Speaking exercise

I want to have a trip in September and finding a new job in October. I have enough time but my husband doesn’t, so we have to plan where we want to go. I want to go to Iceland, but I think I need 2 weeks, but my husband’s annual leave only 5 days, so we can’t go such far. I want to go to Xinjiang instead of Iceland, XJ is very beautiful and interesting, but September is too cold to be here. In late September, XJ will snow. We don’t have Plan C so we have to discuss about our vacation. I’ve been to Korea, I don’t like that place. I’ve been Japan for 5 times overtime I went to Japan, just buy buy buy. I want to get some new experience from my trip. When I get my salary every month, I will buy the ticket to some places I want to go. I have lots of vacation, annual leave days in my previous company.

I want to find a different industry. I ask my previous job is about air conditioner and air/water cleaners, it’s all about electricity. I want to find a job about traveling and games. There are many opportunities, everyday I can get call from recruiters. I think I have many opportunities, it’s easy to find a job, it’s hard to find an interesting job. Besides money, I want to find some friends in my office, I want to make friends with others. I think interesting colleagues is very important. My previous job is very far from my home, so the company has shuttle bus, so I have to take shuttle bus everyday. If my next company doesn’t have shuttle bus, I want to find some near ones. I think one hour is most. On the shuttle bus, I can sleep, I can eat breakfast. If I take metro, I can’t do anything.
