[00:04:31]>> It is no problem at all. Ma'am, >> I should have asked you about the route first.

[00:04:37]>> Many passengers ask and that is okay.

[00:04:40]>> Next time I will ask before the trip starts.

[00:04:44]>> That is a good idea for everyone. Here is the $45 plus a small tip.

[00:27:08]>> I want some history books and one cookbook.

[00:27:12]>> The history section is on the second floor.

[00:27:16]>> And where are the cookbooks? The cookbooks are on this floor in section D.

[00:27:23]>> Thank you. I will start with the history books.

[00:27:27]>> Of course. Take the stairs or the elevator.

[00:27:31]>> I will take the stairs. I need the exercise.

[00:27:35]>> Good idea. Many people sit too much.

[00:27:38]>> Yes, especially with computer work.

[00:27:42]>> True. Reading is much better for the eyes. I agree completely.

[00:27:48]>> Are you looking for a special history book?

[00:27:52]>> Yes, something about ancient Egypt.

[00:27:55]>> We have many wonderful books on that topic.

[00:28:37]>> Wonderful. That is enough time.

[00:28:40]>> Yes. Most readers say the same thing.

[00:28:43]Are there fees if I am late?

[00:28:46]>> One day late is free. Then 50 cents per day.

[00:28:50]>> Okay, I will be careful with the dates.

[00:28:54]>> That is a good idea.

[00:28:55]>> Thank you for the information.

[00:28:58]>> You are very welcome.

[00:29:19]>> A twisted ankle in the park.

[00:29:22]>> Excuse me. Are you okay? I saw you fall down.

[00:29:27]>> Not really. My ankle hurts a lot.

[00:29:31]>> Oh no, that is bad. Can you stand up slowly?

[00:29:37]>> I can try, but it is very painful.

[00:29:40]Take your time. Please do not rush yourself.

[00:29:44]>> Thank you so much for stopping to help.

[00:29:48]>> Of course, I am happy to help you.

[00:29:51]>> I think I twisted my right ankle.

[00:29:54]>> Let me see your foot for a moment.

[00:29:57]>> It looks a little red, I think.

[00:30:00]>> Yes, and it is also quite swollen now.

[00:30:04]>> Oh, no. That is not good news at all.

[00:30:08]Can you move your toes a little bit?

[00:30:11]>> Yes, I can. But it really hurts.

[00:30:15]>> That is actually a very good sign.

[00:30:18]>> I really hope it is not broken.

[00:30:22]>> Let us go and sit on this bench.

[00:30:24]>> Good idea. I really need to rest now.

[00:30:28]>> Lean on my arm and walk slowly.

[00:30:32]>> Thank you. You're very kind to me.

[00:30:35]How did this accident happen to you?

[00:30:38]>> I was running fast on the path here.

[00:30:41]>> And you did not see the hole in front.

[00:30:45]>> No, I was looking down at my watch.

[00:30:49]>> That is something easy to do, I think.

[00:30:52]>> Yes, but I feel a little silly now.

[00:30:56]>> Please do not worry. Accidents happen to everyone.

[00:31:00]>> Thank you for saying that to me. Do you need some water to drink?

[00:31:05]>> Yes, please. That would help me a lot.

[00:31:08]>> Here is my bottle. It is still cold.

[00:31:12]>> Thank you so much for sharing it.

[00:31:15]>> Should I call someone in your family?

[00:31:18]>> My wife, please. Her number is in my phone.

[00:31:22]>> Of course. Where is your phone right now?

[00:31:25]>> It is in my jacket pocket on the right.

[00:31:28]>> I will find it for you in one moment.

[00:31:31]Thank you. Her name is Anna in the contacts.

[00:31:36]>> I see her name. I am calling now.

[00:31:39]>> Please tell her I am here at the park.

[00:31:42]>> I will tell her everything that happened.

[00:31:45]>> She can come quickly with the car.

[00:31:48]>> I will wait here with you until she comes.

[00:31:52]>> Thank you so much for everything today.

[00:31:55]>> Take care. Goodbye.

[00:31:57]>> Goodbye.

[00:31:59]asking about local attractions.

[00:32:02]>> Excuse me, can I please ask you a question?

[00:32:06]>> Yes, of course. How can I help you?

[00:32:09]>> What can I see and do in this town?

[00:32:12]>> There are many nice places to visit here.

[00:32:16]>> I only have one full day in the town.

[00:32:20]>> Then I can suggest a few special places.

[00:32:24]>> That would be very helpful for me. Thank you.

[00:32:27]The old castle on the hill is very famous.

[00:32:32]>> A castle? That sounds really wonderful to me.

[00:32:36]>> Yes, it is the symbol of our town.

[00:32:39]>> Is the castle far from this place?

[00:32:42]>> No, only about 20 minutes on foot from here.

[00:32:47]>> That is not too far for a nice walk.

[00:32:50]>> The view from the top is really beautiful. I love good views from high places.

[00:32:57]>> Then you really must go there today.

[00:33:00]>> What other places can I see in town?

[00:33:03]>> There is also a small but lovely museum.

[00:33:07]>> What can I see inside the museum?

[00:33:10]>> Local art and very old photos of our town.

[00:33:14]>> That sounds interesting and quite special.

[00:33:18]>> Yes, it is small but really very nice.

[00:33:22]How much does the museum ticket cost?

[00:33:25]>> Only $5 for one adult ticket.

[00:33:28]>> That is a very good price for a museum.

[00:33:32]>> Yes, and many tourists go there every day.

[00:33:35]>> Is there a nice park in the town, too?

[00:33:39]>> Yes, the river park is really lovely in summer.

[00:33:43]>> I like quiet parks very much.

[00:33:46]>> You can walk along the river for a long time.

[00:33:50]That sounds peaceful and very relaxing to me.

[00:33:54]>> It is. Many local people go there in the afternoon.

[00:33:59]>> And what about good food in town?

[00:34:02]>> There's a market every day in the main square.

[00:34:05]>> A market? I really love local markets.

[00:34:10]>> You can try local cheese, fresh bread, and fruit.

[00:34:14]>> That sounds absolutely delicious to me.

[00:34:17]It is open from morning until 5 in the afternoon.

[00:34:22]>> Good. I have plenty of time today.

[00:34:25]>> Try the apple cake. It is the local favorite.

[00:34:29]>> Apple cake. I will remember that. Thank you.

[00:34:33]>> Start with the castle in the morning.

[00:34:36]>> Why is the morning better for the castle?

[00:34:39]>> It is busy in the afternoon and the light is better.

[00:34:43]>> Perfect. I have my camera ready. then you will love it. Have a good day.

[00:34:49]>> Thank you for everything. Goodbye.

[00:34:51]>> Goodbye.

[00:34:53]>> Congratulating a coworker.

[00:34:56]>> Hello. I just heard the great news about you.

[00:35:00]>> Oh, thank you. What news did you hear?

[00:35:07]>> Yes, that is true. It was confirmed today.

[00:35:13]I am so happy for you.

[00:35:16]>> Thank you very much. That means a lot.

[00:35:19]>> You really deserve this new position.

[00:35:22]>> That is very kind of you to say.

[00:35:25]>> When did you find out about the promotion?

[00:35:28]>> This morning the boss told me in her office.

[00:35:32]>> That is wonderful. What a great surprise.

[00:35:36]>> Yes, I was really very surprised today.

[00:35:40]>> Why surprised? You work so hard every day.

[00:35:45]>> There were other very good people, too.

[00:35:48]>> Yes, but you were clearly the best one.

[00:35:52]>> Thank you. I really appreciate your support.

[00:35:55]>> What is your new job exactly?

[00:35:58]>> I will be the new team manager next month.

[00:36:02]>> A manager? That is a really big change.

[00:36:06]>> Yes, and I'm a little nervous about it.

[00:36:10]>> Do not worry. You will be a great manager.

[00:36:14]>> I really hope so. There is much to learn.

[00:36:18]>> When do you start your new role?

[00:36:20]>> Next Monday morning at 9:00 a.m.

[00:36:23]>> That is very soon. Are you ready?

[00:36:26]>> Almost. I have many new things to learn.

[00:36:30]>> How big will your new team be?

[00:36:33]>> About eight people work in this team.

[00:36:36]>> That is a nice size for a first team.

[00:36:40]>> Yes. Not too big and not too small.

[00:36:43]>> Will your office change too?

[00:36:46]>> Yes, I will move to the third floor next week.

[00:36:49]>> A new office too. That is very nice.

[00:36:54]>> It even has a big window with a view.

[00:36:57]>> Even better. Will you celebrate at home?

[00:37:01]>> Yes, with my family tonight at dinner.

[00:37:04]>> That sounds really lovely and special.

[00:37:08]My wife wants to cook a special meal.

[00:37:11]>> She must be very proud of you today.

[00:37:15]>> Yes, and the kids are very excited, too.

[00:37:18]>> We should also celebrate together at work.

[00:37:22]>> Maybe a small lunch with the team on Friday.

[00:37:25]>> Great idea. I can help you organize it.

[00:37:29]>> Thank you so much for your kind help.

[00:37:32]>> We can order pizza for everyone.

[00:37:35]>> Perfect. Everyone in the office loves pizza.

[00:37:39]>> I will tell the others about it today.

[00:37:42]>> Thank you. Have a great evening.

[00:37:44]>> You too. Goodbye.

[00:37:47]>> Goodbye.

[00:37:48]A sleepless night.

[00:37:51]>> Good morning. You look very tired today.

[00:37:55]>> Yes, I did not sleep well last night.

[00:37:58]>> Oh no. What happened to you? I just could not fall asleep at all.

[00:38:05]>> For how long were you awake?

[00:38:08]>> For many hours, maybe four or five.

[00:38:12]>> That is really hard. I am sorry.

[00:38:15]>> Yes, and I feel very tired now.

[00:38:19]>> Did you go to bed late last night?

[00:38:22]>> No, I went to bed early at 10:00.

[00:38:26]>> That is a good time to sleep. I know but sleep just did not come.

[00:38:32]>> Were you maybe thinking too much?

[00:38:35]>> Yes, I was thinking about work problems.

[00:38:40]>> That happens to me sometimes too.

[00:38:43]>> It is really hard to stop the thoughts.

[00:38:46]>> Did you try to read a book?

[00:38:49]>> Yes, but it did not help me at all.

[00:38:53]>> What about a glass of warm milk? I had a cup of tea instead.

[00:38:59]>> Tea sometimes has caffeine in it.

[00:39:02]>> Oh, maybe that was part of the problem.

[00:39:06]>> Try warm milk next time before bed.

[00:39:09]>> I will try that tonight. Thank you.

[00:39:12]>> Did you check your phone in bed?

[00:39:15]>> Yes, just for a few minutes.

[00:39:18]>> That is also bad for your sleep.

[00:39:21]>> Really? I did not know that. The bright light keeps your brain awake.

[00:39:27]>> I see. I will stop doing that tonight.

[00:39:31]>> Try to relax before bed instead.

[00:39:35]>> How do you relax in the evening?

[00:39:37]>> I always take a nice warm shower.

[00:39:41]>> That sounds very nice and easy.

[00:39:44]>> And I open the window just a little.

[00:39:47]>> Cool air really helps with sleep.

[00:39:51]>> Yes. The room should not be too warm.

[00:39:55]>> My bedroom is often quite warm at night.

[00:39:58]>> Try a cooler room tonight and see.

[00:40:02]>> I will try everything you said.

[00:40:05]>> Please do not worry too much about it.

[00:40:08]>> I will try not to worry tonight.

[00:40:11]>> One bad night is not really serious.

[00:40:14]>> That is true. Thank you for the help.

[00:40:18]>> No coffee in the afternoon today.

[00:40:21]Okay. I will only have one cup this morning.

[00:40:25]>> Good plan. Go to bed early tonight, too.

[00:40:29]>> I will. I really hope I sleep well.

[00:40:33]>> You will feel much better tomorrow.

[00:40:36]>> Thank you for all the kind tips.

[00:40:39]>> You are very welcome. Take care.

[00:40:42]>> Have a good day. Goodbye.

[00:40:44]>> Goodbye.

[00:40:46]>> Sharing work from home tips.

[00:40:49]I do you have a minute to talk?

[00:40:52]>> Yes, of course. What do you need?

[00:40:55]>> I have a question about working from home.

[00:40:58]>> Sure. What do you want to know?

[00:41:01]>> I start working from home next week.

[00:41:04]>> Oh, nice. Do you want some good tips?

[00:41:08]>> Yes, please. I am a little nervous.

[00:41:11]>> Do not worry. I have many tips for you.

[00:41:15]>> Great. Where should I start first?

[00:41:18]First, you should set up a real desk.

[00:41:21]>> A real desk, not the sofa.

[00:41:24]>> Yes. Not the sofa or the bed.

[00:41:27]>> Why is the sofa not a good idea?

[00:41:30]>> It is really bad for your back.

[00:41:32]>> That makes a lot of sense to me.

[00:41:35]>> A good chair with back support is the best.

[00:41:38]>> I have one already at home.

[00:41:41]>> Perfect. That is a really good start.

[00:41:44]>> What about my working hours? Try to keep regular working hours every day, >> like normal hours in the office.

[00:41:53]>> Yes, start and stop at the same time.

[00:41:57]>> That sounds smart and very organized.

[00:42:01]>> It really helps you stay focused on work.

[00:42:04]>> And what about taking breaks?

[00:42:07]>> Take short breaks during the day.

[00:42:10]>> How often should I take a break?

[00:42:13]>> Every hour or so for just a few minutes.

[00:42:16]What should I do during the breaks?

[00:42:19]>> Walk around or stretch your body a little.

[00:42:23]>> Good idea. I will try to remember.

[00:42:26]>> Also, eat lunch away from your desk.

[00:42:30]>> Why is that so important?

[00:42:32]>> Your brain really needs a real break.

[00:42:35]>> I see. I always eat at my desk now.

[00:42:40]>> Try to change that habit next week.

[00:42:42]>> I will. Anything else for me? Yes. Get dressed every morning for work.

[00:42:49]>> Not pajamas all day, even at home.

[00:42:53]>> No, because it really changes your mood.

[00:42:56]>> Really? I did not think about that.

[00:43:00]>> Yes, you feel more ready for work.

[00:43:03]>> Interesting. I will try that too.

[00:43:06]>> And talk to your team often during the day.

[00:43:10]>> Even just small chats with them. Yes, working alone can feel a little lonely.

[00:43:17]>> That is really true.

[00:43:19]>> One last tip for you.

[00:43:21]>> Yes, please tell me.

[00:43:23]>> Turn off work completely at night.

[00:43:27]>> I will try my best. Thank you so much.

[00:43:30]>> Good luck next week. Goodbye.

[00:43:33]>> Goodbye.

[00:43:34]>> Asking about vitamins.

[00:43:37]>> Good morning. Can I ask you about vitamins?

[00:43:41]>> Of course. What do you need today?

[00:43:44]>> I feel tired all the time lately.

[00:43:47]>> Oh, I am sorry to hear that.

[00:43:50]>> I really want more energy during the day.

[00:43:54]>> Yes, vitamins can definitely help with that.

[00:43:58]>> Which vitamin is the best one for energy?

[00:44:02]>> Vitamin B is very good for daily energy.

[00:44:06]>> Vitamin B. I will remember that. It helps your body use food for energy.

[00:44:13]>> That is interesting. Anything else for me?

[00:44:17]>> Vitamin D is also very important for you.

[00:44:21]>> Why do I need vitamin D?

[00:44:24]>> We get it from the sun every day.

[00:44:27]>> I do not get much sun at work.

[00:44:30]>> Then you probably need this vitamin, >> especially during the cold winter months.

[00:44:37]Yes, many people need it in winter.

[00:44:40]>> I see. What about vitamin C?

[00:44:44]>> Vitamin C is good for your immune system.

[00:44:48]>> That is very useful. I get sick often.

[00:44:52]>> Then it could help you stay healthy.

[00:44:55]>> Can I take all three together?

[00:44:58]>> Yes, they are safe to take together.

[00:45:01]>> Good to know. Thank you. But check with your doctor first to be safe.

[00:45:07]>> Of course, that is very important, >> especially if you take other medicines.

[00:45:14]>> I do not take anything else right now.

[00:45:17]>> Then you should be fine with these.

[00:45:20]>> When should I take the vitamins?

[00:45:23]>> Always with breakfast in the morning.

[00:45:26]>> Why is it better with food?

[00:45:28]>> It helps your body absorb them well.

[00:45:32]That makes sense to me now.

[00:45:34]>> And vitamin B can give you energy.

[00:45:37]>> So, I should not take it at night, >> right? It might keep you awake.

[00:45:44]>> That is a really good tip.

[00:45:46]>> Drink a full glass of water with them, too.

[00:45:49]>> I will. Do you have other advice?

[00:45:53]>> Do you eat fruits and vegetables every day?

[00:45:57]>> Not very often. I should eat more.

[00:46:00]Yes, please try to eat more fresh food.

[00:46:04]>> Are vitamins not enough by themselves?

[00:46:08]>> No, real food is always the best for you.

[00:46:12]>> I understand. I will eat better.

[00:46:16]>> Vitamins only help your normal diet.

[00:46:19]>> How much are these three vitamins together?

[00:46:23]>> The total is $25.

[00:46:26]>> Here is my card. Thank you for the advice. I hope you feel better soon.

[00:46:31]>> Have a good day. Goodbye.

[00:46:34]>> Goodbye.

[00:46:35]>> A sore throat at school.

[00:46:38]>> Are you okay? Your voice sounds different today.

[00:46:42]>> I have a really sore throat.

[00:46:45]>> Oh no. Since when do you have it?

[00:46:48]>> Since this morning when I woke up.

[00:46:51]>> That is really not good for you.

[00:46:54]>> I know. It hurts a lot to talk now. Then please try not to talk too much.

[00:47:01]>> But I have many classes today.

[00:47:04]>> Maybe you should just go home now.

[00:47:06]>> I cannot. I have a big test later.

[00:47:09]>> A test today? That is really hard for you.

[00:47:14]>> Yes. So I really must stay at school.

[00:47:17]>> Did you tell the teacher about your throat?

[00:47:20]>> No, not yet. I should do that.

[00:47:23]>> Yes, you really should tell her now. You are right. I will tell her soon.

[00:47:29]>> She might be able to help you.

[00:47:32]>> Maybe. I will try to talk to her.

[00:47:35]>> Do you have any water with you?

[00:47:37]>> No, I forgot my bottle this morning.

[00:47:41]>> You can take mine. It is still full.

[00:47:44]>> Are you really sure about that?

[00:47:46]>> Yes, I have another one in my bag.

[00:47:49]>> Thank you so much for being kind. Please drink it slowly, not too fast.

[00:47:56]>> Cold water actually hurts my throat more.

[00:47:59]>> Then maybe warm water is better for you.

[00:48:03]>> Yes, with honey when I get home.

[00:48:06]>> Honey is really great for sore throats.

[00:48:09]>> My mother always gives it to me when I'm sick.

[00:48:12]>> Mothers really know what is best.

[00:48:15]>> That is so true.

[00:48:17]>> Do you have any lozenes with you? No, I do not have any today.

[00:48:23]>> I have one in my school bag.

[00:48:25]>> Really? Can I please have it?

[00:48:28]>> Of course you can. Here it is.

[00:48:30]>> Thank you. You are very kind to me.

[00:48:34]>> It is really nothing. We are friends.

[00:48:37]>> This lozenge already helps a little.

[00:48:40]>> Good. I'm glad it helps.

[00:48:43]>> My throat feels a bit cooler now.

[00:48:46]>> That is the lozenge working well. I will buy some more after school today.

[00:48:51]>> Good idea. And get some good rest.

[00:48:54]>> Yes, I will sleep early tonight.

[00:48:57]>> Did you study a lot for the test?

[00:49:00]>> Yes, I studied for many hours.

[00:49:03]>> Then please do not worry. Good luck.

[00:49:07]>> Thank you so much for everything today.

[00:49:10]>> Take care. Goodbye.

[00:49:12]>> Goodbye.

[00:49:14]The end of year celebration.

[00:49:17]Are you ready for the end of year party?

[00:49:20]>> Yes, I am really excited about it.

[00:49:24]>> Me too. It will be a really big event.

[00:49:28]>> What time does the party start?

[00:49:30]>> It starts at 7 in the evening.

[00:49:33]>> And where is the party this year?

[00:49:36]>> At the big new hall downtown.

[00:49:39]>> Oh, the brand new place near the river.

[00:49:43]>> Yes, that one. It looks really beautiful inside.

[00:49:47]>> I have never been there before.

[00:49:50]>> You will love it. The hall is amazing.

[00:49:53]>> What do you think I should wear?

[00:49:56]>> Something nice, but not too formal.

[00:49:59]>> Is a simple dress. Okay, then.

[00:50:02]>> Yes, a dress is absolutely perfect.

[00:50:06]>> Good. I have a nice blue dress.

[00:50:09]>> Blue is a really great color on people.

[00:50:12]>> Thank you. And what about you?

[00:50:15]>> I will wear a dark suit tonight.

[00:50:18]>> That sounds very nice and elegant.

[00:50:22]>> But I will not wear a tie tonight.

[00:50:25]>> That is much more comfortable for the evening.

[00:50:28]>> Yes, because it is a really long evening.

[00:50:32]>> Will there be food at the party?

[00:50:35]>> Yes, a big dinner with many choices.

[00:50:38]>> That is great. I am hungry already.

[00:50:42]Me too. I cannot wait for the food.

[00:50:45]>> Will there be dancing and music?

[00:50:48]>> Yes, a live band will play tonight.

[00:50:52]>> A live band? That is wonderful.

[00:50:55]>> And there will be dancing later in the evening.

[00:50:58]>> I really love dancing with friends.

[00:51:02]>> Then you will have a lot of fun.

[00:51:04]>> Who will give a speech tonight?

[00:51:07]>> The director, I think, like every year.

[00:51:10]a short speech. I really hope >> she is usually quick and not too long.

[00:51:17]>> That is good news for everyone.

[00:51:20]>> There will also be some awards tonight.

[00:51:23]>> Awards for what kind of work.

[00:51:26]>> For the best workers of this year.

[00:51:29]>> Oh, that is really very nice.

[00:51:32]>> Yes, everyone is curious about the winners.

[00:51:36]>> Do you think you might win one? I do not know. We will see tonight.

[00:51:42]>> You worked very hard all year long.

[00:51:45]>> Thank you. That is very kind of you.

[00:51:48]>> I really think you have a good chance.

[00:51:51]>> We can sit together at one table.

[00:51:54]>> I would really like that. Thank you.

[00:51:57]>> See you tonight at 7. Goodbye.

[00:52:00]>> Goodbye.

[00:52:02]>> A rainy day at the beach.

[00:52:05]>> Look at the sky. It is really so dark now.

[00:52:09]>> Yes, I really think it will rain soon.

[00:52:12]>> But we just got to the beach right now.

[00:52:16]>> I know. This is really bad timing for us.

[00:52:20]>> The weather report said sunny all day today.

[00:52:24]>> The weather report is often very wrong.

[00:52:27]>> That is really true these days.

[00:52:30]>> Did you feel a drop of rain just now?

[00:52:33]Yes, the rain is really starting now.

[00:52:37]>> Oh no, here it comes really fast.

[00:52:40]>> Quick, please get the towels from the bag.

[00:52:44]>> I have them right here in my hand.

[00:52:47]>> Where can we go to stay dry?

[00:52:50]>> There's a small cafe over there.

[00:52:53]>> Perfect idea. Let us run there together.

[00:52:56]>> Hold the bag tight so it does not fall.

[00:52:59]>> I'm holding it really tight. We're almost there now.

[00:53:04]>> We are already a little wet.

[00:53:07]>> Just a little. We'll be fine inside.

[00:53:10]>> Inside? Finally. That feels much better.

[00:53:14]>> Let us sit by the window over there.

[00:53:17]>> Good idea. We can watch the rain from there.

[00:53:21]>> It is really coming down hard now.

[00:53:24]>> Look at the big waves on the sea.

[00:53:27]>> Yes, they are really big today. The beach looks so different in the rain.

[00:53:33]>> Yes. Very empty and very quiet now.

[00:53:37]>> A little sad, I think.

[00:53:40]>> But also really beautiful in a special way.

[00:53:44]>> True. I love the sound of rain.

[00:53:47]>> Me, too. It's very calming.

[00:53:50]>> Should we order something hot to drink?

[00:53:53]>> Yes, a hot drink is just perfect. Now, >> I really want a hot chocolate.

[00:54:00]Good choice. I'll have a tea >> and maybe a piece of cake, too.

[00:54:06]>> Yes, why not? It's a special day.

[00:54:09]>> This is really nice after all.

[00:54:12]>> Just a small change of plan.

[00:54:14]>> We came for the sunny beach today.

[00:54:17]>> And we got a really cozy cafe instead.

[00:54:21]>> Not bad at all. Really, >> sometimes the rain is a real gift.

[00:54:27]That is a really nice way to say it.

[00:54:30]>> Now we can talk and just relax.

[00:54:33]>> Yes. No rush at all today.

[00:54:37]>> Cheers to nice rainy days like this.

[00:54:40]>> Cheers. Have a good afternoon.

[00:54:43]>> You too. Goodbye.

[00:54:45]>> Goodbye.

[00:54:46]>> A problem with the schedule.

[00:54:49]Excuse me. Can I please talk to you for a moment?

[00:54:53]>> Yes, of course. How can I help you?

[00:54:56]I have a problem with my work schedule.

[00:55:00]>> Oh, what is wrong with it?

[00:55:03]>> I usually work on Tuesday and Thursday.

[00:55:08]>> Yes, that is correct in our system.

[00:55:11]>> But this week I have two Tuesdays here.

[00:55:15]>> Two Tuesdays.

[00:55:17]Let me see the paper.

[00:55:19]>> Look at the schedule paper right here.

[00:55:23]Oh, you are absolutely right about that.

[00:55:26]>> Is that really a mistake then?

[00:55:29]>> Yes, it is a small mistake.

[00:55:33]>> I thought so when I saw it.

[00:55:35]>> I am very sorry about this problem.

[00:55:39]>> It is okay. These things sometimes happen.

[00:55:43]>> I will fix it right now for you.

[00:55:46]>> Thank you very much.

[00:55:48]>> The second day should really be Thursday.

[00:55:52]Yes, that is my normal schedule.

[00:55:56]>> Let me change it in the computer system now.

[00:55:59]>> Of course, please take your time with it.

[00:56:02]>> Just one moment, please.

[00:56:05]>> No problem at all. I can wait.

[00:56:08]>> There. It is all fixed now.

[00:56:11]>> That was really fast. Thank you.

[00:56:14]>> It was an easy mistake to fix today.

[00:56:18]>> Good. I am glad it is done.

[00:56:21]Is there anything else you need today?

[00:56:23]>> Yes, one more thing, actually.

[00:56:27]>> Please tell me what it is.

[00:56:29]>> Next week, I have a doctor's appointment.

[00:56:33]>> When is the doctor's visit?

[00:56:35]>> It is on Wednesday morning at 10:00.

[00:56:39]>> Do you usually work on Wednesday?

[00:56:42]>> No, but the appointment is very long.

[00:56:45]>> I see. That is a problem. I might also need Thursday off too.

[00:56:52]>> Let me check the schedule for next week.

[00:56:56]>> Thank you very much.

[00:56:58]>> Yes, you can have Thursday off next week.

[00:57:02]>> Really? That is great news.

[00:57:05]>> Someone else can cover for you that day.

[00:57:08]>> Who do you think will cover for me?

[00:57:11]>> I will ask Mark first about it.

[00:57:14]>> Mark is very kind. He will probably help.

[00:57:18]I will let you know tomorrow morning.

[00:57:21]>> Thank you so much for all your help.

[00:57:24]>> You're welcome. That is my job.

[00:57:27]>> I really appreciate it. Have a good day.

[00:57:31]>> You too. Goodbye.

[00:57:33]>> Goodbye.

[00:57:35]Too much luggage.

[00:57:38]>> Good morning. I think my luggage is too heavy.

[00:57:43]>> Good morning. Let us check it.

[00:57:46]Thank you.

[00:57:48]>> Please put your suitcase on the scale.

[00:57:51]>> All right.

[00:57:52]>> Thank you. It is 28 kilos.

[00:57:56]>> Oh, no.

[00:57:57]>> The limit is 23 kilos.

[00:58:01]>> So, it is 5 kilos too much.

[00:58:05]>> Yes, that is right.

[00:58:07]>> I was afraid of that.

[00:58:09]>> Do you have another bag with you?

[00:58:12]>> Only this small backpack.

[00:58:15]I see.

[00:58:17]>> Can I move some things into the backpack?

[00:58:20]>> Yes, of course.

[00:58:22]>> That is good.

[00:58:24]>> You can step over to the side table.

[00:58:27]>> Thank you very much.

[00:58:29]>> You are welcome.

[00:58:31]>> I packed too many clothes.

[00:58:34]>> That happens to many people.

[00:58:36]>> I was worried about the weather.

[00:58:39]>> I understand.

[00:58:41]>> I am traveling for 2 weeks.

[00:58:45]Then it is easy to pack too much.

[00:58:48]>> Yes, exactly.

[00:58:50]>> Do you want a few minutes?

[00:58:53]>> Yes, please.

[00:58:55]>> No problem.

[00:58:56]>> I think I can move these shoes.

[00:59:00]>> That sounds like a good idea.

[00:59:02]>> And maybe this sweater, too.

[00:59:06]>> Yes, that may help.

[00:59:08]>> All right, I am ready to check again.

[00:59:11]>> Please put the suitcase back on the scale.

[00:59:14]Okay, >> good. Now it is 23 kilos exactly.

[00:59:20]>> Oh, perfect.

[00:59:22]>> Yes, now it is fine.

[00:59:25]>> That is a relief.

[00:59:27]>> I'm glad.

[00:59:28]>> Thank you for waiting.

[00:59:31]>> Of course.

[00:59:32]>> I did not want to pay extra.

[00:59:35]>> I understand.

[00:59:37]>> Can I still take the backpack with me?

[00:59:40]>> Yes, that is fine as cabin baggage.

[00:59:44]Good.

[00:59:45]>> Please keep your important items with you.

[00:59:48]>> Yes, I will.

[00:59:50]>> Are you checking only this suitcase?

[00:59:53]>> Yes, only this one.

[00:59:56]>> All right.

[00:59:57]>> Here is my passport, too.

[01:00:00]>> Thank you very much.

[01:00:02]>> You're welcome.

[01:00:04]>> Everything looks good now.

[01:00:06]>> Wonderful.

[01:00:08]>> Here is your baggage receipt.

[01:00:10]>> Thank you. I will keep it safe.

[01:00:14]>> Good.

[01:00:15]>> Thank you again for your help.

[01:00:17]>> You are welcome. Have a good flight.

[01:00:20]>> Thank you. Goodbye.

[01:00:23]>> Goodbye.
