Writing exercise

Original –

Actually I’m not very happy last week in my work because my boss assigned me a new project without any information. I was told in the last minute that I have to prepared everything within one month. That is a very urgent time. That means this whole month I need to overwork everyday. I’m already very very busy. The project was assigned to another my colleague in the first time, but in the last time the colleague give up it, and the project was sent to me. I’m upset about my boss. My boss send me this project to me.

Correction – 

Actually I wasn’t very happy last week at work, because my boss assigned a new project to me without any notice. I was told at the last minute that I have to prepare everything within a month. The project is very urgent so this whole month I’ll need to work overtime everyday. I’m already busy and the project was assigned to another colleague at first, but at last he gave it up, and the project was sent to me. I’m a little upset with my boss.
