Anna works in a big company. Mr. Thompson and Mr. White are the leaders of their department. Everyone enjoys working with Mr. Thompson but no one likes Mr. White.
Mr. Thompson is always kind and helpful. When he wants something done, he will ask, 'Would you mind getting the information for me, please?" But Mr. White isn't like Mr. Thompson at all. He usually shouts across the room,'Get me the notebook and hurry up."
But this morning Mr. White made everyone surprised. At first,Anna thought he must be sick. He was very polite. 'Miss Erickson," he said, 'If it isn't too much trouble for you, could you please make these telephone calls for me?" June Erickson couldn't believe her ears. Right after that,Mr. White said, 'Miss Read, would you be as kind as to open the window? It's quite warm here." Then he talked to Anna, 'I would appreciate it very much if you would mail these letters for me."
Everyone didn't know why he behaved like this. Had Mr. White changed his personality? Or should he see a doctor?
Soon Anna knew the truth. 'Ladies," Mr White said, 'I have good news for you. The president of the company will be here next Monday. He will have some questions to ask you, such as 'Do you like working here?' or 'Do you like working with Mr. White?'"
