[00:03.34]Unit 31 Task:"rant"about something you hate

[00:09.81]2 Read four people's ranting 1

[00:13.88]about things they hate.

[00:16.23]What does each person hate most?

[00:19.36]What reasons do they give?

[00:21.76]Catherine:What I really hate is automated 2

[00:26.02]telephone answers.

[00:28.54]When you try to phone up a company,

[00:30.69]and you get a recorded voice and you have to

[00:33.24]choose different options on this.

[00:35.27]They tell you press one if you have a problem

[00:37.68]with your invoice 3 or press two

[00:39.78]if you have a problme with something esle.

[00:41.74]And it's nver specific to what you want to

[00:44.01]speak about and you never know

[00:45.51]which one to choose.

[00:47.17]And it takes you like three minutes

[00:49.19]to get through to speak to an actual person

[00:51.22]and it's costing you money all this time.

[00:53.83]And it's very frustrating 4.

[00:55.78]I was phoning a hospital the other day

[00:58.22]and I wanted to speak to somebody specifically.

[01:01.82]And I spoke 5 to a person and she said,

[01:03.76]"Is it about appointments?"

[01:04.81]and I went "Well,kind of..."

[01:06.64]And she immediately put me through

[01:08.50]to this automated thing without even saying

[01:10.82]"I'm just putting you through."

[01:12.07]Just like blunt of...

[01:13.60]and that was something that didn't answer

[01:15.75]my questionat all.

[01:16.96]I had to put the phone down

[01:18.18]and phone up again to actually speak to a human

[01:20.31]So I hate them.

[01:20.88]
