Speaking exercise

Original:

This lunch I had lunch with my coworker. She came back in Shanghai, before she travelled to Taiwan. We talked about next months we will leave curry company, and she told me her plan. She found a new company. Next month she will go to the new company. I told her I will find a new job, but I will follow my coworker to set up a new company, but next month I can’t arrive at home. I also study about work things.

Edited:

Today I had lunch with my coworker. She just got back from a trip to Taiwan. We talked about next month, when we will both leave  our current company, and she told me about her plan. She found a new company, which she will join next month. I told her that I will follow my coworker who is setting up a new company, but that won’t happen next month and I don’t want to just stay home, so I think I will also find some freelance work and take some courses, just to fill my time for now.

Grammar

In last Saturday. – Last Saturday… / On Saturday…

On Saturday I arrive home all day. – On Saturday I stayed home all day.
