23. Express Disagreement


A: Hey! Are you busy?

B: Not at the moment. What's going on?

A: I wanted to run something by you. It's an idea for work.

B: Okay, shoot.

A: Well, I'm thinking of asking my boss to change the work schedule.

B: Why? What's your idea?

A: It's to change from five, eight-hour days, to four, ten-hour days.

B: Wow. That's a big change. I don't think he'll go for it.

A: It's still 40 hours per week, and everyone will get an extra day off.

B: I don't think it will work. It's not a good idea.

A: Why is it not a good idea?

B: Companies should be open five days a week. Sorry, I don't like it.
