I have an appointment with Joans. But I'm terriblly sorry I'm late. She simply says,"that's all right, and it doesn't really matter". But in fact she is serious. She asks me to explain. So I just answer," please don't be like that. Just let me explain. I tried to get here in time, but just after I left home, the car broke down." Unfortunately, she doesn't believe it. I only say that,"yes, and...well... luckily, there was a garage near me, and it took them a while to repair. To tell you the truth, I met an old friend on the street, so we had a chat for a while.
