Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod.
My name is Marco.
I'm Amira.
Hey Amira, how are you today?
I'm doing great.
What about you?
I'm doing pretty good.
I'm excited about this lesson that you have for us today.
Yes, it's actually a very, very useful lesson.
It's about someone asking his boss for an assistant.
Oh, okay.
An assistant.
What's an assistant?
Well, it's someone who helps you with your work around the office.
Okay.
Great.
So let's listen to this dialogue, and when we come back,
we'll take a look at all the interesting and useful vocabulary that you'll find.
Like I told you before, we just don't have the resources to hire you an assistant.
I understand that, but the fact is, we're understaffed.
