Do you know how to politely ask for your colleague's attention? Maybe you need to talk to them, but they are already in the middle of another task. You can use these common phrases...
"Can I borrow you for a minute?" - This is a polite way of asking someone for their time. It implies that you only need a small amount of their time and that you value their input.
"Can I have a quick word?" - This is another way of asking for someone's attention. It's a more direct approach than the first example, but still polite and respectful.
"Do you have a moment?" - This phrase is a bit more informal than the first two, but it still conveys the same message. It's a good option to use if you have a closer relationship with the person you're speaking to.
"Can we talk in private for a minute?" - If you need to discuss a sensitive or confidential matter, this phrase is a good choice. It lets the person know that you need to speak to them in a more secluded location.
Remember, it's important to be clear and concise when you're asking for someone's time. These phrases are all polite and respectful ways to get your colleague's attention. Do you know any others?

Layers - a haircut with different lengths of hair to add volume and texture

Hi,
How are you?
Do you know this English phrase?
If someone says that they have bigger fish to fry, it means that they have something more important to do.
For example, "Do you want to come to the cinema tonight?", "No, I have bigger fish to fry - I have tickets to a concert."
Do you have something similar in your native language?

It's Sunday afternoon and my lessons are done for the day.
I'm going to watch the football and then maybe a movie. I might even be allowed a glass of wine later.
What have you guys all got planned for your Sunday afternoons?

What foods do people either love or hate?
In the UK we have a product called Marmite. It is a salty paste made from yeast. It's the type of thing that people either love or they hate. The company advertising slogan is even "Love it or hate it". There is no middle ground!
Are there any foods in your countries that divides people like this?
