会話

ジェフはポールの年間の仕事の評価を行っています。上記の設問で習った表現に注意しながら、以下の会話を聞いてみましょう

Jeff: Well, it’s time for your annual appraisal session. As you know, your next pay rise is entirely dependant on my recommendations. So, before I share them with you, I’d like to know how you think you’ve improved over the last year.
Paul: To avoid the pressure that I used to put myself under before deadlines, I’ve been staying back late each evening. Consequently, I’ve also had more time to attend to my regular tasks.
Jeff: Yes, I have noticed that you’ve been more diligent of late - and you’ve been arriving early, when the need be. Management views this as a sign of true commitment.
Paul: Furthermore, I’ve been coordinating with the Finance department far more smoothly. This has helped to cut down on all the little mistakes that beset us last year.
Jeff: That was a communications problem. Has it been solved?
Paul: Well, I’ve been busy this last month writing a programme which will enable messages sent between our department and Finance to flash up immediately on the screen – appearing on top of everything else.
Jeff: Sounds good to me. Well, other management and I have been keeping a close eye on you, and we’ve concluded that you are finally getting to grips with the job, and are showing real signs that you could go far with us here.
Paul: Yes, I’ve been finding the work here increasingly rewarding, and the extra responsibilities you’ve been entrusting me with have encouraged me to work smarter, as well as harder.
Jeff: Keep up the good work, and you’ll be looked on favourably if a more senior position becomes vacant. Management concurs that you are deserving of the highest pay rise we can award under our pay scale system – 10%. And once again, thank you for all your efforts.
