Situation one
You are planning to go on holiday with your old school friends. You are anxious to start booking flights etc. but you suspect
one of your friends hasn’t told their partner yet because their partner doesn’t like you or your friends. You speak to him/her
to ask about the situation.
Situation two
You are driving with your colleague to an important meeting but have been stuck in traffic caused by road works for the last
hour. You are both getting anxious about being late and are annoyed as you are commonly delayed by road works.
a
Well, time is money. The price of the flights is going up all the time.
You need to
make up your mind
soon.
b
Fantastic! It’ll be a brilliant holiday!
c
Did you see those guys ‘working’ on the road! Just
killing time
until they
can go home and not doing anything. Unbelievable!
d
Anyway, looks like the traffic is getting better now. We may get there just
in
the nick of time.
e
Yeah I know. We need to
make up for lost time.
I’m going drive as fast
as I can.

So, have you told your partner yet about the holiday?

You’re incredible! We only see each other as a group
once in a blue moon.
Why the delay?

Not exactly, I’m just
biding my time

waiting for the right moment to
say something.

OK, OK.
I’ll phone right now.

Those road works were terrible! We’re going to be late for the meeting.

Tell me about it!
Time after time
I drive down this road and there are
road works but nobody working.

I think we will. But don’t get us killed on the way!

I know I’ve been
dragging my feet
but I have to wait until he’s/she’s
in a good mood.

Good idea. We’re going to be really
pressed for time.
