Abigail:Hi, are you free for a quick chat?
Mark:Sure, come in, come in. Sit down. What can I do for you?
Abigail:Okay. Well, it’s a bit difficult, but … I really feel that it’s about time that I had a pay rise.
Mark:Okay and why do you feel like that?
Abigail:Well, I have been here now for three years and in that time I have made good progress. I really feel that I’ve grown in the job and I’ve taken on a lot more responsibility. I just think it’s time that it was recognised and that my efforts were rewarded.
Mark:Right. So you feel that you’re on a low salary for your current position and current responsibilities, do you?
Abigail: Yeah, I do believe that what I’ve contributed(贡献) to the department over recent months means that I should be paid more. . BBC Learning 4 English Page 1 of 2 bbclearningenglish.com
Mark: Abigail:  Okay, well, what kind of rise would you be looking for? Well, you know, I think that 3% on top of the usual annual rise with inflation(通货膨胀) isn’t too much to ask. 
Mark: Abigail:  Three per cent... Hmm. Right, well, as you know, I can’t just give you a pay rise immediately, just like that. I’ll have to discuss it with the other managers here. And, as you can imagine, there aren’t unlimited 5 funds 6 available for things like this. But you might be pleased to hear that we are having a pay review meeting very soon and I’ll make sure we discuss your request then. Okay, fine. Should I put this request in writing as well? So we all have a record of this discussion 7
Mark:  Yes, that’d be a good idea. Email me and also copy it to human resources.
