Those people are from Asia such as Hongkong, Macau, and Malaysia… but I don’t think I can communicate with them. Because they think that because they are living in the UK for a long time and my English is not good compared to them they are better than me. Sometimes, I think that they are not civilized. For example, last time, I made a mistake which was I wrote a wrong number on a package of delivery food. The woman said you were wrong and I said to her thank you for letting me know my problem for this issue, but she said you caused me so much trouble and her emotions were extremely fierce and cruel.

Continuing the lifestory in the UK:
The day before yestarday, I went to the restaruant and asked the boss that what time I can get the salary, he replied that at the beginniing of April. I was not worries, but after that my colleague told me that do not believe him because his reputation is not good in food industry. OMG!!! My heart was ups and downs. The boss looks like very extermerly nice, but his stories were hobbries. I think I will cry if I can not get the salary.
Because of this job that they required we should put black shoes and then I bought the new one. I experienced stood up to work for 10 hours. It was very tired as well as servied on customers. One day, I made a mistake that I spilled the wine and the customer and our colleagues were not happy. My colleague yelled me all day. I was so sad, but I didn’t blame them because I thouth that was my fault. I chose this job because I can touch with forgeins and I learn that western people habbits in restaurant (haha). When clenits ask me something, I can not understand because of their accent. I am trying to follow BBC news to practies. I will be going to work tomorrow
