| 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! |
