36. I'd like to give you a situation for you to act out. You were planning to meet your friend on the weekend. However, your parents called and told you that they were going to visit you on the weekend. Now you have to call your friend and explain your situation.
Hello? is this Brain? It's me David. Are you available to talk now?
Well, do you remember we planned to see this weekend? I'm really sorry but my parents just called me and said they would visit me this weekend. I asked them if they could come later but you know what they are always busy with their business. So I think we can't see then.
I'm really sorry to cancel in such short notice. Instead. I'll do anything to make up. I'll buy a great dinner at whatever restaurant you pick. Okay? Thanks for understanding. bye.
