Speaking exercise

Because I am thinking about change a new job and for now I am staying in my old company, but my heart is not in that company. So sometimes my boss wants me to do something and I don’t want to do that because I am thinking that I am going to leaving, I don’t want to do that. I feel a little bit guilty about this thing because my boss doesn’t know I want to leave. He still gives me lots of opportunity. Sometimes I will give them to somebody else and I will teach the new guy because I want him to do the best after I am leaving. I talked to my former boss. I want to leave my hometown. I don’t want to stay in here. My former boss is in Tianjin now and I asked him that did he need a new secretary and he said he will think about it. The most thing I want to go back is Shanghai, because life is more colorful there.
