No, I only write messages in English. I don't like making calls or leaving voicemails.

Yes. I once needed to book a hotel and couldn't speak English to the receptionist. I asked friends for help.

Yes, I sometimes make phone calls in English, especially when I need to contact someone from an international organization or attend an online meeting. I don’t often leave voicemail messages, but I keep them short and clear if I have to. I usually say my name, the reason for the call, and ask them to call me back. Speaking on the phone in English helps me improve my fluency and confidence.
