新工程师的工作

今天早晨的天气好极了。我今天来到一个很大的工厂。我在这里当一个新工程师。经理今天为我安排了工作。我们打算解决一些老问题。我觉得这些问题并不简单。同事们的关系一直非常好。大家都决定努力做好工作。我把所有的计划写在纸上。这些计划被经理看完了。经理同意了我的工作计划。他觉得这个主意非常好。

中午经理突然带我们去饭馆。我们在那里一起吃大羊肉。午饭的菜比较丰富。我们高兴得一起喝啤酒。另外经理还给我们买热茶。红茶的味道也非常好喝。红茶的香气让我们很舒服。大家也一起喝了很多果汁。大家都感到非常幸福。

下午两点我们开始开会。大办公室里头的环境很静。我们必须注意公司的规定。经理在会议上发表了报告。听到他的发言我们拍手。我们的发展会越来越好。经理帮大家解决很多困难。新工作表格并不难计算。我相信我们能保证完成。我们希望明天是晴天。

下午的工作在五点半结束。外面的大风让我有一点儿害怕。我穿着一件暖和的大衣。我拿着皮包坐出租车回家。回到家以后我整理我的桌子。明天本来我们可以在家休息。

Work of a New Engineer

Today's morning weather is extremely good. Today I came to a very big factory. I work as a new engineer here. The manager arranged work for me today. We plan to solve some old problems. I feel these problems are not simple at all. The relationships of the colleagues have always been extremely good. Everyone decided to work hard to do the job well. I wrote all the plans on the paper. These plans were read completely by the manager. The manager agreed with my work plan. He felt this idea was extremely good.

At noon, the manager suddenly took us to the restaurant. We ate big mutton together there. The dishes for lunch are relatively abundant. We drank beer together happily. In addition, the manager also bought hot tea for us. The taste of the black tea is also extremely delicious. The fragrance of the black tea makes us very comfortable. Everyone also drank a lot of fruit juice together. Everyone felt extremely happy.

We start our meeting at two in the afternoon. The environment inside the big office is very quiet. We must pay attention to the company's regulations. The manager made a report at the meeting. Hearing his speech, we clapped our hands. Our development will be better and better. The manager helps everyone solve many difficulties. The new work spreadsheet is not difficult to calculate. I believe we can guarantee completion. We hope tomorrow is a sunny day.

The afternoon work finishes at five thirty. The strong wind outside makes me a bit afraid. I am wearing a warm coat. I take a taxi home holding my leather bag. After returning home, I tidy up my table. Tomorrow we could originally rest at home.
