
- Could you stop here, please?
- How often do the buses go to the city centre?
- How much is a return to Leeds?
Alexander may have missed the interview because he could have forgotten the date and time. He might have written it down incorrectly. He could have had problems with the phone connection. He may have been away from home at that time. He might have overslept and not heard the alarm.
Most likely, he either forgot about the interview or had some technical problem, because he was delighted to get the letter but did not call at the arranged time.
