First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Hello everyone,

I am Yvonne from Hong Kong, and I will graduate from Secondary School as soon after July.

Undoubtedly, English is very important since I live and going to work in this international city. No matter Even though we are just a salesmen/saleswomen or an office assistants, we need to handle the daily works with people from all around the world. Moreover, when we see the job requirement, we can find that general English is a very gerneral condition for applying for a job.

Talking about my English, I think my listening and speaking skills are the worst parts my problem areas. I once chatted with a foreigner in on a bus, he tried to talk in using very simple words but I can't get his meaning couldn't understand! After he repeated the sentence several times, I got it and realised that my listening is was totally weak and feel felt embarrassed!

I hope I can improve my English and increase my competitiveness in the society.
