My name is Michelle, my English name is Michelle. Which is common, it is a common name. I am a finance management manager in a pharmaceutical company which is a French company. I work close to here, I make full use of the lunchtime and I come here to learn English because in our routine work I have many opportunity to communicate with colleagues from different countries. Especially the European, and during the communication with them I find it is very important to, to get used to their accent. Especially the french accent is very difficult to follow. Also, I think it’s crucial for me to present in a professional way, especially in English. Because during my previous working experience, I don’t have very many English speaking experience with people from different countries. So maybe I am quite short at this so I decided to improve my oral English.

I have some maybe common hobbies, like reading like traveling. I also have some special hobbies like playing piano and drawing and painting, watercolor painting. Also, I have a habit of keeping handwriting diary or handwriting notebook. I cannot write poety, it is difficult, I am not very imagination. And also um during the weekend, I usually work out.

I feel very tired after day to day work, that makes me sometime back aches. I will feel better after exercise on the back.
