Speaking exercise

I will not have day off this year, it’s a sad thing. In my job, we will spend the 5 holidays in Chinese New Year. If I want, I can work this weekend, then I can take a rest in next week, so I don’t have any day off. Our company’s production this year new right will grow up, so this is our busy time next several months. In my work contraction, we don’t have limit time, if I have thing I do, if I don’t have thing I can take a rest.

I look forward to next year 2020. A new year means new holidays. In the half of one year, we can have many Chinese festivals, then we can have many Chinese holidays. From June to December, there aren’t many holidays. Have you heard that if a job can have 3 require, it is a satisfactory job: good colleague, good money. Why I come here and study English is one of the reason. My first job need English, but my second job not need.

I had a blind date last month, but the boy has many hobbies, I don’t have hobbies. I said, if you want to do something, I can get together. On the weekend, we meet at shopping mall, then we eat something, then the whole afternoon. In his work, he work is IT, it’s boring. So he wants to have relaxing walk. We can’t have the same hobbies. He likes music but I don’t like it. Although we both like watching movie but different style. We don’t have the common topics. My friend introduced him to me. We never talk on WeChat, he just ask me “do you have time on weekend?”. I think it is the common thing we both agree, we don’t like talk about something in WeChat. We will never get together (be in a relationship/ fall in love)

Revised

I will not have any day off this year, it’s a sad thing. In my job, we will spend the 5 days of holidays in Chinese New Year. If I want, I can work this weekend, then I can take some rest next week, so I don’t have any day off. Our company’s production this year is rising, so this is our busiest time over the next several months. In my contract, we don’t have set hours, if I have something to do, I will finish it, if I don’t have anything to do, I can take a rest.

I look forward to next year 2020. A new year means new holidays. In the first half of the year, we can have many Chinese festivals/holidays, then we can have many Chinese holidays. From June to December, there aren’t many holidays. Have you heard that if a job can fulfill 3 requirements, then it is a satisfactory job: good colleague, good money, good boss. This is the reason why I come here and study English is one of the reason. I needed English for my first job need English, but I do not English for my second job not need.

So he wants to have a relaxing walk. We don’t share the same hobbies. He likes music but I don’t like it. Although we both like watching movie but we prefer different genres/kinds of movies. We don’t have the common topics. My friend introduced him to me. We never talk on WeChat, he just asks me “do you have time on the weekend?”.
