Renting
Renting English in Australia

IELTS

What to bring, how a number is called, and why this is not a visa appointment.

What the money sentence means at a Toronto viewing, and what to ask before you sign. No promise you will get the place.

A short interview follow-up email
Thank them, name the role, mention one thing you already said, and ask about the next step. No promise they will reply.
Phone plan

Prepaid or contract, the data cap, and whether the handset is locked. Read the bill before you agree. No promise the number is yours.
Lost card
Freeze a lost debit card without saying the PIN
The first sentence is freeze. Stop if they tell you not to say the PIN. No promise about a replacement date.
School

Catchment, papers, the start date, then the teacher and a permission form. No promise of a place.
