He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries.
20 people had already left.
I knew that my turn had come.

Lesson 16 A polite request
First listen and then answer the question.
What was the polite request?
If you park your car in the wrong place.
A traffic policeman will soon find it.
You will be very lucky if he let[lets] you go without a ticket.
However, this does not always happen.
Traffic police are sometimes very polite.
During a holiday in Swiden[Sweden].
I found this note on my car.
Sir, we welcome you to our city.
This is a no-parking area.
You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to ask three sounds[our street signs].
This note is only a reminder.
If you receive a request like this, you can not fail to obey it.

Lesson 17 Always young
First listen and then answer the question.
Why doesn't aunt Jeniffer[Jenniffer] tell anyone how old she is?
My aunt Jeniffer[Jenniffer] is an actress.
She must be at least 35 years old.
In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl.
Jeniffer[Jenniffer] will have to take part in a new play soon.
This time she will be a girl [of] 17.
In the play she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.
Last year in another play she had to wear short sock[socks] and bright orange colored dress.
If anyone ever asks[asked] her how old she is.
She always answers darling, it must be terrible to be grown up.
