Speaking exercise

Im just graduate from my college, Im a post graduate and now I’m working in Coca Cola as a management trainee.

The reason why I wanna learn English is because it’s quite a challenge for me to communicate better with foreign boss or team members. Most of the situation the problem come first is the culture thing. you don’t know what conversation should be like, it’s not like using Chinese when you know what you can talk with him. The second thing is I think I have some grammar and pronunciation problems which most of the time confuse others when I’m talking.
I think language is like skill or technique that you need to have or equip with you.
Third thing is because I’m working in an America company so the superiors are always foreigners so only if you can speak very good English its better for the career.
Yesterday I lay on the bed and watch the big bang theory for like 5 hours. actually I’m catching myself up for the last few seasons because I always work on Saturday actually so its very rare for me on Saturday that I have time. so I just grab it and lay on the bed.
