B: Well, why not call the helpdesk? They're open 24 hours.
Jo: Do you like my new mobile phone, Jean?
Jean: Yes I do, is it good?
Jo: Yes, but it was difficult to use at first. I had to call the helpdesk to find out how to use it properly.
Jean: Really?
Jo: Yes. But they were very helpful.
Jean: How many times did you call?
Jo: Quite a few times. I'm not very good with technology. Fortunately the people on the helpdesk were very patient.
Jean: Well that's good that they're very patient with you. 好了，今天我们学到的新词 helpdesk 就是在车站酒店等公共场所服务机构所设置的咨询服务台。And that's all we have time for today.
