The Performance Chat

Learn to compare performance using comparative adjectives.

It's time for your quarterly appraisal. You meet with your manager, Ayşe. She will ask about your work this quarter. You need to compare your results with last quarter. Ayşe asks, 'How was your quarter?' You think about your tasks. 'I've done well with the new remote project,' you think.

Ayşe: "Good morning, Can. Let's discuss your performance." Can: "Good morning, Ayşe. I'm ready." Ayşe: "How was your sales output this quarter?" Can: "It was better than last quarter. We had more growth." Ayşe: "That's great. And the new software rollout?" Can: "The team is more efficient now. We are also faster with client requests. I've done the training for everyone." Ayşe: "Excellent. What about the customer feedback metric?" Can: "It was a little worse than expected. We need to improve that." Ayşe: "Yes, that's a key target. How about your personal tasks?" Can: "I've done all my reports on time."
