1 – Striving for financial stability.

Mike: Hi Sarah, how’s the business doing (indo) lately?

Sarah: Hi Mike, we’re closely (de perto) monitoring our cash flow (fluxo de caixa). Unfortunately, we’ve been making a loss (tendo prejuízos) for the past few months.

Mike: I see. Any plans to turn things around (reverter a situação) and make a profit (obter lucro)?

Sarah: Absolutely, Mike. We’re implementing cost-cutting measures (medidas de corte de custos) and exploring new revenue streams (fontes de receita/renda) to improve our financial situation.

Mike: That sounds promising (promissor). Do you have a target to break even (alcançar o ponto de equilíbrio/ não ganhar nem perder)?

Sarah: Yes, we’re aiming to break even within the next quarter (trimestre). It’s a challenging goal, but we’re determined to achieve it (alcançá-lo).

Mike: Best of luck, Sarah. I’m sure your efforts will pay off (dar retorno/frutos) soon.

2 – Punctuality in the workplace.

“Punctuality is paramount (fundamental) in the workplace. Arriving on time demonstrates respect for your colleagues and commitment (compromisso) to your role (função). When you’re punctual, you set (estabelece) a positive example for others and contribute to a productive work environment (ambiente de trabalho). Additionally, being on time ensures (garante) that meetings start promptly (comecem pontualmente) and deadlines are met (os prazos sejam cumpridos) efficiently. Remember, tardiness (atrasos) not only disrupts your own schedule (agenda, cronograma, horário) but also impacts the workflow (fluxo de trabalho) of your team. Let’s prioritize punctuality to maximize our collective effectiveness (eficácia coletiva).”
