Calling the American Embassy

      Kathy uses a local telephone to call the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm. An embassy official answers the phone.

E:U.S. Embassy in Stockholm. How may I help you? 

K:Hello? My name is Kathy Mannings. I'm an American citizen. I think I've lost my passport. 

E:That's a serious problem, young lady. Are you sure you've lost it? 

K:I'm afraid so. If I have lost it, what can I do? 

E:Please look very carefully for it. It will take a lot of paperwork and time to replace your passport. 

K:Believe me, we're looking high and low for it. 

E:If you can't find it, you'll have to come down to the embassy to the Passport Section. You'll have to fill out forms there and pay for a replacement. 

K:I have your address, but I don't know your business hours.  

E:The Passport Section is open on weekdays from a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon. 

K:Well, thanks a lot. 

E:You're welcome. And good luck!
