Sure! Here’s the corrected version of your text with the requested changes:
Hello everyone!
Welcome to "Let’s Talk in English." My name is Esther,
and my name is Garrett. Today’s topic is English you need,
and the name of our lesson is "Talk About Time."
Talk about time? Yes!
Friends, in our English you need lessons,
we choose some topics that are very useful
if you’re trying to use English in your daily life.
And of course,
we all need to talk about time,
and there are many ways to talk about time.
You might look at your watch and say, "It’s 8:15."
Yeah, you might use different ways of talking about time
in the morning and in the afternoon,
and this isn’t the same across the world.
When we talk about time,
there are special words that we use.
We will learn all about this in today’s lesson.
Now to get started learning, here’s
today’s reading: Time is important; we plan things with it.
We plan meetings and activities.
We go to movies or concerts at certain times.
Some days are very busy; there isn’t enough time for everything.
Some people plan every moment of their day,
others don’t plan at all. We also talk about time;
we say things like, "It’s ten minutes past three,"
or "It’s three ten." We can say "12:15" or "a quarter past 12."
Thanks, Esther!
Those are some good different ways to talk about time.
We’ll give you lots of different examples
today as we go through our conversation.
In that conversation, we
need you to do something for us: find the answer to our
"find it" question,
which is: What is Greg late for?
What is Greg late for? Listen carefully to find the answer.
Now, here’s Sonya with today’s keywords.
Sira 說現在的時間是11:15。
"It’s a quarter past eleven."
名詞 "quarter" 就是1/4,
以時間來說,一小時的1/4就是15分鐘,
而他說的 "a quarter past eleven" 就是11點過了15分。
這些詞 "past" 就是過了、超過。
Greg 說,"糟糕,我遲到了。"
遲到什麼呢?他要跟 James 開會,已經遲到了。
"Late for a meeting with James," 名詞 "meeting" 就是會議。
Greg 說自己今天從早忙到晚,"我每一刻都在忙。"
名詞 "moment" 就是片刻、時刻。
Sarah 感嘆地說,有時候真的是這樣,根本就沒有足夠的時間讓你顧到所有的事。
"There just isn’t enough time for everything."
形容詞 "enough" 就是足夠的。
"What time is it, Sarah?"
"It’s a quarter past eleven."
"Oh, eleven fifteen!"
"Oh no, I have to go. I’m late."
"Late for what?"
"Late for a meeting with James."
"Go to your meeting. See you at 12:30."
"Twelve thirty? Yes, we’re having lunch together today."
"Oh right, sorry. I am forgetting everything today."
"It’s okay, no worries."
All right, we are definitely talking about time,
and Greg wants to know what time it is.
He asked Sarah, "What time is it?"
Sarah tells him, "It’s a quarter past eleven."
Another way to say this would be 11:15, because a quarter here means 15 minutes.
That’s because in one hour, there are 60 minutes,
and a quarter, one fourth of that 60 minutes, is 15 minutes.
So a quarter past eleven would be 11:15.
That word "past" here means "after,"
so it’s 15 minutes past or after 11 o’clock.
Sonia, can you help us with this word "past"
when we’re talking about time?
Sarah 說11點過一刻鐘,
"It’s a quarter past eleven."
名詞 "quarter" 是指1/4的意思,在時間上指一小時的1/4,也就是指15分鐘,而 "half" 是一半,即30分鐘。
介系詞 "past" 是超過的意思。
來看例句:
"It’s half past twelve o’clock now."
"現在是12:30。"
或是 "Tell me when it’s a quarter past ten."
"到10:15的時候,告訴我。"
再一句,"Right now, it’s twelve minutes past three."
"現在是3:12。"
Greg says, "Oh no, I have to go. I’m late."
Greg is late, yes.
Sometimes we forget about the time,
then we look at the time and realize we are late. Friends,
if you are late, that means
you should have been somewhere sooner; now
you’re going to be late.
So what is Greg late for?
That’s our "find it" question: What is Greg late for?
He’s late for a meeting with James. Well,
hopefully James is not too upset.
Esther, what is a meeting when we’re talking about work?
A meeting is when you meet someone
because you’re talking about something important,
but you can also go to
a meeting with other people outside of work as well.
Right, the important thing is
a meeting is not a time when you just sit around and have fun.
You are trying to talk about things and probably make decisions.
So Sarah tells Greg, "Go to your meeting. See you at 12:30."
That’s another time. So 12:30 is a bit later,
but Greg seems confused. He says, "12:30?"
Sarah reminds him that they are going to eat lunch together. Yes,
they’re having lunch together.
It sounds like they made plans before to have lunch together.
Today, Greg is reminded, and he says, "Sorry,
I am forgetting everything today."
Poor Greg! Maybe he needs to write it down
or keep the time on his phone to remind him.
He needs to do things at the right time. Yeah,
sometimes keeping a schedule, writing things
down, or asking your phone to remind
you can be pretty helpful.
Sarah tells Greg not to worry. She says, "It’s okay, no worries."
No worries, no worries, friends!
It’s time for our calendar phrase:
No worries. 別擔心.
We were late today.
No worries, the boss is away.
We didn’t finish our work.
No worries, the boss is away.
We played computer games.
Yeah, no worries, the boss is away.
Oh no, the boss is back!
Oh, time to worry.
We say this when we don’t feel bad about something here. Sarah doesn’t mind that Greg is forgetting
things; she says "no worries" to mean you don’t have to worry. Right?
If someone tells you,
"I’m so sorry I forgot to bring what I told you
I would bring," and you don’t mind it, you can say, "No worries."
"No worries."
Friends, it’s time for our quick break.
We’ll be right back with more just after this.
Let’s talk in English.
Welcome back to the show, everyone!
Do you have a lot of meetings in your life?
Sometimes meetings at work can be a little annoying;
they get in the middle of your schedule.
But they can help people make decisions, right?
And it’s helpful before
you go to a meeting to know what question or problem
you want to solve in your meeting.
If you want to have a good meeting,
make sure you prepare, do some research beforehand,
and maybe take some notes.
And now let’s continue to the rest of today’s conversation.
"I’m busy every moment.
Today I have too many things on my schedule."
Some days are like that; there
just isn’t enough time for everything.
"I know I have three meetings today.
I have to make two programs, I have lunch and dinner dates,
and I’m going to a concert tonight."
You do have a busy day!
Wow, it sounds like Greg is very busy today.
He even says he’s busy every moment.
Right here, the word "moment" means a time,
so he’s busy at every time in his day.
Every little bit of time is full.
If he were to write out his schedule, there
would be no times to do anything else.
He does have too many things on his schedule, right?
He needs to plan in a few breaks.
Sarah tells him that some days are like that;
some days you have a lot going on,
there is no moment to take a break.
Yeah, some days there just isn’t enough time for everything.
Let’s talk about that word "enough."
If you have enough of something,
then you have all that you need or maybe even more, right?
If you have enough food,
then it means you don’t need any more food. You might say,
"That’s enough; I don’t want any more."
We often use this word with time; you might say,
"I don’t have enough time to finish my homework."
And we find out why Greg doesn’t have enough time:
He has three meetings,
two programs, and lunch and dinner dates all in one day! Wow!
That does sound like a lot of things to do.
I hope he has enough time to breathe
and take a couple of breaks; that will help him
think clearly. Now,
if you go on a date with someone,
it means you are doing something with them alone.
So he is having lunch with Sarah
and he is having dinner with someone else as well.
Usually, when we use that word "date,"
we’re talking about a romantic date that
a man and woman who like each other will go on together.
Of course, we know that’s not true for Greg and Sarah,
but I’m not sure about that dinner date.
Right? I wonder who Greg’s date will be.
Yes,
the person you go on a date with you can also call them
your date.
Now, let’s go to Sonya for more on this.
Greg 說我午餐和晚餐都有約,
"I have lunch and dinner dates."
名詞 "date" 是約會的意思,不限於交往伴侶之間的碰面,也可以泛指所有人的相約。
來看例句:
"I have a coffee date tomorrow with my best friend."
"我明天和我最好的朋友約了一起喝咖啡。"
"Sure, I can go to the movie tomorrow."
"It’s a date!"
"当然,我明天可以去看电影。"
"约定喽!
再一句,"We have a date to talk about the project." "我們約了要談一下那個專案。"
Thank you, Sonya!
Well, Greg is not finished; he has another thing on his schedule:
he’s going to a concert tonight!
A concert—maybe with the person
he’s having the dinner date with.
When you go to a concert,
you hear people play music or sing, right?
Some concerts could be huge with hundreds of people;
some are smaller and might just be in a small restaurant.
Greg is very busy;
we hope he has time to take a break.
Sarah says, "You do have a busy day."
Yeah,
and I think something we heard earlier is true: some days are like this.
Some days,
you are just going to be that busy,
and you need to get through them.
But if you can help it,
try to schedule in some breaks throughout your day.
And we hope Greg will be as busy tomorrow
and that he will be able to sleep well tonight. Indeed! Well,
Friends, let’s look back at what we learned today and review our keywords.
Here is our first key: "meeting."
"Meeting."
"When is your meeting with the boss?"
"Enough."
"Enough."
"Do you have enough time?"
"Moment."
"A moment."
"Please wait a moment."
"Past."
"Past."
"It’s eight minutes past nine o’clock."
"Quarter."
"Quarter."
"I can meet you in a quarter of an hour."
Friends, those are today’s key words; we hope you remember these words.
And now it’s your turn!
The keywords for today are:
"meeting," "enough," "moment," "past," and "quarter."
Now it’s your turn to use them in a sentence.
First one:
"I have money."
You got it!
"I have enough money."
Next:
"It’s a few minutes noon."
Correct!
"It’s a few minutes past noon."
Next:
"How long was the..."
Good job!
"How long was the meeting?"
Next:
"It’s a past three."
You are right again!
"It’s a quarter past three."
Last one:
"I can help you in a..."
You’re right!
"I can help you in a moment."
Those are all the sentences for today.
Come again for your turn.
"What time is it, Sarah?"
"It’s a quarter past 11."
"Oh, 11:15!"
"Oh no, I have to go. I’m late."
"Late for what?"
"Late for a meeting with James."
"Go to your meeting; see you at 12:30."
"12:30? Yes, we’re having lunch together today."
"Oh right, sorry. I am forgetting everything today."
"It’s okay; no worries."
"I’m busy every moment today.
I have too many things on my schedule."
Some days are like that;
there just isn’t enough time for everything.
"I know I have three meetings today.
I have to make two programs,
I have lunch and dinner dates,
and I’m going to a concert tonight."
"You do have a busy day!"
"Hey, James! How are you today?"
"Busy; I have too many things on my schedule."
"Some days are like that, and today is one of those days."
"You have meetings?"
"Yes!
I have a meeting with the boss,
and I have programs to make. Oh,
and don’t forget you have lunch plans."
"I do? Oh,
who do I have lunch plans with?"
"With me!
Don’t you remember?"
"No, I’m forgetting everything today."
"Oh, you’re just too busy!"
"Yeah, I’m busy every moment."
Well, you know what people say...
"What do people say?"
"It’s good to be busy!"
"Uh, who says that?"
"People who aren’t busy!"
"Very funny!"
"It’s true."
Now it’s time to review. Here is our first question:
How many meetings does Greg have today?
How many meetings does Greg have today?
You can find the answer in the conversation.
B. He has three meetings today.
Here’s our other question:
What is on your schedule today?
What is on your schedule today?
Here are our friends with their answers.
"What is on my schedule today?
I have a lot of things to do,
so I don’t have a lot of time to talk.
But thank you for asking. Right now,
I need to go to the store to buy a lot of things for my next..."
"How to talk? I’ll see you later."
"What’s on my schedule today?
Well, let’s take a look...
Oh haha, not too much.
I need to go grocery shopping, though.
Oh,
and I’m going to meet a friend for coffee; that should be fun.
And I do need to stop by the office,
but just to pick up something. Looks like a good day!"
"What is on my schedule today?
Well, I have work all day,
and after I get off from work,
I go and pick up my kids.
Then I take them back home,
and I have to cook dinner.
And after dinner, I have to wash the dishes,
and then I have to wash my clothes and everyone else’s clothes,
and then it’s bedtime for them."
"How about you?
What is your day like today?"
"What is on my schedule today?
Well, there is so much on my schedule; I have a very busy day.
This morning I have several deadlines;
I have to make sure my work is done before noon.
And then this afternoon I have a doctor’s appointment.
Maybe there’s too much on my schedule."
"What is on my schedule today?
Well, friends, you know I like to travel,
but I need to write about where I travel
and what I do. It takes me a lot of time.
And I also need to go through my pictures
and find the right pictures to go with the post
I write for my blog.
So that’s what I need to do today."
Friends, today we’ve talked about some time words.
Remember, a quarter past twelve is 12:15.
There are lots of words
we need to learn to talk about time.
We’ll be back with more of them tomorrow,
that’s right here on "Let’s Talk in English." Goodbye!

修正英文文法,保留中文部分,同時將簡體中文修改為繁體中文
Hello friends!
Welcome to Let’s Talk in English.
My name is Garrett and my name is Esther today.
Our topic is English units and our title is "Talk About Time."
Yes, friends, it is time for us to talk about time.
Every day, we have things to do and places to be; we want to be on time.
Right? If you are not on time, then you are late. Sometimes, people are late because they don’t have enough time.
Do you have any meetings today?
That’s when people gather together to make decisions or talk about important things.
And yesterday, we learned the word "quarter" (or one fourth) to use when we talk about time.
Quarter past an hour would be 15 minutes past or after that hour, right?
So these are a few of the words you’ll need to talk about time when you’re discussing your day.
In today’s lesson, we’ll talk about plenty more.
Now let’s go to our "Find It" question: What will James buy for Julie?
Friends, after this, you will hear our conversation, and you can try to find the answer to that question.
Remember, if you are buying something, it means you are paying money to get a thing or a service.
It’s like selling: if you are giving something away to try and get some money, then you are selling that thing.
What will James buy for Julie?
Listen carefully to find the answer.
Now, let’s go to Sonya with our keywords.
今天晚上大家要一起去看電影,茱莉說她可能會遲到,但還是會盡量準時。
"But I’ll do my best to make it on time."
慣用語 "on time" 就是准時。
她想請 James 先幫她買好爆米花。
"Can you buy some popcorn for me?"
名詞 "popcorn" 就是爆米花。
茱莉說:"Thank you."
James 回答:"Any time," 不客氣。
慣用語 "any time" 表示不客氣的意思。
茱莉說這部電影應該很好看,她真的很想看。
James 說他也是打算要抽出時間看這部片子。
"I wanted to make time to see it too."
慣用語 "make time" 就是騰出時間。
助理說他很喜歡看電影,但是只是偶爾去看。
"But I’d only go now and then."
慣用語 "now and then" 就是偶爾。
"Are you going to the movie tonight with everyone?"
"Yes, but I may be a little late."
"Why?"
"I have to do a few errands after work, but I’ll do my best to make it on time."
"We’ll be watching for you."
"Can you buy some popcorn for me?"
"That will save me some time."
"Sure, I’ll get you a drink too."
"That would be great, thank you."
"Any time."
James starts us off by asking about some plans for going to a movie.
Right, he is asking Julie, "Are you going to the movie tonight with everyone?"
It sounds like many people at work are going to the movie together, right?
I always find it difficult to schedule big group events like this.
It can be hard to find a time when everyone can go together, right?
Because things come up, and often people are late.
Julie says that she may be a little late.
She may be a little late; James wonders why. What does Julie have to do?
Well, Julie says, "I have to do a few errands after work."
An errand is a trip that you need to make—maybe going to the bank, going to the post office, or going to the supermarket.
Now, errands aren’t trips that you go on for fun; they are things that you need to do.
They are kind of like chores that you do outside the house.
Julie also says that she will try her best to make it on time.
If you are on time, then you are not late. If you need to meet at 6 PM, then she will get there before or by 6 PM.
If you do your best at something, you try to do it even if you’re not sure if you will succeed, but you’ll do what you can.
Shame says, "We’ll be watching for you."
Sonia, can you help us with this sentence?
James 說 "我們會留意你的。"
"We’ll be watching for you."
慣用語 "watch for" 在這裡指的是注意周圍,以便尋找。
來看例句:
"Don’t worry about being late; we’ll be watching for you."
"不要擔心遲到,我們會留意你的到來。"
或是 "Everyone is here but Steve, but we’re watching for him."
"除了 Steve,大家都到了,不過我們正在留意他的到來。"
"Watch for" 的另一個意思是期盼等候。
來看例句:
"Everyone is watching for the movie star to arrive."
"每個人都在等候這位電影明星的到來。"
Thank you, Sonia.
Now, when people go to watch movies, they enjoy snacks and drinks.
But friends, what will James buy for Julie?
That was today’s "Find It" question.
He will buy popcorn and a drink for her.
When you go to the movies, do you like to eat and drink anything?
Popcorn might be the most popular snack at movie theaters.
Popcorn is a snack where you take a small piece, a kernel of corn, and you use heat and oil to make it pop.
Then when you eat it, it’s a little crispy.
Yeah, it opens up and becomes much easier to eat.
It’s easy when you’re watching a movie to eat lots of popcorn quickly.
It goes well with a drink because it’s a little salty.
Now Julie asks for the popcorn, but James is a nice friend; he says that he’ll get a drink for her too.
Yeah, that will be nice since she might be a little bit later.
That way, she doesn’t have to line up for these things.
James is happy to help her out; he says, "Any time."
Right, when you say "any time," it means you are willing to help someone anytime they need help.
You will be willing to help them, yeah.
If you’re a good friend or a family member, you might be happy to help someone anytime.
Now, of course, this probably doesn’t mean James will help Julie out literally at any time, like in the middle of the night, but he’s usually happy to help.
Right, he has a willing heart.
James is a good friend and also a good coworker.
Well, friends, it is time for us to take a break, slow down, get a little stretching in, and we’ll be right back just after this.
Let’s talk in English.
That’s the way!
Welcome back everyone!
Let’s talk more about errands and see if we can come up with five different ones.
Okay, I’ll start:
I need to go to the supermarket to buy milk.
Okay, I need to go to the bank to get some money.
I need to go to the stationary store to buy a pen.
Hmm, I need to go to the baseball field to pick up my son.
I need to go to the post office to mail a letter.
Those are all errands that you might have to do.
Let’s go back to our conversation.
"I really want to see this movie; it’s supposed to be really good."
"I know; I wanted to make time to see it too."
"Do you go to a lot of movies?"
"I do; I like movies a lot."
"Me too, but I only go now and then."
"So you just choose the best ones?"
"I try to; I don’t like to waste my time on bad ones."
"Neither do I."
Well, it sounds like Julie is excited for tonight, even though she might be a little bit late.
She does want to see this movie, right?
And she says that it is supposed to be very good.
If something is supposed to be good, it means that you have heard about it or read about it, and you think that it will be good.
Yeah, other people have said that it’s good.
This doesn’t mean you will like it necessarily, but it will probably be pretty good.
James says that he knows he’s heard that it’s supposed to be really good as well.
That’s why he says he wanted to make time to see it.
Wow, is he a magician? Can he make time out of nothing?
No, here "make time" means you will put time aside or you will plan it in your schedule to do it.
You’ll decide not to schedule anything else during that time so you can do this specific thing.
Let’s go to Sonya as we make time for her lesson.
James 說:"沒錯,我也一直想抽空去看。"
"I wanted to make time to see it too."
慣用語 "make time" 表示騰出時間。
"Make time" + 動詞或 "make time for" + 名詞,表示為了某件事特別去改動計劃,騰出時間來。
來看例句:
"He made time to go to the park with his daughter."
"他騰出時間來陪他的女兒去公園。"
或是 "Please make time to have dinner with me."
"請騰出時間來與我共進晚餐。"
再一句 "He can’t make time for a meeting right now."
"他現在無法騰出時間來開會。"
Thank you, Sonya!
So Julie says, "Do you go to a lot of movies?"
She wants to know if James does, and James says that he does; he likes to watch movies and he likes movies a lot.
Now, remember, if we say "you go to the movies," this means you are going to the movie theater or the cinema to watch movies.
You’re not watching movies at home.
But surely, she doesn’t go to the movie theater too often.
She says, "I only go now and then."
Okay, so she’s going now, like tonight.
And when is then? Well, we don’t know when that is, but "now and then" just means not too often.
Yeah, "now and then" is not talking about two specific times; it just means she goes sometimes—not often.
But she will go when she wants to.
"I only go now and then."
That’s today’s calendar phrase:
I only go now and then.
我偶爾才去。
Do you go to the movies?
I only go now and then.
Do you go to fancy restaurants?
Yeah, I only go now and then.
Do you go to basketball games?
Hey, I only go now and then.
Why not go more often?
I can only afford to go now and then.
Me too, yeah. I only go now and then.
Julie only goes to the movies now and then; she tries to choose the best ones, right? She only chooses the ones she thinks will be really good because she says she doesn’t like to waste her time on bad ones.
I understand that; even though I don’t go to the movie theater very often either, sometimes I’ll watch a movie on my TV at home, and I’ll feel like I wasted my time—it’s just a bad movie, right?
And when you feel like you waste your time, you feel like you used the time and didn’t get anything done, right?
Of course, we all have lots of things we need to do in our lives.
We might have chores, errands, or things we want to learn, so if we waste our time on unimportant things, we might as well do those other things.
I think Julie is smart; there are a lot of movies out there, but not everyone is a good movie.
Just watch the ones you think will be good ones, yeah.
Maybe you can look up some ratings to see which movies are supposed to be good before you start watching.
James also doesn’t want to waste his time watching bad movies; he says, "Neither do I."
Well, we know something that is not a waste of time: it’s reviewing our keywords.
Let’s do that now.
Here is our first keyword:
On time
"Please be on time for work."
Popcorn
"Nancy likes to eat popcorn."
Any time
"Thanks for helping me any time."
Make time
"Please make time to see her."
Now and then
"She only eats candy now and then."
Friends, those are today’s keywords.
You’re doing a great job, and now it’s your turn.
Today’s keywords are:
On time, popcorn, any time, make time, and now and then.
Now, it’s your turn to use them in a sentence.
First: "___ is a good snack."
You got it! "Popcorn is a good snack."
Next: "Can she ___ for a meeting?"
Correct! "Can she make time for a meeting?"
Next: "Tim is never late; he’s always ___."
You’re right! "Tim is never late; he’s always on time."
Next: "I only take the bus ___."
That’s it! "I only take the bus now and then."
Last one: "I appreciate your advice."
Good job! "I appreciate your advice any time."
Did you guess all the correct words?
That’s great! See you next time for your turn.
"Are you going to the movie tonight with everyone?"
"Yes, but I may be a little late."
"Why?"
"I have to do a few errands after work, but I’ll do my best to make it on time."
"We’ll be watching for you."
"Can you buy some popcorn for me?"
"That will save me some time."
"Sure, I’ll get you a drink too."
"That would be great, thank you."
"Any time."
"I really want to see this movie; it’s supposed to be really good."
"I know; I wanted to make time to see it too."
"Do you go to a lot of movies?"
"I do; I like movies a lot."
"Me too, but I only go now and then."
"So you just choose the best ones?"
"I try to; I don’t like to waste my time on bad ones."
"Neither do I."
"Hey James, let’s do something fun tonight."
"We are doing something fun tonight; remember?"
"No."
"We’re going to the movies with friends."
"We are? I didn’t know."
"Sorry, I was so busy, I forgot to tell you."
"You forgot?"
"Yes, I forget things now and then, especially when I’m busy."
"Well, I’m glad you finally remembered to tell me."
"Me too! The movie starts in an hour; we don’t want to be late."
"We have plenty of time; why hurry?"
"So we can buy popcorn and drinks before the movie starts."
"That’s right—and bananas!"
"More bananas!"
"Always more bananas!"
"Oh, it’s getting late; I need to get ready to go."
Hi everyone! Welcome to Jack’s file. I’m Jack.
I’m going to meet some friends for dinner in thirty minutes; I need to get ready to go.
I don’t want to be late. Time is important.
It helps us plan our day and know when things will happen.
Time allows us to plan meals, meetings, and activities with people in our lives.
We go to movies or concerts at certain times.
Some days are very busy; there isn’t enough time for everything.
Some people plan every moment of their day; others don’t plan at all.
To tell time, we use numbers and words like a clock:
"Half past" or "quarter to."
We can say things like "It’s five fifteen" or "It’s quarter past five."
We can also say "Half past eight," which means the same thing as "eight thirty."
We say things like "It’s ten minutes past three" or "three ten."
We can say "twelve forty-five" or "quarter to one."
Many people are very careful about time; they don’t want to be late to an appointment or meeting.
It is important to them to be on time for things.
In order to be on time for something, they have to leave in time.
Leaving in time means giving yourself enough time to get to a place.
Okay, I’m ready to go; I need to leave now so I can be on time.
I’m looking forward to spending some time with my friends and enjoying a good meal too.
Goodbye everyone! See you next time on Jack’s file.
Well, I think we had a great reminder at the end of our lesson today.
There are so many things we could be doing, so it’s best not to waste our time.
Right? It’s really easy to waste time. Sometimes I check a message, and before I know it, I’ve checked ten messages, and I’ve wasted ten minutes.
Yeah, so maybe try to spend less time on those things that aren’t so important.
But you don’t have to be perfect!
Yes, thanks for joining us!
We’ll see you again tomorrow right here on Let’s Talk in English.
Goodbye!
