My New Company

Today is a cloudy day. Early morning, I get up at seven thirty. Today I need to go to the new company. That company is very far from me. Therefore, I need to take the public bus. The public bus is slower than the subway. I waited at the intersection for ten minutes. Many people are waiting for the public bus here. I take the bus to meet the new manager. The manager's office is extremely big. Everyone welcomes me extremely warmly.

At noon, my colleagues and I eat lunch. We eat lunch in the big company. The waiters here are extremely good. Lunch has hot fish and noodles. My colleagues and I eat dumplings together. We all ate until we were extremely full. After the meal, the colleague reads the new newspaper. The things in the newspaper are extremely interesting. I feel very happy today.

In the afternoon, we need to write a new plan. Colleagues write characters extremely beautifully. These matters are extremely important. There is a lot of work that I don't understand. Good colleagues help me at my side. He tells me his name. He is extremely friendly to me. I already understood these tasks. We all feel extremely happy.

We leave the company at five thirty in the afternoon. It is currently snowing heavily outside. I feel it is extremely cold outside. I am wearing a coat. That coat is red. These coats are extremely cheap. We take the subway to go home. Inside the subway is extremely quiet. Although I am a bit tired today. But I think it is very interesting. Tomorrow is the weekend. If it does not rain, I will go traveling. I can rest at home now.
