〜の時だけ
I only get a lesson when I finish work early.
I enjoy to plan the route/way on how to trek to the top.
Listening A
A: Well, the shareholders are pretty angry, but we need to explain that the product launch was delayed primarily because of the blackout, not human error.
B: Should we explain the reason for the blackout?
A: Not at the start. We need to start the meeting in a positive way. We'll only get into the reason for the problem after we've assured everyone that we can reschedule the launch for next month.
B: Okay, but you should probably handle that part.
Listening B
A: This bridge closure affected a lot of people. I think we need to be very clear on how we're going to handle the question and answer session.
B: I don't mind fielding questions. I am the chief engineer after all.
A: Thanks. I'll only open the floor for questions once the audience has calmed down a little. If I get anything technical, I'll hand it straight over to you.
