Speaking exercise

I work 2 weeks from morning to night. I need to finish the finish the project before yesterday. Yesterday is the deadline. Yesterday I went home 1 o’clock because I have to finish the project. I haven’t watched 调音师, but I watched 绿皮书, which is about racism. I think 绿皮书is a good film, it can reflect something. It is easy to understand. It’s not like Inception.

When I looked for my current job, the interviewer asked me “do  you married?” At that time, I didn’t realize this is a problem. If you married, you will have a baby, that will affect the job. I think it’s not a problem for the interview.
