Recall

Say it out loud

Call your manager in the morning instead: say your son still has a fever, ask if you can take the day off using child-care leave, and say you'll move today's 1:1 to next week.（〜させていただけますか・〜ておく）
Hand off to 佐藤(さとう)さん before you leave: ask her to cover the afternoon meeting, say the slides are already in the shared folder, and that the rest isn't urgent so you'll do it tomorrow.（〜ておく・ので・明日に回す）
Tell your wife the shodo news: a UNESCO body recommended it, the formal decision is in China in early December, and it would be Japan's 24th.（勧告する・〜そうです・〜見通しだ）

YOUR TURN

田中たなか（の）：「チン、？」 Answer in 3–4 sentences: thank him for yesterday; the fever went down last night (がました); you'll finish yesterday's work you pushed to today first (にた → た); and ask if you can leave 30 minutes early at 5:30 today because of your dentist appointment (〜させていただけますか).
