Eliz:         Now it’s time for Gary’s Tips with Gary Engleton!

 

Gary:        Hello, Elizabeth!  Today I’ll be talking about accepting an apology.

 

                 When Sarah first apologizes, Mark responds with the expressions “Don’t worry.It’s no problem.”

 

Sarah:      Oh, Mark!I’m so sorry I’m late.

 

Mark:      Don’t worry.

 

                 It’s no problem.

 

Gary:        After Sarah explains further, Mark accepts her apology, saying “I understand.”

 

                 Let’s listen.

 

Sarah:      Thank you, but I really must apologize.

 

                 I couldn’t get a taxi.

 

                

 

 

 

 

 

Mark:      Oh, I understand.

 

Gary:        These expressions are similar to the words that Mr. Blake used to accept Mr. Chapman’s apology.

 

Chap:       I’m very sorry for not meeting you earlier, but with my fatherin the hospital....

 

Blake:      I understand completely.It wasn’t a problem.

 

Gary:        After Mr. Blake accepts Mr. Chapman’s apology, it is time to get down to business.

 

Chap:       Well, I know that you’re getting ready to return to Beijing, so we should get right down to business.

 

Blake:      Good.

 

                  I’d like to finalize things before I leave.

 

Gary:        Business meetings always begin with some small talk, but at some point it is time to get down to business.

 

                 Thanks for joining us today for Gary’s Tips.

 

Eliz:         Thanks, Gary!
