Diálogo realista
Customer: Good morning. I’m here to sort out something and I want to make sure I explain it clearly.
Representative: No problem. Let’s start with the most important point.
Customer: Could we go over the details for contratar internet?
Representative: Right. Let’s start with the technician, because that usually determines the next step.
Customer: I have that. I’m less certain about the service.
Representative: Yes. We normally confirm the service and then update the fee.
Customer: That makes sense. Can I confirm exactly what happens next?
Representative: Correct. The complaint is the final detail we need before moving ahead.
Customer: When should this be resolved?
Representative: It depends on the contract. If that stays the same, the process is straightforward.
Customer: Okay. I brought the support too, because I wasn’t sure whether it was required.
Representative: That would be useful. You may not need it now, but it can save time later.
Customer: I’d like to report a problem.
Representative: Absolutely. Let’s go through the document slowly so you know exactly what it means.
Customer: Thanks. The vocabulary is actually easier when I can connect it to the situation.
Representative: Exactly. You don’t need every word. Focus on the request and any instruction that follows it.
Customer: When can a technician come?
Representative: If anything changes, contact us and mention the reference number. That will help us find your details quickly.
Customer: Okay, I’ll do that. And the counter stays the same, correct?
Representative: That’s correct. The counter stays exactly as discussed.
Customer: Could you also show me where the connection appears? I want to recognise it next time.
Representative: Yes. Think of “connection” as a keyword that tells you what information the other person needs. Once you hear it, respond with the relevant detail rather than a full explanation.
Customer: That’s much clearer now. I appreciate your time.
Representative: You’re welcome. Have a good day.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre contratar internet, identificá primero si la otra persona está pidiendo un dato, confirmando algo o indicando un próximo paso. Esa función te ayuda a responder incluso si no entendiste una palabra secundaria.
Confirmar es parte de una conversación natural
Si una respuesta contiene mucha información, repetí solo el dato importante con una pregunta corta. Eso mantiene el intercambio ágil y claro.
Usá bloques de lenguaje reutilizables
No memorices el diálogo completo. Elegí dos frases del bloque anterior y combinalas con vocabulario como “technician”, “service” o “fee”. Así podés adaptarte si la conversación cambia.
Errores comunes de hispanohablantes
✕ I have a doubt about this.
✓ I have a question about this.
“I have a question” es la opción natural para introducir una consulta concreta.
✕ Can you repeat me that?
✓ Could you repeat that, please?
Con repeat, lo natural es usar directamente el objeto: “repeat that” o “say that again”.
✕ I want that you check it.
✓ I need you to explain it.
Evitá copiar estructuras del español. En inglés cambian tanto la construcción como el registro de cortesía.
✕ Tell me the technician.
✓ Could you tell me about the technician, please?
Agregar could y please hace que un pedido de información suene mucho más natural.
