Role-play

Neil: Hi, are you free for a quick chat?

Feifei: Sure, What can I do for you?

Neil: OK. Well, it’s a bit difficult, but I think I should have a pay rise.

Feifei: OK and why do you feel like that?

Neil: Well, I’ve taken on a lot more responsibility recently and I really believe that I’ve grown in the job. My last project was very successful and I just think I should be rewarded.

Feifei: OK, well, what kind of rise are you thinking of?

Neil: Well, I think that 5% isn’t too much to ask.

Feifei: 5%... Hmm… Well I’ll think about it and get back to you.

Neil: OK, thank you.

Neil: Only 5%, that’s not much to ask, is it? Maybe I should have gone for 10%?

Feifei: Neil, we’ve finished the role-play.

Neil: 15%? Final offer.

Feifei: It’s done. No, I can’t give you a pay rise Neil, I am not your boss really. I’ll buy you a drink after work instead. Is that OK?

Neil: Champagne?

Feifei: No, a drink - a pint of beer. Right, that brings us to the end of today’s program. Neil?

Neil: Yes that’s all. Good luck to you at home if you’re asking for a pay rise anytime soon and join us again for more 6 Minute English.

Neil / FF: Bye!
