Hello, Jen.
Hi, everyone.
Hey, Jen.
I have some news for you.
Oh yes?
What is it?
I was standing next to the water cooler when I heard the boss talking.
He said that he's going to give everyone at work a holiday for free.
A free holiday?
Yes, I'm sure that's what he said.
Oh, don't make me laugh.
Well, it does sound too good to be true.
Jen said don't make me laugh in English.
This is something you can say when you think something is not going to happen.
And I don't think the boss is going to give us a holiday, especially a free one.
