Dialogue one: Gary meets his former colleague Peggy on the elevator, after greeting each other they talk about Peggy's new position.
Gary: Hello!
Peggy: Hi! How are you doing recently?
Gary: Reasonably well. How about you? I haven't heard from you since you left for the Marketing Department.
Peggy: Not bad. But you know, it will take me some time fit myself into the new position.
Gary: Sure, I see. I had the same feeling when I first came to work here. But now, I feel much better. I'm sure you'll get used to the job soon.
Peggy: Thanks. I always want to challenge myself in my career, though it means more effort.
(The elevator reached 11th floor, where Gary works)
Gary: Oh, I am afraid I have to get off here. Maybe we can have a cup of coffee at lunchtime.
Peggy: Why not? See you later.
Gary: See you.
Gary在电梯里碰到了以前同一部门的同事Peggy，打过招呼后他们谈起Peggy调动部门的一些情况。
Gary：你好！
Peggy：你好！最近怎么样？
Gary：过得去吧。你呢？自从你调动到市场部以后我就没了你的消息。
Peggy：还不错。但是我还需要一些时间来使自己适应新的职位。
Gary：那是自然。当我刚来这个部门工作的时候，我也有和你一样的感觉。但是现在，我感觉好多了。我肯定你也会很快适应新的职位的。
Peggy：谢谢。我总是希望在事业上尝试更多的挑战，虽然这意味着更多的努力。
（电梯到达了Gary工作的楼层）
Gary：哦，不好意思我得下去了。也许中午我们可以一起喝杯咖啡。
Peggy：为什么不呢？待会儿见。
Gary：待会儿见。

给好久没有联系的朋友写信就可以用这句话。
例：I haven't heard from you since you married.
自从你结婚以后，我就没有你的消息了。
2. fit into
适应，协调
When you arrive at a new company, you should fit yourself into the new working environment.
当来到一个新公司的时候，你应该使自己适应新的工作环境。
3. get used to
适应，习惯于
After three weeks, she had got used to her new job.
三个星期以后她就适应了新工作。
