Original:

After Chinese New Year I did a lot of work, that means my manager give me a lot of responsibilities and he trusts me a lot. I was beginning to be responsible for different divisions, totally it’s four divisions. It made me very happy, but at the same time I also got a lot of pressures. I think I got a lot of work experience and from this work, I think I got improvement since Chinese New Year. The conversation with my manager made me encouraged me a lot, his words gives me a lot of encouragements , it represented he was looking forward to my good performance. This made me feel warm and confident. I always remember he told me attitude is everything, so I think if we have good attitude we can do everything well.

I had a conversation with my manager which encouraged me a lot. His words meant that he was looking forward to my good performance, which made me feel very confident. I always remember that he once told me that attitude is everything, so I think that if we have a good attitude, we can do anything.
