Based on the information above, write a lesson plan for a 45-minute lesson with this student. The topic is Telephoning, and the objective is to prepare the student to communicate over the phone. At present, he finds it difficult to speak with someone without seeing the person and he needs to learn the standard language of telephone conversations (e.g. "I'd like to speak to ..., please?", etc).
Please include the following information:
Target language (list the specific vocabulary/phrases/structures you will teach)
Assumed knowledge (for example, list some grammatical structures the student already knows, which can be of use during the lesson)
