Speaking exercise

Every day I finish my work at maybe 8 o’clock or more than 8 o’clock. It is near the end of the year so we will have our final course and you will get a grade which will change the extra money you get at the end. We need to finish our work at the end of this year. This month, always very busy. We need to work at the last day of December. We need to work at the last day of the year. The first year, I stay in our company after 12 o’clock in our bank and we get together for new years together. But, now we haven’t much work need to do at the last day, maybe we will finish our work at 8 o’clock. I think I don’t want to went someplace with four people, and I don’t think I want to go to the Bund. Something bad happened one year and people is out of control and someone fall down.
