Vocabulary 48 - C1

Herbert sighed, adjusting his tie. "This testimony I have to give at the town hall... it's just about the lamest thing I've ever had to do," he muttered. Margot looked up from her crossword puzzle. "Well, someone has to explain why Oakhaven Industries needs a new flagpole, Herbert. And you're the safety inspector. You have to authorize it."

Herbert shuffled his feet. "I just wish someone could give me some guidance on what to say. I always shed sweat during public speaking. It's not a pretty sight. It's a combat zone up there!"

Margot chuckled. "Just tell the truth, Herbert. It's a flagpole. Explain why the old one is rusty. Keep it simple."

Later, at the town hall, Herbert stood nervously before the council. He cleared his throat. "Well, folks, that old flagpole... it's seen better days. Needs replacing. That's about it."

A council member raised an eyebrow. "And why do you, as safety inspector, have to authorize this?"

Herbert gulped. "Because... uh... if it falls, it could hit someone? And... uh... that would be bad?"

From the back of the room, Brian stifled a laugh. Margot nudged him sharply. He whispered, "He's going to shed more than sweat at this rate!"

Back at home, Margot patted Herbert's arm. "See? You survived the combat. Your testimony wasn't perfect, but you got through it. Now, about that new shed I want for the garden... I need some guidance on where to place it."

Herbert groaned. "Oh, no. Not again."
