Lesson 20. Section 1. Task 1. Fixing an appointment.
Well, it looks to me as if we shall have to fit him in somewhere.
What does Monday morning look like?
Well, Monday morning is extremely busy, you've got all the short-list interviews.
Oh, goodness, and how long do they go on for?
Well, the last one is due at...to come at 10 o'clock and will probably go on through until 10:30.
And then? Then you've got your Japanese agent and you did tell him you'd probably take him out to lunch.
Yes, well can't pass that up, erm, what's Tuesday morning look like?
Tuesday morning is also very full. You've got a commitee meeting, starts at 9:30, probably won't finish until 12:30.
Huh, huh, And Lunch? Lunch is with your publisher?
Oh, yes, and I do remember that I've got something in the afternoon, erm, from the examining board, haven't I? I've got...
Yes, at 2:30, you're expecting the chief examiner regarding the review report.
Oh, yes, and I've got... I've got somebody's parents coming.
Yes at 4 o'clock, Johan Blun's parents are coming.
And there isn't there a meeting, a principal's meeting after...anyway he didn't want to be that late... erm... well, let's have a look at Monday afternoon. What have we got then?
Well, the lunch with the Japanese agent is probably likely to last until 2:30.
At 2:30, you've got the lawyer regarding the planning permission. Oh, I've... yeah, and?
Well at 3:30 there's a tutorial with Maria Rosa. Oh, well, hang on, erm, look what we can do, you, if you could give the lawyer a ring and ask him if he can fix it, the appointment for Wednesday and if he can't make Wednesday, later this week,
it's not absolutely vital that I should do it then.
And give Maria Rosa a ring also if you can contact her, otherwise you can tell her when she arrives, and erm,
I can give, I can definitely give her, I've got Wednesday clear, haven't I?
So, erm, I can give her a tutorial on Wednesday morning and that gives us two hours so you could ring the Cultural Council and fix it for then. His name's Mr Dennis, I think, isn't it? Yes, so I'll ring and tell him you're expecting him at 2:30 on Monday afternoon. Ok, then. Fine. thank you.
