Mr. Miller, you were late for work, weren't you?
Yes, I'm very sorry.
Why did you get here so late?
I watched TV till very late last night.
What was on?
It was an exc iting football match. France against Germany. When the France were about to win... So, I got up late and didn't have breakfast and left home in a hurry.
Did you catch the train?
No, I called for a taxi. There were a lot of cars and buses on the highway. Unfortunately an accident happened. Then, there was a traffic jam. I was very anxious...
What happened after that?
The police came and solved the problem. I waited for a long time. When I got to the office, it was already 10 o'clock.
I hope that you won't be late again. Otherwise I will fire you.
Sure, I'll never be late again.
