English Speaking with Vocabulary Practice

all right let's practice English we got  some vocabulary for appointments for  

example if something works for you that  means that it's suitable for you does it  

work for you yes it's suitable for me for  example are you available next Monday no  

sorry that doesn't work for me no sorry that  doesn't work for me that's not suitable for me

what about Tuesday does that work for you  does that work for you yeah that works for  

me that's good okay listen and repeat what  day of the week works best for you to meet

up what day of the week works best for you to meet

up all right a time slot that's one single  appointment space on a calendar so it's a  

space on a calendar and you might have a free slot  that means there's no appointment in that space  

it's an open slot free slot a time slot I looked  at your online calendar but couldn't find a free

slot I looked at your online  calendar but couldn't find a free

slot so that means there was no openings  

no place to make a reservation for example  or schedule something an available slot  

is a period of time that is available for a  specific event or occurrence an open time if  

you're open you're available right so it's an  available slot the doctor has an open slot at

2m when is the next available slot

the 9:00 slot is currently  open would you like to reserve

it the 9:00 slot is currently  open would you like to reserve

it I have one available slot  next Tuesday does that work for

you I have one available slot  next Tuesday does that work for

you to be fully booked to be completely booked  that means there are no free slots nothing  

is open nothing is available it's fully  booked completely booked to be completely  

booked to be all right can I please reserve  a table for eight for tomorrow night please

I'm very sorry but we are fully  booked for the for tomorrow

evening I'm sorry but we are  fully booked for tomorrow

evening I'm sorry I'm very sorry  but we are fully booked for tomorrow

evening they are not just sorry  they are very sorry okay when was  

the last time you could didn't go  somewhere because it was completely

booked when was the last time that happened to you  

when was the last time you couldn't go  it somewhere because it was completely

booked when was the last time you couldn't  go somewhere because it was completely

booked the dentist it was completely booked and  I said oh darn it I can't go to the dentist too  

bad that was sarcasm by the way okay a walk-  in a walk in so it's it's a noun a person who  

walks into a business without an appointment  because an appointment isn't necessary maybe  

maybe they walk in an appointment is necessary  but there's still a walk-in and they say sorry  

we don't accept Walkins all right the sign  outside that hair salon says Walkins welcome  

so you can walk in and get an appointment  Walkins welcome you can walk in without  

an appointment that's what a walk-in is all  right so walk-in is an ad in the adjective

form I have no idea what I just said but  a Walkin is the noun form you can also  

use it in the adjective form Walkin  for example our clinics walk-in hours  

what kind of hours walk-in hours  so that adjective for hours what  

kind of hours walk-in hours our Clinic's  walk-in hours are Monday and Tuesday 7

to9 all right listen and repeat what  types of businesses offer walk-in

available yes we now we didn't have any tables  available but guess what we just had a last minute  

cancellation lucky you we have a six six seat  table we have a table for six available all  

right how about you what would you consider a  last minute cancellation how far before an event  

should the cancellation be how how far what what  would you consider a last minute cancellation it  

probably depends right I think a cancellation  24 hours before an appointment is last

minute okay that's kind of last minute it's  actually last hour but we don't say that we  

say last minute even if it was 24 hours before all  right a cancellation we've already covered this is
