My reading exam

MEMO

To.- Scrutons Ld
From.- Ana Lucia Mejia Villarreal
Subject.- Resolve worker problem
Date.- April 10

Strutons ltd is a small engineering rimr wich had been some problems becuase the productivity has fallen significantly in the last two years, and the business has started to suffer. The workers are failing to meet their production targes nd the company is often late with deliveries to customers. They are unhappy becuase they are never able to eran their productivity bonus. Their manager wanted to give a bonus, but the directos refused and the decide to introduce a productivity bonus was a better option. I think we have the option below:


1.- Give a pay increase to all the workers (this would cost 500,000euros).
2.-
Reduce the level at witch workers can earn a productivity bonus (this would cost 300,000 euros).
3.-Appoint a new production manager.
4.-Cut labour cost.(maybe recuiting any new workers when people leave)

I thing to cut labour cost its the best option, but if we cut them, we can recruiting any workers and maybe the people leave but Diana told me maybe we can reduce the level of this workers and give their a productivity bonus, but the cost would be 30 000 and i think it so expensive; Diana believe to appoint a new mannager its the best own, but.... i believe to reduce the cost of the workers is better, and we can destinate it money to a bonus productivity and we was agree whit this options.
There are the convertation below:

Diana: ok. Let’s start. We have to decide about the future of the company. I think we should reduce the level at wich workers can earn a productivity bonus.
Lucia: what would be the cost?
Diana: the cost would be to €300,000.
Lucia what do you think?
Lucia: I think we should listen to other opinions. For example I think we should cut labour costs
Diana: That way? can you please keep it short?
Lucia: For example, we cant recruiting any new workers when people leave
Diana: Well. I believe it is necessary to appoint a new production manager.
Lucia: Why do you think that?
Diana: because Roland doesn’t have the enough support between the workers
Lucia: This well. We must decide now what the best choice is.
Diana: I agree with you to reduce the level to which workers can earn a bonus of productivity, but also need to appoint a new production manager to ensure that workers are willing to be more productive
Lucia: And also we must reduce the recruiting of workers to cover bonus
Diana: O.K. So we go to reduce the level at which workers can earn a productivity bonus, with the appointment of a new production manager and with cutting the labour costs. Are you agree?Lucia: Of course
Diana: O.K. let’s work

There are my reflections about the weeks before our interesting vacations:

Week 1


Well, my first week after vacations!
It´s true the last vacatios was so small and I though come back to the school was necessary, but only a week change my perspective. It ´s so hard to have to make homework, to do specials works, however it´s interesting see another time our partners and teachers besides learn about all the topics the teacher expose for us it´s amazing. I made a conversation whit my partner Diego about a problem with wome tomatoes and we practiced to made appologizes.

Week 2

Oh my God! Other week in the school

In this week we passed to the next Unit "Fighting back" and we practiced the future tense like will and going to. We saw the really diference between an adverb and and a verb, we learned many vocabulary refered whit productivity, and we made our listening exam.

Week 3

The exams become!!!!

We coming talking about big artist like Leonardo Da Vinci, we made some exams and we teach words like range and forecaste, i learned where i have to put the work often, always or maybe efficently. We saw the words we have to put to make a adjetive in a noun, for example: when we want to transformate "profit" in a noun we need to put "able" and we say "profitable", but the problem here was there not any rule to know when we have to addering al, able , ive or ul.
