[BCM 전화영어, 민병철유폰 토익스피킹 Unit 24 Part 5. Q. 10. feat. Ryan]
Q10. Hi, is that Mario? It’s Kay here. I’m calling from my cell phone on the M25 just outside of London. It looks like I won’t be able to make it to the meeting on time. It seems there’s been an accident on the motorway, I can see a couple of ambulances and police cars in the distance and the traffic isn’t moving at all. I don’t have access to the internet so could you check the traffic update and let me know what’s happening? Please apologize to Mr. Stevens for me and tell him I’ll see him at the meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
A. Hey, Kay. This is Mario. I'm sorry to here your siuation.
I already heard about morining traffic jam on the M25, Lundon. So, I just checked the traffic report from news. There was a seven car pile-up(*쌓이다, 다중추돌) there about twenty minutes ago becasuse of heavy snow. The report says that they are trying to get traffic moving as quickly as they can.
You have a two solutions that can solve this problem. First one is just keep waiting until They are picking up this pieces. Maybe It takes about 15 minutes. Otherwise, Is there another way? You just find a different way to go to your another destination. I will make sure Mr.Stevens gets your message. It happens all the time in winter. He totally understand this. Good luck to you !
