Hi,

Please, is it correct to say : "Let's make a semi-circle here' . Fine.

And what do we say when someone loses e.g. a bet or a game and has to do something funny as consequence. For example: To sing a song or to mimic/imitate an animal, say a funny joke, etc... ? There's the expression 'pay a forfeit', although this perhaps seems a little old-fashioned today.

Last question: Is it correct to say : " I work at the human resource area/department (or just: at the human resource) of a hotel"

Here are a few possibilities.

" I work in the human resource area/department of a hotel".

" I work in human resources for a hotel".

" I work for a hotel in human resources."

" I'm in hotel human resources".

Best wishes, Clive
