BBC初級口語:你真的要鬆鬆勁了!
VICKI:Now stop worrying about your job Matt.
MATT:But I really do think this job is taking over my life. I've got to slow down.
VICKI:Yes you need to stop working so hard otherwise you'll be too tired to do anything.
MATT:That's right - if I don't slow down, I'm going to burn out...
VICKI:Exactly - and if you burn out through working too hard, you won't be able to do your job properly anyway!
VICKI:So, pace yourself - work more slowly. Don't run out of steam before you get to the top!
MATT:You're right, I don't want to run out of steam - I don't want to use all my energy before I can get promoted again.
