0:07 In this lesson, we will tell you about how to ask for more time from someone.
0:19 So Tracy, have you prepared the project report for NC Enterprise?
0:23 I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. I’d really like an extension on the deadline.
0:29 But you’ve already had a week. Why do you want an extension?
0:32 Well, I’ve been having some problems with my computer.
0:37 I’m not looking for any excuses here. I need the report by the deadline.
0:41 I know, and I sincerely apologize for the delay.
0:46 I want the report on time Tracy. I’m not going to put it off any longer. I don’t know how you’ll do it, but do it.
0:53 I’ll certainly do my best, Frank.
1:02 Where is your Science project, Nash?
1:05 I haven't brought it today, Ms. Suzie.
1:08 Why not? Didn't you know today was the last day to hand it in?
1:13 My report is still incomplete. I’ll need some more time for submission.
1:20 May I know the reason for the delay?
1:23I wasn’t well for the past three weeks, Ms. Suzie. I’ve brought a medical certificate.
1:30 Oh! How much time do you need to complete your report?
1:33 Maybe a week or so.
1:36 Ok. I’ll give you one more week. But you will have to submit the medical certificate to the administration department.
1:43 Thank you. I’ll submit it right now.
1:53 Hey Frank. How have you been?
1:56 I’m good Suzie. How come you are here today?
1:59 I wanted to have an important discussion with you.
2:02 Is it really important? I have a meeting in half an hour.
2:05 It won’t take much time. I just wanted to ask you about your decision on relocating to San Francisco.
2:12 Suzie, I haven’t made a decision about that yet. I need some more time.
2:17 The deadline to submit the paperwork is two weeks from now. How much more time would you need?
2:23 I know it’s important for you. But, you should understand that it will also be a huge step for me and my career.
2:29 I do understand. Take your time. I’ll wait for your final decision.
2:34 Thanks Suzie. I’ll let you know by the end of this week.
2:42 I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. I’d really like an extension on the deadline.
2:55 Well, I’ve been having some problems with my computer.
3:06 I know, and I sincerely apologize for the delay.
3:15 My report is still incomplete. I’ll need some more time for submission.
3:28 I haven’t made a decision about that yet. I need some more time.
3:36 I know it’s important for you. But, you should understand that it will also be a huge step for me and my career.
