Speaking exercise

Do you think colleagues can also be your friends?

I think colleagues can also be my friend because when I work, I met a lot strange, they’re all my colleagues. After this, I can immediately figure out which type of people can be friends with me, and which type of people I don’t like. It make friends easier than outside, but it’s a little big hard, because we work together, sometimes we compare each other. So it kind hurt us the feeling. We need to be friendly to people, so almost we friendly to all the colleagues, even those people you don’t like, so it’s little bit hard to know he or she really like you or not.

Reading

This is a tough question. Although it is hard to take colleagues as your bosom friends, I will think I have some very nice colleagues who are sincere and helpful. However I believe here are still some distinctions between friends and colleagues. First colleagues are those whom you work with and compete with. Sometimes it is a little bit hard to weigh the relationship between colleagues. On the other hand, friends those who you would trust, rely upon, and crack jokes. There is no material gain among friends.

Writing exercise

If I have to work today, I will eat some food before go to the company but never drink milk or coffee. Because I’m a little bit intolerant of lactose and coffee even make my hands shake. I remember that one time I need to flu to Chengdu. We experienced really serious turbulence and I’m actually spit out. If that day I didn’t drink milk I will feel ok about it
