Jim:
Mr. Zhang, may I ask for half a day’s leave?

张老师,我能请半天假吗?
Teacher:
What’s the matter?

怎么啦?
Jim:
My stomach has been aching for several days and my mother is going to take me to the hospital this afternoon.

我胃疼好几天了,今天下午我妈妈要带我去医院。
Teacher:
I’m sorry to hear that. Go and have a thorough check-up. I hope you’ll get it over soon.

真不幸,去做个彻底检查,希望你早日恢复健康。
Jim:
Thank you.

谢,谢老师。
