Customer Hi, my laptop hasn’t been working properly


for a few days. Could you help?
Technician Yes, of course. First of all I’d 1 need to / need
look at it. Have you brought it with you?
C Yes, here it is. It’s been really slow since I opened up an
email attachment. I know I 2 must not / shouldn’t have
done that, but I did and now I feel really stupid.
T Mm, we always tell people that you’re 3 not supposed
/ not allowed to open up an attachment unless you
know who the sender is, but people do. The other thing
we always tell customers is that they 4 must not / don’t
have to forget to back up their files before they bring a
laptop in, just in case we have to reinstall programs. You
have backed yours up, haven’t you?
C Oh yes, I’ve done that. But what do you think the
problem is?
T I’m just having a look now, but you 5 haven’t got to
/ don’t need to worry. In fact, you 6 needn’t have
brought / didn’t need to bring it in! The memory on the laptop is full and that’s why it’s been working
so slowly. You 7 should / ought get an external hard drive and transfer your larger files to free up some
memory. It’ll work great!
C Which brand would you recommend?
T Well, I’m not really 8 permitted / allowed to recommend one brand over another, but have a look at our
catalogue with the prices. That 9 should / must help you decide which one to get.
C That’s great, thanks…
