Hey, Do you mind if I borrow your phone for a second?

> Yeah. No problem. Here you go.

Yeah. Great. Thanks a lot. It's just that mine, right now, it's not working correctly.

I can receive calls, but I can't make them. I don't know what's going on. It's just hanging on by a thread.

> I think it's time for you to start looking at a new phone.

Yeah. I think so. But thanks for letting me borrow yours.

 

@ on its last legs : 고장나기 일보직전이다

 

I almost killed my self trying to come up your stairs. Your handrail is just awful. @ handrail ˈhændreɪl (계단 등의) 난간

You really should replace it.

> I know. I'm sorry. I've been meaning to replace it for weeks. @ have been meaning to ~할 작정이었다

Yeah. It's like really on its last legs. It's getting to the point where it's super dangerous to just come to your house.

@ It's getting to the point ~  할지경에 이르다

> Oh, I'm sorry about that. I'll fix it this weekend, I promise

OK. Thanks!
