1. Christine, a deadline was moved up (передвинута) by a client to Monday
morning, can you work over the weekend? Thanks!
Ok, well it sounds like there’s a lot of work that needs to be done between
now and the Monday meeting. It seems a little unreasonable
(необоснованно), and I want to do the best job to do this presentation. If it’s
fixed (согласовано) and we have to do it at 9.00 a.m. on Monday, I totally
understand. Maybe I can stay late or honestly I might …
2. Christine, can you help with this other team’s project? They need an
extra hand (нужна ещё помощь)? Thanks.
I have to be perfectly honest. I am just full up (загружена) this week and the
next. I’m not sure when you want me to start, but given everything static
(учитывая тот факт, что всё уже запланировано), I don’t think I can take
this on (смогу за это взяться). But it does sound interesting and new and
exciting, so maybe we can work together to see how I could make this work.
3. Christine, do you mind (ты не против) taking notes during this meeting?
(This is a large group meeting).
