Dear my net friends

Long time no see, how is everybody?

I really want to come here everyday and communicate with all the English lovers here, but it seems that there is always a huge disparity between dream and reality. Maybe this is what we call LIFE.

I’ve been an intern in a foreign company for almost two months, and my title is sales assistant. There are altogether six people in the sales department, with four specialize in the domestic market and another two in the foreign market, I, am one of the latter. They are all doing very well and correspondingly very busy everyday. They have numerous calls to answer, numerous e-mails to reply, and they have to arrange the delivery. They are really busy!

However, I am relatively free compared with them. Since I am a new comer here, I don’t have the calls, the e-mails, let alone the delivery. My duty everyday is to get familiar with the products and post message on the B2B platform, and occasionally when there are foreign customers here and my manager is busy, I will be pushed onto the frontline and act as a translator.

A few days ago, one of my newly-coming colleagues asked me how many business deals have you got? I smiled and said none, and he continues how long have you been here? I answered about 40 days, and he said take it easy and pat my shoulders and go away. That night, though lay in bed, I can’t fall in sleep. I always think that I’m a new comer here and it is natural that I won’t have the business so soon, but his words make me feel that I’m so incapable.

Am I?
