Nick: Are you OK? You look like you’re a bit down **in** the dumps.Helen: I am a bit. Can I have a **word** with you about taking so long in the bathroom in the morning?Nick: Oh, I’m so sorry. You **should** have said something earlier.Helen: I didn’t want to bring it **up** before now, but it’s starting to get on my **nerves** that I can’t have a shower before I go to work in the morning. I think we need to work something out.Nick: I really am sorry. What did you have **in** mind?Helen: I thought perhaps we **could** take it in turns to be the first one in the bathroom in the morning. And maybe if you want to have a bath, you could wait until the evening?Nick: That’s fine for the time **being**. It’s **just** that from next month I’ll need to catch an earlier train and that will mean I need to leave the house by 7 a.m.Helen: Well, let’s take turns **for** now and then we’ll talk about it again next month.
