2012届虹口区高三一模英语(15)

2012届上海高考模拟试题

W: Hmm. I don't mean your best isn't good enough, but will you meet the deadline or won't you? M: I must be frank with you. We've run into a few problems.

W: Problems? What kind of problems?

M: Technical problems. Nothing very serious. There's no need to worry.

W: I hope not. According to your contract with us, you’ll have to pay a lot for your late delivery. M: Yes, I'm perfectly aware of that. But do you need the whole order by the 24th?

W: What exactly are you suggesting?

M: You can count on us to get half of the order to you by then.

W: Hmm ... and how long before the other half is delivered?

M: Another week at the most!

W: Hmm ... you're sure that's all?

M: Yes, absolutely! You can depend on us to get half the order to you by the 24th and the other half within a week.

W: Hmm ... yes, that should be all right ... but there must be no further delays!

M: There won't be! Thank you! You've been very understanding. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude.

W: It’s ok. Keep in touch. Bye.
