Do you mind elaborating?
The last few weeks have been really stressful for me. I’ve run out of patience with the extended work hours.

I understand what you’re trying to say.
I work on the new project we’re supposed to release. I start work early in the morning and finish late in the evening. I even have to work during my lunch break on occasion. I no longer have time for myself. I only go home to eat, sleep, and clean.

I’m sorry to hear that.
But, the time when I had to work overtime until 11:00 p.m. to finish my task was the last straw for me. I can’t see myself staying if the situation doesn’t improve anytime soon.

Don’t worry, I’ll talk to your supervisor about it, and I’ll address that problem as soon as possible.

The last few weeks have been really stressful for me. I’ve run out of __________ with the extended work hours.

I understand what you’re trying to say.
I work on the new project we’re supposed to release. I start work early in the morning and finish late in the evening. I even have to work during my lunch break on occasion. I no longer have time for myself. I only go home to eat, sleep, and clean.

I’m sorry to hear that.
But, the time when I had to work overtime until 11:00 p.m. to finish my task was the __________ for me. I can’t see myself staying if the situation doesn’t improve anytime soon.

Don’t worry, I’ll talk to your supervisor about it, and I’ll address that problem as soon as possible.
But still, things may __________ if my supervisor reduces my workload.

PART D_1

PART D_2

So, Emma, what prompted you to arrange this meeting?
To be honest, I’m having trouble keeping up with my workload.

Could you please elaborate?
For me, the previous two weeks have been quite difficult. I’ve run out of __________ with my tasks at work.

What you’re attempting to express makes sense to me.
I’m working on a project that we’re about to release. I start work early in the morning and work until late at night. Sometimes, I’m forced to work throughout my lunch break. I don’t have time for myself anymore. I only eat, sleep, and clean at home.

I am sorry to hear that.
But, __________ when I had to work overtime until midnight to finish my task was the last straw for me. If things don’t change soon, I don’t think I’ll be able to stay.

Don’t worry, I’ll discuss it with your supervisor and resolve the issue as soon as possible.
But still, things may __________ if my supervisor reduces my workload.
