Since you are not working on your shift, You should let our system know that you changed your schedule. Could you FILL this form OUT? Dr. Munroe: Sure! Humm...

Hey Mr. Ross! Thanks for the comments! I am studying phrasal verbs and I am practicing my list by typing examples during some days. I will surely check your profile out!

Hey there, Raphael, Excellent work in the 'phrasal verb' department -- the only comment I would leave is in regards to the receptionist's line towards the end, "If you know the reason, you can do it." While this is grammatically correct, it sounds a bit robotic or unnatural. Perhaps a more normal response would be, "If you know the reason, you can do so," or simply, "If you know the reason, you can." You could also convey the invitation to 'express the reason Dr. Churchill did not attend' by using another phrasal verb ("If you know the reason, go ahead!") or an idiomatic expression ("If you know the reason, be my guest!"). For more practice and conversation, feel free to check out my teacher profile on Italki! Best, Ross
