Match these replies (1-5) to the things (a-e) the people say in A below.

1) I suppose so: it would have been good to meet. Look forward to hearing from you when you're less busy.

2) The 22nd... I'm going to be on holiday. What about the 29th?

3) The afternoon would be no problem. How about at three?

4) Wednesday's going to be difficult. Can you make the next day?

5) Yes, the same day the following week would be fine.

A Here are some ways of changing arrangements.

a) I can't make Tuesday (Tuesday is not possible). Something has come up (has occurred to prevent our meeting). I've got to go over to Ber-lin to see a client. How about Wednesday?

b) I think we said Thursday at 11. Can you make the afternoon in-stead? (Is it possible for you to meet in the afternoon?)

с) We're going to have to change our arrangement for the 15th. Can we put it off (delay it) till the 22nd? I'd completely forgotten we have a departmental meeting that day.

d) I'm afraid Monday won't be possible after all. I'm going to be very busy that day. What about the following week?

e) We're going to have to put back (delay) our meeting. I'm com-pletely snowed under (very busy) at the moment. Can we leave it open (decide not to fix a day) for the time being? I'll get back in touch (con-tact you again) when I'm not so busy.
