I born in SH and I work at a luxury brand as HR assistant
My daily work is I am taking responsibility of recruitment and monthly reports.
Sometimes I will use at HR meetings and do presentations in English and I need to use english in the email communication.
Our director is based in HK and she came from Paris so that is why I come to here.
listen and reading are ok but I am nervous at speaking in English.
I would do it better when I am prepared but in a meeting you will be asked questions and I am nervous
For emails I want it to be like a business email not just express what I want to say.

I want more formal vocabulary.
I just watch some TV series and do some sports at home at yoga.
