The intro
(Listening Comprehension)
Hey, what's up? This is Mr.Wong speaking. Now, I'm sure that you all know that I'm a really lazy person. I don't clean the house often, I don't fold my blankets, heck, I don't even cook my own food, I just eat out all the time, and I'm always late for work. Right, always late for work. Now that's serious, so my boss had a little pep talk with me earlier this week and told me that if I was late again, he would fire me. So I knew that my job was on the line, and all I had to do was: show up to work on time, easy huh? Yeah, I guess I have to get off my lazy ass and make some changes, and stop binge watching Game of Thrones(美剧：权利的游戏) late at night. Alright, today's phrase of the day is "be on the line", let's check it out!
