would be waiting outside in the car, thinking up new and imaginative
punishments to dish out to her.

Paula held up the trainers and looked at them lovingly. They looked even
better now than did in the shop.

Paula had saved hard for 3 months before having enough money to
splash out on new trainers.
 For 3 long months Paula had cut back on nearly everything: trips to the
cinema, shopping, and going into town, but it had been worth it.

Paula had been working hard to build up her fitness since the national
championships.

She looked back on her disappointment and knew that she wouldn't let
herself feel like that again.

It was time to knock out the competition and bring in a gold medal.

Last year our profits fell by 15% .

Peter is to draw up a list of possible redundancies .

We shall keep our costs to a minimum .

OK, let's try and keep calm .

I firmly believe that we should keep our costs down to a minimum .

Escribe la respuesta correcta.

He has called a meeting with the Human Resources Manager, Peter Hey, and a union
representative , Jane Stokes.

I don't agree with the fact that only manual workers have to bear the
consequences of a fall in profit.

I fully understand you , Jane, and you're entirely correct.

Last year our profits fell by 15% and the prospects for this year are no
better.

I am of the opinion that it would be easiest to make 3 manual workers

redundant.

That 's true , but you have to look at it from a human point of view. In the
end, it's not the fault of the manual workers that the company is in trouble !

The redundancies will have to be distributed equally between manual

workers and executive personnel.

That's all very well in theory , but we are a company and not a charity.

The issue is sufficiently sensitive as it is.

I am of the opinion that it would be easiest to make 3 manual
workers redundant .

Given that we are a small company I think that 3 people should suffice.

Before we run through the list I would like to know how many people will
have to go to make the company profitable again.

I don't agree with the fact that only manual workers have
to bear the consequences of a fall in profit.

I firmly believe that we should keep our costs to a minimum .

We expect a second decrease of 15%.

I've asked Peter to draw up a list of people who we might make

redundant.

Before we run through the list I would like to know how many people will
have to go to make the company profitable again.

That's all well and good , but redundancy pay-outs to executives would
cost the firm a lot more money.

Hey, and a union representative, Jane Stokes

You undoubtedly know why I've called you all together this morning.

We expect a second decrease of 15%.

Ok, let's try and keep calm. The issue is sufficiently sensitive as it is.

Last year our profits fell by 15% and the prospects for this year are no
better.

afloat is to lay people off .
