Hey Mia, wanna go for a drink tonight?
I'm not sure if I can finish work on time, it's kinda busy now at the restaurant.
You are usually asked to stay longer if it gets busy?
Yeah! I'll msg you at 10 when I'm supposed to finish then
OK! I also have some assignments to do so I can wait.
Btw, where will we meet if I finish on time?
Let's see each other at the Sunny Bar!
Cool. See ya!
I prefer sending voice messages or speaking with friends directly rather than texting. Text messages feel boring and take too much time.
Both of them work for me
I sends a lot of messeges to my friends when we going to go out.
I prefer speaking in person or the phone, but nowadays it is impossible to avoid sending a message, and in some cases, it is the most appropriate thing to do.
I prefer to send messages with my friends when we're planing a outside.
