1 Lesson 15 Good news 佳音 The secretary told me that Mr
Harmsworth would see me
I felt very nervous when I went into his office

After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad
He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries

'Don't interrupt,' he said
Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year
