🗄 The Office - I need an assistant! 🗄

A: ...like I told you before, we just don’t have the resources to hire you an assistant.

B: I understand that, but the fact is we’re understaffed.

A: The timing is just not right. The economy is bad, and it’s too risky to take on new staff.

B: Yeah, I guess you’re right... Here’s an idea, what if we hire an intern? She would take some of the weight off my shoulders.

A: She?

B: Yeah, you know, a recent graduate. She could give me a hand with some of these projects and we could keep our costs down.

A: That sounds reasonable... Let me see what I can do.

A: Tony, I’d like to introduce you to your new assistant.

B: OK, great! Let’s meet her!

C: Hi, I’m Adam.

B: Oh... hi... I’m Tony...

🗣Speaking Tip: Don’t say “I’m fine”❌


Here are how native English speakers respond to “How are you?”

✨How are you?
🗣– I’m good, thanks. You?

✨How’s it going?
🗣– It’s going pretty good. And you?

✨How are you doing?
🗣– I’m doing great, thanks. Yourself?

✨How’s it going?
🗣– Ah, things have been better. What about you?

⚠️When you’re not doing so great, say “I’m not doing that great” instead of saying “so-so.”

✨Hey, what’s up?
🗣– Hey, what’s up?

✨How do you do?
🗣– How do you do?

⚠️“How do you do?” is not a question, asking how you’re doing. It’s just a formal way of saying “hello”. So the proper response is:

🗣“How do you do?”,
🗣“Hello”, or
🗣“Nice to meet you.”

So now that you know, stop saying “I’m fine” every time someone asks you “How are you?”🙂
