Catching your professor in the hallway
Catch your professor in the corridor after class and ask, in a couple of minutes, what you should be doing next about your career.
What makes this one hard
Two minutes in a corridor is a real format, not a lesser one: you have to open, ask and close before the other person reaches the stairs. What makes it hard in English is not the vocabulary but the shape — getting to your actual question in one sentence instead of three of throat-clearing, and then leaving with a next step rather than a thank-you that trails off.
