Reading

For the moment, I think that this job could still provide endless opportunities for me. Personally I don’t like job- hopping too often, which  makes you appear to be uncommitted and unstable. I have been learning so much ever since I entered my company. I would like to grow up with his company.

Speaking exercise

I did yoga today. I think now I’m a little bit sweaty. I suffered from shoulder pain so I start yoga. I have been practice yoga for one year. Shoulder pain has been relieved. I go with my friends and I take yoga class twice time a week. The teacher is really nice and strict. It’s very relaxed. Sometimes maybe very painful. After class, your body has changed. I was stressful, after the class, I feel better. My body is more flexible.

If I have to go to the yoga class, I have to wake up earlier than before. It helps me to make better use of time.

Are you planning to change your job at the moment? Why?

I’m planning to change my job now. I have been doing this work for four years. It is easy for me to handle the work speedily. I want to something more challengeful. I think there’s no chance to get promote, maybe it’s time to find another job. The company is far away from my home, it takes very long time to go to the office. So I want to change my job.

I’m preparing my job hunting. I’m starting to upload my resume on the internet. Actually I have got an offer last week. Maybe I will quit my current job. The offer is much better and the pay is much more than I have now.
