Speaking exercise

I met some relatives to talk about something, what we need to do in the future, also about jobs. I decided to study English that is for some connected foreign clients. I asked my friends to show me what exhibition will open in oversea next year. I will chose someone to visit and try to communicate some potential customer. We also want to apply a stand to show our product.  For this reason, I gotta go there to get some experience.

I also like you, I couldn’t do something best to get the balance between career and family. I know if I can do something better on my career, I can give them a better life and condition in the future. I didn’t spend more time on the communication with my daughter. Last night, I talked to my daughter, “I trying to prepare birthday gift for you, which toy do you like?” When I came home, they have been to sleep. I will change the working time so that I could have more time to be with them. The family environment is very important for the children growing up, when they fall down in the future, they will know they have a family to support them. On 2017, I went to SZ city to purchase something for my own business, I contacted with some private factories. One of the bosses told to me, his son was destroyed by gambling because during his growing time, the boss always focus on the job/business, didn’t to take care of his growing up, just give him money to buy something what he wanted to. At that time, his son had lose more than 20 million.

Some friend who have the same level with me, they just have a target per year, when they finish, they start to play or go out, like ride a motorcycle to go around China. I look like tired or give other people a tired feeling, because I spend most of time on my job.
