Speaking exercise

I need to talk to a lot of Indian colleagues, it’s difficult for me the understand what they said through the phone. Even when we have face to face talk, it’s still difficult for me to understand some words, because their pronunciation is really weird. Mostly 80% I can understand them.

So far we don’t do any plans for the Chinese new year, maybe we will go to our relative’s home to collect red envelopes. My sister, my brother, they don’t have children now, only I have child. I can get the read pack from my sister, my brother, my uncle and aunties. My grandfather has 5 children, so they take care of him each by each.

It’s really difficult for us to decide what to eat every lunch, so we have a lunch chairman, she can decide what we eat at that week, because the chairman is weekly. The lose is that if the chairman makes a decision, others have no rights to refuse the decision. When I joined the company, this game has already existed.
