The biggest problem with the computer is that Sharon’s main aim for next year is to

A: Come in Sharon end take a seat.
B: Thanks.
A: so, where do we start? Should we begin with a look at last year and then go on from there?
B: Fine.
A: So, how do you feel you’ve done in your first full year with the company?
B: Overall, I think I’ve done quite well. I feel quite confident now about what I do.

A: Don’t worry, you’ll learn all that in time. What I’d like to ask you about now is...
