    Mei Ling: Well everyone - I think it's time I said a few words.    (Pause) Nora - we're all going to miss you very much, you know.
    All: Yes, sure are (etc)
    Mei Ling: This is a gift from all of us.
    Mei Ling: I'd also like to thank Nora for all her efforts during our Speak Good English drive.
    Nora: Thank you. Thank you so much.
    Mei Ling: We've certainly come a long way since Jane first arrived. Do you remember the that time when the CEO thought we'd fired you, Nora……?
    Replay……
    Jane: But we haven't fired anyone.
    Nora: Jaya fired me when I forgot to save those files last month.
    Mei Ling: And the CEO thinks you've lost your job because of it. That's what fired means in good English.
    Nora: But I didn't lose my job - he only fired me.
    Jane: I think you mean that he told you off.
    Mei Ling: And then there was all the work we did on improving our pronunciation and telephone skills……
    Replay……
    Jane: (realizing) I know! They think we're selling food.
    Gary: What?
    Jane: Say the name of the company.
    Gary: Hotdogcom.
    Jane: Again.
    Gary: Hotdogcom.
    Jaya: Aaaah! I think I see. You are saying Hotdog.
    Gary: No I'm not.
    Jane: Yes, you are. Say it again.
    Gary: Hotdogcom. (Realizing) Aaaah! Funny.
    Jane: Maybe it is funny - but we are losing customers. You have to be careful. Especially on the phone.
    Jaya: Try saying: “Hello. HotDotCom. How can I help?”
    Gary: Hello. HotDotCom. How can I help?
    Jaya: You know I think Gary's made more progress than anyone. Do you remember some of those grammar mistakes:
    Replay……
    Gary: Wah! So fast! Jane she very lucky one! Same one - how to get?
    Jaya: Ask me one question in good English, Gary, and I might get you a new computer, too!
    Gary: Oh……okay.
    How…… how do I get a computer like Jane's?
    Jaya: Brilliant! You're making progress, Gary!
    Mei Ling: Sadly, this is the last Speak Good English Phone-in lesson. We hope that you've enjoyed making progress with us. Now it's goodbye from all of us at HotDotCom.
    All: Goodbye!
