Getting Something Fixed
Lee: How long do you think it’ll take to fix it?
Repairman: Hard to tell. Sometimes we can find the problem
right away and
sometimes it may take an hour or two.
Lee: Should I wait or come back later?
Repairman: Suit yourself, but it’s probably better to come back later.
Lee: You will get it fixed today, won’t you?
Repairman: I don’t see any problem. We should have it ready for you
by three at
the latest. But, better call before you come.
Lee: Okay. Thanks a lot. |
