Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to talk about arranging services in English?
Hi, my name is Daphne, and this is Three Step English by EnglishClass101.com.
In this lesson, you'll learn "how to use ‘have something done’ to arrange services" through a quick conversation.
Let's look at the dialogue.
Hi Jessica! Do you mind if I ask you a quick question?
Of course! What’s your question?
It’s regarding facility operations. I want to make sure that everything is ready for the new facility we’re opening next month.
That’s coming up! What do you want to know?
How often do we have the equipment serviced?
It depends, but every six months is good for most of the equipment.
Got it. What about cleaning? How often should we have the carpets cleaned, for example?
I’d say about once a year. Also, it’s a good idea to have the alarms tested annually as well.
Great, thanks for your help!
No problem! Actually, you reminded me that I need to have the copy machine serviced! Thanks!
Let's go over the dialogue again, more slowly this time.
