The numbers from the PL shows that the cost for this year has increased a lot. Can you explain why, is it because you =purchased a lot of materials
That is very reasonable. I also realize that the payroll for your company has decreased a little bit compared to last year but the number of employees does not change. Why is that?

—–roleplay 2 – talk about your recent vacation

it was wonderful the scenery there is very beautiful and the people are very nice.
Actually it is their team building and I go as his family member. and we departed on the middle of July and we just came back. We had a lot of fun there, we dived in the sea and the sea is very blue and the beach is very soft and white.
The food there are not that good. maybe it is not very suitable for me.
I will recommend you to dive. I don’t have the license either and it’s not that professional diving, we just dive a little under  of the sea.
