Speaking exercise

Today is she’s first day and i think she is ….

Some leaders are like friends to their workmates and some leaders are like a boss to their workmates. She’s older than my present leader and I’m worried about how to get along with her and if I can learn something from her. I don’t know how she works like. Usually, half or one month. But, one month just to know him or her and now get along with them.

My work is similar every day. My first job is telephone sales and I talked to different people every day on phone. That’s everyone is different so I think it’s changeable. We compared to each other every day and every month.

The old leader quit to another company and want me to go to another company.

It’s too long I think, I did too long. I think it’s another time to change another one because I don’t know what to write.

When you see more you can understand which one is real and which one is fake because they have the same speaking style.

The products I bought is really bad and I leave the bad review and the shop called me when I picked up so they scolded me so I fight back.

Revised: 

Today is her first day and I think she is more like a formal/strict leader. 

Some leaders treat their workmates/subordinates like friends and some leaders behave like a boss to their workmates. She’s older than my present leader and I’m worried about finding a way to get along with her and if I can learn something from her. I don’t know how she works with others/collaborates with others. Usually, in half or one month. But, only one month to just get to know him or her and how to get along with them./familiarise with their working style. 

My work is similar/repetitive every day. I worked as a telephone sales for my first job and I spent every day talking to different people on the phone. Everyone that I talked to is different so I think it’s dynamic. We competed with each other every day/daily and every month/monthly.

The old leader quit/left to go to another company and he wanted me to go with him.

I think I spend too long on this job.  I think it’s time to change/move on another job because I don’t know what to write/I’ve run out of things to write.

When you go through more reviews/comments, you can spot/tell the difference because fake reviews usually have the same language/style. 

If the products I bought is really bad, I will leave a bad review. Once, a shop called me and when I picked up,  they scolded me so I fought back.
