    I didn’t hear what you said. What’s that noise in the background?

    Mattia: Sorry, I opened the window because it’s very hot here in Florence.

    2

    Goodmorning everyone and sorry that I’m late. There was another meeting before I had to attend until the end.

    3

    I just saw that I muted some of you accidentally. Excuse me, however, now everyone can hear you.

    4

    Sally, I can see only your browser window. Are you already sharing you screen? If you can’t, you can send me the file.

    5

    Is everything ok, Jess? Why is your video frozen? Can you still hear me?

    6

    I’m going to have to ask you to speak one at a time. We can’t hear you very well.

    7

    Hi everyone, I’m surprised you can hear anything. I just heard a troublesome sound on the background

    8

    Is there any chance if I suggest another time? Are you available at 10.30?

    @Cristiana.Starnotti this is good work.

    Here you’ll find some suggestions to make things sound more natural:

    2. Take away ‘that’ – it’s more fluent: Good morning everyone and sorry I’m late.

    3. Replace Excuse me with – sorry about that

    I just saw that I muted some of you accidentally. Sorry about that, now everyone can hear you.

    4. Word order: Sally, I can only see your browser window.
