The next unit covers voice communication in sections on listening arrangements, sound signals, code systems, taped messages, repair strategies, practice conversations, and evaluation. Guidance for using the telephone book is next, with activities concerned with: alphabetizing, contents of a telephone directory, the white pages, the blue pages, the yellow pages, TDD directories, guide words, summary activities, and evaluation. Telephone etiquette is distinguished between "things you do for all telephone conversations" and "things you do for some telephone conversations."
