MAKING AN APPOINTMENT

- Welcome back everybody! In this Session we're going to take a look at some of the vocabulary we used in Session 2. To start with, can you remember what Session 2 was all about?

- Yes, that's right. It was all about the job I do every day. I expect you recall that I work for a financial company as a financial advisor. In other words I help people with investing their money. My clients contact our office via e-mail or phone and then we make an appointment.

- You arrange an appointment with another person because you want to meet or see them. The two things that are important for an appointment are the time and the place. You say for example: Let's meet next Monday at 10 o'clock.

- Another word that is very similar in meaning to appointment is the word ‘date’.

- A date is usually a private meeting with another person.

- So, when you say: I've got a date with my boss, it means you are going to see your boss privately.

- Possibly you also know the expression ‘blind date’, which is a rendezvous with a person you have never seen before and you are meeting the one for the first time.

appointment – свидание, условленная встреча

advisor = adviser - советник, консультант

via– лат. посредством чего-л., с помощью чего-л.
