The intro
(Listening Comprehension)
Hey, what's up? This is Mr.Wong speaking. Now, I'm sure that you all know that I'm a really lazy person. I don't clean the house often, I don't fold my blankets, heck, I don't even cook my own food, I just eat out all the time, and I'm always late for work. Right, always late for work. Now that's serious, so my boss had a little pep talk with me earlier this week and told me that if I was late again, he would fire me. So I knew that my job was on the line, and all I had to do was: show up to work on time, easy huh? Yeah, I guess I have to get off my lazy ass and make some changes, and stop binge watching Game of Thrones(美劇:權利的遊戲) late at night. Alright, today's phrase of the day is "be on the line", let's check it out!
