朋友見面，第一句都會問候對方，如果你想告訴你朋友，你最近忙到爆（即忙得不可開交），究竟英文怎麼說呢？
例
朋: It's great seeing you. How have you been?
你: I had a really hectic week... my scheduled is completely packed.
意思是你忙到一頭煙，整個日程表排得滿滿的，上面的表達方法比用"I have been very busy"來得生動，自然，口語化。Hectic是一個經常用的字，大家認識這個字對日後交際應酬無往而不利。
大家記住，對話之中你一定要懂得反問，關心對方。不要因為是用英文對話就變得沈默木訥！人家問候你 How are you doing? 你除了回答"Great, thanks." 之外，也可以加一句簡單的"And you?"。
朋: It's great seeing you. How have you been?
你: I had a really hectic week... my scheduled is completely packed. How was your week?
朋: Oh... it's been crazy. I've been running errands for my kids.
Running an errand/ running errands for somebody 的意思是為某人奔走。It's been crazy就好像廣東話講“忙到人都顛”（忙到人都發瘋了！）。知道來龍去脈，以後聽到It's been crazy，千祈別以為是你的朋友在罵你呢！
