Speaking exercise

I can barely walk so my dad accompany me to the hospital.

I just saw my moments of my formal colleagues in WeChat. His wife was working on a PHD in London. He made a tough decision – he resigned and took his daughter there to support him. To my surprise he posted a picture and his daughter finish a meeting agenda. My former boss ask me to make a meeting agenda every week. But, she was an English teacher in college before so she was good. It’s difficult to summarise the topics.

My former boss is poor at making excel so he asked me to make many excels.

No, just stay at home with my daughter every day. She wanted to play with me. I can do nothing but work on the computer.

I think she is outgoing and she can adapt to the environment very soon. But, she forget it very soon so she never angry with me for a long time.

Revised: 

I could barely walk so my dad accompanied me to the hospital.

I just saw former colleagues’ WeChat moments. His wife was studying for a PHD in London. He made a tough decision – he resigned and took his daughter with him to support her. To my surprise, he posted a picture of his daughter’s finished meeting agenda. My former boss asked me to make a meeting agenda every week. But, she was an English teacher in college before so she was good at it. It’s difficult for me to summarise the topics.

My former boss is poor at making excel so he asked me to make many excel spreadsheets.

No, just stayed at home with my daughter every day. She wanted to play with me. I could not do anything but work on the computer.

I think she is outgoing and she can adapt to the environment/to changes quickly. But, she forgets it very soon so she is never angry with me for a long time.
