A: You have an unusual accent, Mr. Robbins. Where are you from originally? If you don’t mind me asking.

B: Not at all. I was born in Madrid, but I came to the States when I was a teenager.

B: No, I haven’t been back for more than ten years.

B：不是，我有十多年沒回去了。

Discussing a new manager

A: Have you met the new manager in customer service?

B: No, I haven’t gotten over there in a few weeks. How is he?
