Speaking exercise

Describe a skill you want to learn. Why?
Why do you think it is important? How are you going to learn it?

I want to learn excel skills recently. When I was a student in university, we learned a lot of skills include photoshop, powerpoint, but less focus on learning excel. So I tried to find a company to become a sales assistant. I was not good at deal with the data at first. I had a lot of mistakes everyday. Maybe I was a trainee, so my boss and other managers didn’t point my mistakes directly. There are two colleagues who could deal with the data perfectly. They were willing to teach me and correct me. About 3 months, I can did the data by myself. I could do better than others. I think if I learned more skills of excel, I could found another job and get high salary. I don’t think that I didn’t pregnant is a important reason I couldn’t find a job. It must be something in skills is not good enough so that I can’t get a good job.

I want to learn excel skills recently. When I was a student in university, we learned a lot of skills including photoshop, powerpoint, but not much on excel. So I tried to look for a position as a sales assistant. I was not good at dealing with the data at first. I had a lot of mistakes everyday. Maybe I was a trainee, so my boss and other managers tolerated my mistakes. There were two colleagues who could deal with the data perfectly. They were willing to teach me and correct me. About 3 months later, I could manage the data by myself. I could do it better than the others. I think if I learned more excel skills/ techniques, I could find another job and get high salary. I don’t think that pregnancy is the cause of my unemployment. If I couldn’t find a job, then I probably lack some skills.
