Today I get up at 7AM and then I had my breakfast. I go to work at 8 and arrive at office at 9 o’clock. And when I check my email I get a very exciting news. Our vendors support our annual party, they gave our 16 iPhones as the gift in our annual party, so we’re all very exciting and we wish we can get one. And then I heard a bad news about the sales commission proposals: the proposals I have done was not match the boss’ expectations and I need to do a new one in the next two days. And I have a meeting with our trainer, it’s about our carbin daily work. Then I go here to have my English class.

Today I got up at 7AM and had my breakfast. I left for work at 8 and arrived at the office at 9 o’clock. When I checked my email, I got some very exciting news: our vendors will support our annual party, and gave us 16 iPhones to be given as prizes at the event, so we’re all very excited and hopeful that we can get one. After that I heard some bad news about our sales commission proposals: the proposals I’ve made did not match my boss’ expectations, so I need to make a new one in the next two days. Later in the afternoon I had a meeting with our trainer, about our beautician’s  daily work. Then I came here to have my English class.

Grammar

GO vs. COME

We use come to describe movement between the speaker and listener, and movement from another place to the place where the speaker or listener is. We usually use go to talk about movement from where the speaker or listener is to another place.

When we talk about another person (someone who is neither the speaker nor the listener), we can use either come or go, depending on whether the speaker sees things from the receiver’s viewpoint (come) or the doer’s viewpoint (go).
