👉🏻CONVERSATION
M: The bank is closing within an hour; do you think you can make it in time?
W: My client is supposed to be here 15 minutes ago though. Anyway, I think she will show up soon.
M: I learned from another colleague that your big client is from Canada. Is that so?
W: Yeah, she is from Quebec. It’s a French culture there. Different from other Canadian provinces.
M: Oh…then you might have to wait a little longer, because I heard that French people are not as punctual as they are supposed to be. They are more relaxed with their lives.
