The Heating Is Not Working
米拉给房东打电话：暖气已经两天不热了。
和房东的一通电话。注意米拉怎样既客气又坚定——还有最后到底约定了什么。
Hello, Mr Patel. This is Mira from the second floor. I am sorry to call so late.
No problem, Mira. What can I do for you?
The heating in my flat has not been working since Sunday. It is very cold, and at night it is even worse.
Since Sunday? Why did you not call earlier?
I thought it would come back by itself. I also tried turning it off and on again, but nothing happened.
I see. The man who usually repairs it is on holiday until Thursday. I can ask another company, but they are more expensive.
I understand, but I cannot wait until Thursday. I work from home, and it is only fourteen degrees in the living room.
You are right. I will call the other company this evening. Can somebody let them in tomorrow morning?
Yes, I am at home all day. When will they come?
Probably between eight and ten. And if you need it, I can bring you a small heater later today.
That would be great. Thank you very much.

Yes, I am at home all day.
Good. And I can bring you a small heater this evening.
Thank you very much.
