[This is a serious of role playing cards between a customer and a customer service assistant. It was designed to supplement a lesson from Life Pre-Intermediate Textbook p.64, put perhaps it can also stand independently, especially as role playing telephone conversations are so common in TESOL textbooks.]

You ordered a new watch. 
  It was supposed to arrive three days ago, but it still hasn’t come
  yet.  Phone up customer service to find
  out what is wrong. | 
You ordered a clock. 
  It arrived on time, but it was already broken when you opened the
  box.  Phone up customer service to try
  to get either a new clock or a refund. | 
| 
You ordered a new phone, but the company sent you a watch
  instead.  You don’t want the
  watch.  Phone up customer service to
  try to get the product you actually want. | 
You ordered a calculator. 
  It arrived on time, and there is nothing wrong with it.  But you’ve changed your mind, and decided
  you don’t want it anymore.  Phone up customer
  service to see if they’ll take it back and give you a refund. | 
| 
You ordered a watch. 
  It arrived on time, and there’s nothing wrong with it.  But you live alone, and you’re very
  lonely.  You want someone to talk
  to.  Phone up customer service, and try
  to get them to have a conversation with you about something. | 
You ordered a new computer for your father’s birthday.  Your father’s birthday is tomorrow, but the
  company website says it takes one week to deliver.  Call up customer service and see if there’s
  anyway they can deliver it by tomorrow. | 
| 
You had a little bit too much to drink last night, and got
  on your computer and ordered a lot of things that you don’t need.  Now, you regret having ordered so much
  stuff.  Call up customer service, and
  see if you can get them to cancel your order. | 
The order arrived on time, the delivery man was very polite,
  and the product was perfect.  Call up
  customer service to congratulate the company on a job well-done.  Tell them how happy you are with their
  service. | 
| 
Your new smart phone arrived today, but it’s the wrong
  colour.  Call up customer service to
  complain, and see if they can switch the phone to the colour you want. | 
Every time you order from this company, they manage to get
  your order wrong.  Every single
  time.  This is getting ridiculous
  now.  Call up the company to let them
  know what a terrible job they’ve been doing. |
