Office口语 65征求老板意见

Requesting boss’ criticism

A: Mr. Farmington? Would you take a look at these catalogue ads that Roger did? I don’t think we can use them.

B: Hmm. I see what you mean. Have you spoken with Roger? He usually does better work than this.

A: I know, Mr. Farmington. But, I’m not sure that I should bring this up with him. I think it would be better if you spoke¹ to him.

B: All right. Leave these ads with me. I’ll speak to him this morning.
