Speaking exercise

We just moved our office last week in the same building. We just moved to a higher floor. The previous office is small, cannot to have all the colleagues, we have separate floors. Now we combine them together and have the whole floor to our company. But the smell is very strong so we can’t go back to the office. Especially for colleagues who want to have a baby, it’s very bad. I’m still waiting for the notice. Last week, I tied up all the stuff I have and moved to the higher floor to do some cleaning. The half hour I stayed in the office, I feel very bad and dizzy, my eyes feel very spicy. It’s newly decorated, all the furnitures are new, so the smell is very strong. I hope I can go back to the office, but in terms of the situation, I don’t know when we can go back to the office.

Our administration team didn’t put enough purifiers in the office. We are on the 60th floor, so the windows cannot be open. Because of the virus, the building cannot open the AC. it’s very hot there and has a strong smell.

Revised

We just moved our office last week to a higher level/floor in the same building. We just moved to a higher floor. As the previous office was small to fit cannot to have all the colleagues, so we had separate floors. Now we combined them together and have the whole floor to our company. But the smell is very strong so we can’t go back to the office. Especially for colleagues who want to have a baby, it’s very bad for them. I’m still waiting for the notice. Last week, I tidied up all the stuffs I had and moved to the higher floor to do some cleaning. For the half hour that I stayed in the office, I felt very bad and dizzy, my eyes (felt like they) were burning. It’s newly decorated, all the furnitures are new, so the smell is very strong. I hope I can go back to the office, but in terms of the situation, I don’t know when we can go back to the office.
