And today with Erica, we're bringing you a great lesson about time.

So, we're going to be teaching you how you can ask for more time.

If you're working on a project at work and you can't finish it on time, you have to ask your boss for more time.

So, to begin our dialogue, Casey needs more time to put together a press kit.

A press kit is something the marketing department will put together, basically pictures, logos, information about the company.

So when a newspaper or a magazine wants to write an article about them, so they have something already prepared that they could give the newspaper or magazine.

So, let's listen to our dialogue for the first time.

And as always, it's going to be at a normal speed, so it might be a little bit difficult to understand.

We'll come back in one minute and tell you about some of the key language.

So, Casey, how are things going with the photos for the press kit?

Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you about that.

I might need to ask for an extension on that deadline.

You've had over a month to get this finalized.

Well, the thing is, we ran into a lot of problems.

I just want to get this finished on time.

I know, and I apologize for the delay, but some things were just beyond my control.

I had trouble booking the photographer, and then Michael was sick for three weeks, so

And the design team lost all the files, so I had to redo the pictures.

I'm not going to put this off any longer, Casey.

Well, let's take a look at some of the language that we saw in this dialogue in Language Takeaway.

It is the last possible date to do something.

So, for example, when we were in school, our teacher would send us homework and say it was for Friday.

Or when you're at work, you have projects that you have to finish by a certain date.

Okay, let's look at our next word, extension.

So, extension and deadline go together, right?

If you can't reach your deadline or you can't make your deadline, you must ask for an extension.

Yeah, an extension is moving the deadline in the future.

So, we ran into some problems in this dialogue.

Let's listen to some more examples of run into so we can understand the meaning.

If you're not careful now, you're going to run into a lot of problems later.

I ran into some trouble with my computer.

If you run into problems, you meet some problems.

So, you would say, I ran into some problems.

I met some problems is wrong, wrong, wrong.

And our last word for language takeaway, delayed.

And this time, it will be a little bit slower, so you can understand some of these phrases we just talked about.
