M: You look pale, Stephanie. What’s wrong?
W: I don’t feel good. I have a bad headache. In fact, I haven’t got much sleep this past week, and I feel really tired.
M: Why don’t you go to see a doctor?
W: Yeah, I think I should. But I have a report due tomorrow. Ms. Jenkins needs it for the board meeting next Monday.
M: Well, it’s Wednesday today. Why don’t you talk to Ms. Jenkins, and ask if you can hand it in on Friday morning?
W: Maybe I should try. I guess I just need a good sleep. Thanks, George.
M: If you need any help with the report, just let me know.

About thirty percent of the world’s exports of tea makes its way to London. And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world. Now, in the second picture, you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Center before it is sold.
