Dialogue
Changing an appointment –Schimbarea datelor legate de o întâlnire

John: Tom, this is John. I am afraid I will have to cancel our appointment on Thursday
lunchtime, my partner will be out of the office that day. Would it be possible to set up another
meeting for the next week?
Tom: Well, it is not very convenient. I am a very busy man and my diary is very full for that
week already.
John: Would you like to suggest another date that suits you?
Tom: Let’s see. I could make two weeks on Wednesday. Or we would have to postpone until the
Friday after that.
John: Could you bring forward our appointment? For example at the end of this week or before
Thursday next week?
Tom: The only possibility I can see is a breakfast meeting on Monday. I shall have to juggle with
one or two other appointments, though. Otherwise I have no other free moments.
John: That should be fine. What time would you like me to arrive?
Tom: 7.30 sharp. I can give you an hour and a half.
John: Thank you. I will be at your bank at 7.30, then. Please accept my apologies for this
inconvenience.
Tom: Yes. Goodbye John.
