Speaking Task 6: Dealing with a Difficult Situation

Preparation: 60 seconds Recording: 60 seconds

You and your co-worker have both requested the same days off, but only one of you can be approved for leave due to staffing needs. Your manager has asked the two of you to work it out. Your co-worker believes their leave request is more important because they have family commitments, but you have personal plans that you cannot reschedule.

Choose ONE:
EITHER
Talk to your co-worker. Explain why your leave request should be approved.
OR
Talk to your manager. Explain why your co-worker’s leave request should be denied.
