Hang in there. – Conversation Practice

Megan: I’m starting to get burned out. We have been working overtime every day for the past three weeks. I do not know how much longer I can stand it.

Suzy: Hang in there. We are almost done. We are going to finish this project by the end of next week.

Megan: I hope you are right because I do not think I can hang in there much longer.

Suzy: I think everyone is feeling like that now. But we have worked so hard up until now, it would be a waste if we did not work hard until the end.

Megan: That makes sense. I will keep working hard. You do not need to worry about me. I just like to complain to release stress.

Suzy: I know. I never worry about your effort.

Megan: Well, are you ready to get back to work?

Suzy: Let’s do it.
