In this episode we're going to listen to a conversation about discussing a eating time. Let's start now.
女：你干嘛呢？ 
男：我忙着呢！还有一点儿东西没写完。 
女：天啊，你最近怎么这么忙！

女：那我们找时间一起去吃饭吧！我请你。
 男：行呀，不过我太忙了。 
女：你星期五晚上有时间吗？ 
男：我星期五晚上要加班。 
女：星期六中午呢？ 
男：星期六中午我约了一个大学同学，不行啊。 
女：要不星期六晚上吧？ 
男：晚上吃太多不好吧，不健康。 
女：那就只能星期天中午了。 
男：可以。 
女：我上午约了人逛街，大概要到12点吧。 
男：那咱们12点半见吧。还是那个牛排店。

One Minute Speaking Challenge: Conflict at work

The goal for these challenges is to inspire you to express your opinions and have you think in English more.

How do you define a conflict? Why might it arise? What 'position' do you want to take in a conflict? Are you the blamer or are seeking for a win-win scenario?

Some useful idioms that you can incorporate in your story are:

1. Backlog: A large accumulation of uncompleted work.
2. Get the ball rolling: To start a project or task.
3. Bend over backward: To make a significant effort to help someone.

I hope today's topic will inspire you to express yourself more leaving no space for not practicing :)

Share it with friends and let me know how I can help you.

To your success
