Correction

I went back to Foshan before starting my internship on the 23rd of November. I wanted to try a turkey for Thanksgiving day, but I ate a chicken and not a real turkey! On Saturday, I returned to Shanghai to prepare internship materials because I must work on December 3rd.

I feel a fit to me, I like it. The office is very clear, and most is women, but all got married. And then, today they teach me how to put the food in the box [package it].

It’s an international trade company and they trade beef, pork, and sheep. The other countries bring into China and have 12 countries.

I feel like this internship is a good fit for me. I like it. The office is very clear. Most of the employees are women, but they are all married. And then, today they taught me how to package the food.

It’s an international trade company. They trade beef, pork and sheep. 12 countries import their food into China.
