Generally speaking， raises will be given after trial employment of three months. We provide fringe benefits such as semi-annual bonus es， four weeks of paid vacation a year， and health insurance. An average executive secretary gets about 40， 000 yuan RMB a year.
  B： When can you reach a final decision， Mr. Waley.

I'll contact you within this month， and keep you informed of our processing progress.
