Do you remember that some episodes ago I was talking about punctuality?

Well, today I'll teach you different ways to say hurry up, and after that, you'll practice

speaking with a funny mini story.

Have you ever been in a hurry while you were in a foreign country?

It's really frustrating when someone or something is in front of you, slowing you down. So today, I'm going to

teach you different ways to tell people to hurry up. If you want to be polite, you can use one of the

following phrases to ask someone to hurry up. Excuse me, but I'm running very late,

and I would appreciate it if you could go quicker.

Please, if possible, could you move a little faster?

If you're at work, your manager could use these expressions.

You're behind schedule and need to get moving.

Please, can you speed up? You're holding everyone up.

We need you to get a move on with the work.

Let's see some more ways to tell people to hurry up.

There's no time to lose.
