15 分钟English learners, welcome back to another advanced lesson here at EnglishPod.
My name is Marco.
And I'm Erica.
And today we're going to be back in the office.
That's right.
We are listening in as somebody gets a little bit of trouble from their boss for being a bit late on a project.
All right.
So we're going to be at the office.
Somebody misses a deadline.
And so, well, how do you handle the situation?
Can you do to explain yourself?
And what language can you actually use to talk about missed deadlines and late work?
All right.
So let's see why this person missed the deadline and let's find out what happens.
So I just wanted to check in with you and find out where we are with this project.
As you know, you 've missed a fairly significant deadline last week and this will negatively impact the team's ability
to move forward with the next stages of this project.
I know.
I'm really sorry that I missed the deadline.
But really, it wasn't my fault.
