LESSON 35
raise, rise

Hugh: Yes, I decided to ask my employer for a pay rise. You see, the cost of living is rising all the time. Prices rose 10% last month. Fuel bills have risen three times this year. I’ve got children to raise. I’ve got the whole family to raise. To be honest, my expectations are rising too. I don’t want to get up at sunrise every day. I don’t want to raise my head from the pillow at dawn every morning. I want a nice pay rise and a good job, where I can rise through the ranks quickly and become well, you know, managing director, preferably.

So, I decided to raise the subject with my boss. I knocked on his door. He rose to his feet when I entered and he smiled at me. ‘Good’ – I thought. My spirits rose. To be quite honest, so did the hair on my head. Yes, it rose, too. You see, after all, I was going to raise a delicate matter. I sat down and I raised the subject.

(I got a two pound rise.)
