  • Hello, I'm Helen and I'm here today to co present the English We Speak.

  • And the presenter is Rosie.

  • Where is she?

  • Hi, I'm Rosie.

  • Hi Helen.

  • I'm sorry I'm late.

  • The traffic you know.

  • Is it that bad?

  • I live in North London like you and I've managed to be here on time.

  • Maybe you should take a different route so you wouldn't be late anymore.

  • Yesterday you were a bit late too.

  • And the day before I saw when you arrived in the middle of an important meeting.

  • This is not good.

  • I know the boss was not pleased and he called me afterwards into his office.

  • He says he will throw the book at me.

  • Oh, that's bad.

  • That's very bad.
