Previous Counseling

Dear Vera,

I have a business lunch today, so could we do our lesson later in the afternoon?  Maybe at 4:00 PM?  Please confirm.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Dear Jonathan，how about maybe 3pm?

3:15?

Sorry, Vera.  I'm afraid I need to cancel today.  Let's talk this Wednesday at 1:40, focusing on "Bank Transactions" lesson.

Jonathan

好的。

Hi Vera -

I'm afraid I'm not prepared (again!), but let's talk at 1:40 anyway (just reviewing the "Requesting a Raises" lesson) ... / JS

Hi Vera -

I didn't receive your call today at 1:40.  Were we mixed up on the time?  Did you call at 2:45 (I had a missed call then)?  Anyway, my recollection is that we are scheduled to speak by phone each Monday and Wednesday from 1:40 PM to 2:00 PM.  So, can we restart our lessons this coming Monday (March 23)?

Please confirm.

Thanks and best,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan，

I think monday 1:40 is no problem. There is only one problem. It seems 1:40 for me is a little bit difficult, though I tried to handle it. I find I couldn't provide a good lesson. :(

So I am thinking, if you don't mind, could we try to change a teacher who can handle this time better? I am terribly sorry for this. But I think it does more benifit for you!

Hi Vera -

Would 11:30 work for you (20 minutes on Monday/Wednesday only)?  Hope so!  If not, please suggest another teacher for that time.  But please suggest someone who is as capable as you!

Jonathan

One more thing:

Let's do "Requesting a Raise" again today, and then switch to one of the new lessons on Wednesday, e.g. "Bank Transactions" or whichever you recommend.

Jonathan

Dear Jonathan, in that case, then let's try 11:30 first. Thank you very much for your kindness!

For RSS feed, you can send an email to Gulam: "Gulam Subhani" <gulam.subhani@praxislanguage.com>.

Great!  But I now need to adjust my schedule a bit, so let's start NEXT MONDAY (MARCH 30)

Please confirm that starting next Monday at 11:30 is okay with you.

Hi Vera -

I'm writing just to confirm that we have a 20-minute call at 11:30 this morning.  I have gone ahead and studied the vocab from one of the lessons you identified (i.e., "Flatter in the Office").  Talk to you soon!

Jonathan

Sure. :)

Vera:

I'm back in action again after being sick two weeks ago and hosting a senior delegation from my headquarters last week.  Let's start our lessons again this Wednesday (April 29), focusing on the dialogue for "Flattery in the Office."  Then next week we can do "Joining the Chamber of Commerce." Please confirm that this will work for you. 

Best, Jonathan

Vera:

One more thing: can you send me the name, phone number and email address of a technical person at your office who can advise me on RSS "feed" issues?
