Lesson 1
Bob's day at work
Bob works as a manager in a furniture store
Peter his boss is not happy about sales
Bob's new advertising campaign hasn't helped
Peter decides to fire him
Bob
I hate to break the news but our sales were down again last month
Down again Peter
Yeah these days everybody shopping at our competition honest Abe's furniture store
But everything in their cost an arm and a leg
That's true they do charge top dollar
And their sales people are very strange
They really give me the creeps
Well they must be doing something right over there meanwhile we're about to go belly-up
I'm sorry to hear that I thought my new advertising campaign would save the day
Let's face it, your advertising campaign was a real flop
Well
Then I'll go back to the drawing board
It's too late for that you're fired
what?You're giving me the ax?
Yes I've already found a new manager
She was sharp as a tack
can we even talk to this over?
After all ,I've been working here for 10 years
There's no point in arguing ,Bob.
I've already made up my mind.
Oh well! at least I won't have to put up with your nonsense anymore!
Goodbye to you and goodbye to this dead-end job.
Please leave before I lose my temper!
