I hear that Peter is going to resign as the vice president of our Students' Union. As a matter of fact, he's so disappointed that he was not elected president this year. He is quitting now. Don't you try to talk your wife out of smoking? Yes. I have been trying for many years. But whatever I say to her goes in one ear and out the other. Our project ran into serious trouble. My partner and I hold totally different ideas about how to carry it on. I think you should try to meet each other halfway. Mr. Thatcher, I'm afraid I'll be one day or two late for my rent. My paycheck doesn't come on time this month. That's all right. We allow a grace period until this Friday.
