情景对话

A:Billy, you are late again.

B:I'm sorry I'm late. I overslept. Is the manager here today?

A:Yes he 's in his office.

B:Oh,I hope he didn't notice me.

A:Don't take any chances. It'd be best if you told him and promised not to be late again. He's already mad at you for last 2 times. Any more and he might fire you.

B:You said it. It won't happen again. Do you really think he'd fire me?

A:I think he might. You'd better go to his office.

B:You are probably right. I'll go right now and apologize. I try hard not to be late but it is difficult with Beijing traffic.

A:Good luck!
