2.DearVicky,
I live in Aberdeen,in the north of Scotland.My family live in Cornwall,at the other endof the country.My parents are getting old now,and I really want to go and seethem this Christmas.The problem is my boss.He only gives us 2 days’holiday at Christmas.It’s 500 miles to gofrom Aberdeen to Cornwall and then 500 miles back again,and I’ll be exhausted (筋疲力尽) when I get back.Iwant to ask for more time off,but I don’t get on verywell with my boss.A few months ago,he walked into the room and heard some ofus saying rude things about him.Since then the atmosphere (
气氛) has beenvery difficult.

Dear Anxiousin Aberdeen,
It’s obvious to me that you need to rebuild your relationship with yourboss.You have hurt his feelings,and now that you need something from him.Youhave realized what you have done.There is only one thing to do:it’s time you apologized.I’m sure your bosswill be relieved (宽慰的).If you explain why you need thetime off,he will probably be more than happy to let you go.
Goodluck!
Vicky
