²     "Did you get your paycheck?" Lisa asked.

³     "Yep, it was in my mail slot in the break room," John said.

⁶     "We all make mistakes," Lisa told him. "I always check mine to see if it matches my records. You should check yours every time you get paid, too."

⁷     "How do you do that?" John asked.

⁸     Lisa began telling John how to check his paycheck. She told him that there are some things that affect the amount of your pay.
