Speaking exercise

I look forward to have a journey with my family, but it seems there is not enough time for me to do this activity. I have annual leave but I already spend this early of this year. I have drive to another city with my family, my parents. They took some time to climb mountain and to visit some famous places. We try to taste special food in that city. We went to Tong Lu, maybe around 5 hours to get there. He never go to junior school so he has enough time to go outside with us.

I worry about the competition with my regional boss. He is a French guy, his pronounce is not very clear to me. He has some heavy sentence. I think there’s a little bit difference between conversation for daily life and professional situation. Sometimes in some daily life, I can express my meaning more clearly. In professional situation, when a vendor present new situation to me, I cannot quickly understand.

Revised

I look forward to having a journey with my family, but it seems that there is not enough time for me to plan it out. I have annual leave but I have already spent them this early of this year. I went on a road trip to another city with my family and my parents. They took some time went hiking and to visit some famous scenery . We tried some special/local food in that city. We went to Tong Lu, it took us maybe around 5 hours to get there. He isn’t in primary school yet so he has enough time to travel with us.

I worry about the misunderstandings/ language barrier with my regional boss. He is a French guy, his pronounciation is not very clear to me. He has some heavy accent. I think there’s a little bit of difference between conversation for daily life and professional settings. Sometimes in some daily life, I can express my meaning more clearly. In professional situation, when a vendor presents new proposal to me, I cannot understand immediately.Â
