Afraid of telephoning others Recently I found I am always afraid of telephoning British. I want to apply for some voluntary work as it's a good chance to talk with local people and improve my English. But when I contact others I prefer sending an e-mail instead of just calling him/her up. I know using mobile phone is more convenient than mails because through emails people need to wait for a long time for replying. But I am worried about my English as I can not catch up what people say through telephone. Besides, I don't know how to give a call properly, what I should say at first. Hoping I can overcome this problem later.
