F2F Class Notes 4th August (Celeste)

annual ( ann – you – ull )- sth happens every year

Original

I work in a financial company as assistant. I only work for 4 month because I came Shanghai 4 month ago. I found this work on the internet. Then, I came here to get a meeting with my boss. He think maybe I am good at this job. I always count the numbers of bills and invoices each employee uses every month.Then, I make a list of all the bills and invoices for a report to give my boss once a month. I help them to print the douments through the trash and clean the office. I think I must do everything in the office except the official program. I don’t want to be an assistant for my whole life, I want to be more professional in the financial company. I like my boss, I like the feelings in this work. I think I can stay in a long time.
