Mike has been working for a cosmetics firm for more than three years. He is confident of his work performance and thinks it is time to ask for a (raise/rise/arise). However, he is so shy that he does not know how to start. (The following is the conversation between Mike and his coworker, Tim.)
Tim: (Remember/Recall/Reminisce/Recollect/Remind)! All you need to do is make your point clear. Don’t get too nervous and digress.
Mike: What if he turns me down right away? Should I (raise/rise/arise) from my chair and leave?
Tim: Come on! You should persevere. You have to achieve it at any (state/ratio/rate).
Mike: How?
Tim: You can show him why you worth it. For example, tell him how you (saved/reserved/conserved/preserved) the company from bankruptcy last year when you managed to have some banks lending money to us.
Mike: But, it’s not pulled of all by myself.
Tim: Everyone knows that! Listen, Mike! Let me (remind/reminisce/remember/ recall/recollect) you that if you really desire a higher pay, you should go all out for it.
