14. At least 60 people turned up for the presentation, which was far more than the organisers expected, and because there were only 20 chairs, most of us had to stand.

15. Managers are as capable of making mistakes as anyone else.

16. Pauline Halmsworth, a production manager who works in our Chicago department, has currently received an 'Employee of the Year' award.

17. He approached the training course with enthusiasm and showed excellent progress as a result.

18. She worked for the company from the age of 26 until she retired, and during that time she only took one or two days of sick leave.

19. Her sudden change of heart took everyone by surprise since previously she had been very interested in the project.
