Lesson 17: THIS TIME I'M GOING TO STICK TO MY GUNS
  Conversation Practice
Sam: It's that time of the year again. Performance evaluation time.
Jane: I know, and this time I'm going to ask for a raise when my meeting comes around, i'm gonna get whats coming to me.
Sam: You sound pretty sure of yourself Jane, but management is always a tough cookie when it comes to uping people's pay, you know.
Jane: You don't have to remind me. They turned me down last time I asked for a raise, but this time I'm going to stick to my guns.
Sam: What makes you so certain you'll get a boost in salary?
Jane: I just know in my heart that the work I've been doing this year is a cut above, plus I have taken on a load of extra responsibilities in the past six months. They have to give me what I'm due.
Sam: Well I hope it all work out. The best of luck to you.
Jane: Thanks Sam.
