  • Hello, and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Fei Fei, But I'm not sure where Neil is.

  • It's going a bit crazy out there in the office.

  • Crazy?

  • Yeah.

  • Everybody's arguing and shouting.

  • About what exactly?

  • The mess in the office.

  • The boss says it's untidy and we should clear up after ourselves.

  • He even said that my desk was like a pigsty.

  • Hmm.

  • Well, you'd better staying here and keep out of the way until things have calmed down.

  • Good idea.

  • I'll just let the dust settle.

  • Oh, so the office is messy and dusty.

  • Is that what everyone's arguing about?
