Conversation 185 (Listen and Read)

I need to head to the party supply store to grab some decorations for the launch party next week.

The store on High Street was recommended for having a great selection.

Will you come with me?

I've never been in charge of something like this before.

Ah, I'm sorry, I can't today.

I have to finish the budget for next year by the end of the day.

I will have a few hours free tomorrow, if you want to go then?

I'm totally booked tomorrow.

It is my big presentation with the new clients.

I am pretty stressed out about it,

I wish I didn't have to leave the office to get these supplies.

Maybe ask Karen to take over the task.

She mentioned that she had a slow period,

so I am sure she would be happy to leave the office for a little bit and prepare for the party.
