Speaking exercise

I was going to find an apartment. I should earn more money instead finding a cheaper apartment. So I decided I’m not moving. We’ve been work overtime everyday recently. My boss doesn’t even feel enough, they want us work overtime more and more. I think that’s crazy. I have been in this company for the third month, and my leader is also the third one. Our new leader, when she first came in our group, we all thought that she was over 30, but she’s only born in 91. That shocked us. I think that she always work until late night. She also sleeps four hours everyday. So I don’t want to be that person. Recently, we make a lot of short videos on TB, and I become the one to write the video script, I think it’s funner than writing articles. I also act in the video, it’s so funnier than write articles. It’s so annoying that we have to work overtime. When I finish work around 8 or 9, I go home alone in the evening and I don’t feel safe.

I was going to find an apartment, but I realize that I should earn more money instead of finding a cheaper apartment. So I decided not to move. We’ve been working overtime everyday recently. My boss is still dissatisfiedhe wants us to do more OT. I think that’s crazy. I have been in this company for three months, and I just got to know my third leaderWhen our new leader first came in our group, we all thought that she’s in her 30s, but she’s only born in 91/ but she’s only 29. That shocked us. I think that she always work until late night. She only sleeps for four hours everyday. So I don’t want to be like her. Recently, we made a lot of short videos on TB, and I am the script writer. I think it’s more fun than writing articles. I also acted in the video, it’s much more interesting than writing articles. It’s so annoying that we have to work overtime. When I finish work around 8 or 9, I go home alone in the evening and I don’t feel safe.

I suppose that a lot of people have had an idea to lose their weight, especially girls. But some people would use the extreme ways which are actually bad for their body health. For example, many people like to lose weight by over dieting, this is extremely unscientific. So they can perhaps lose weight in this way, but it can also make them being an anorexic.

We should use a healthy way to stay in shape, such a doing sports. I know lots of people don’t like that because that’s boring and tiring. However, that’s not a problem, it can be solved easily. The key point that why people don’t like doing sports to lose weight is they don’t know the right way and they don’t have company, so why not finding a fitness coach and a friend to do it together.

Except sports, we should also pay attention to diet, in a healthy and scientific way. This is the healthiest way to lose weight.
