Minori,

Thank you so much for talking with me everyday. Unfortunately, I can not answer your phone calls recently, but I am sure I can make it next week since my boss is out due to his vacation! Talking with you always makes me cheer up.

And thank you for your advice for me yesterday. As you can tell, I have completely lost my confidence in English and am afraid of speaking English in front of people since I joined here. I do care about my pronunciations and grammers and that prevents me from speaking frankly. Then, I hesitate to speak English more... I am feeling as if I have been caught in a vicious circle.

By the way, let me propose two questions, please.
1> My boss is always tied up, so usually I go out to buy his lunch. When I ask him what he wants to eat for lunch, are there any convenient phrases?

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" is quite stereo type sentence, I think. I want to use more conversational sentence.

2> When I enter his office, what should I say?　"May I come in?" would be best?? Are there any other appropriate phrases?

My American boss has a good command of Japanese, so I am lazy to speak English and always speak to him in Japanese now... I do overcome this bad situation!!

Thank you for your advice!

Teruko
