  • Hello, and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Feifei.

  • And I'm Rob.

  • Now, Feifei, can you help me with this social media post I'm trying to write?

  • I'll try.

  • What do you want to say?

  • Well, I want to post something about how tired I am because I've been working so hard and how I just can't go on.

  • Hmm.

  • It looks like you're looking for sympathy.

  • Sympathy?

  • No.

  • I just want to tell people how exhausted I am because I'm so hard working.

  • You just don't understand.

  • I completely understand.

  • You are sad fishing.

  • Sad fishing?

  • I don't even like fish.

  • No, Rob, you're fishing for sympathy.
