My first week at work Last Monday was my first working day in my life. I had heard that working was a challenging task, and it was much difficult than I had expected. The biggest problem was to get along well with my colleagues. All of my colleagues came from China, and they all used Mandarin to communicate. Since I am not good at listening Mandarin, it was difficult to grasp what they said sometimes, especially when they were chatting in a fast speed. I was also afraid of speaking in Mandarin so I kept silent all the time. I feared that they might treat me as a strange person as time goes by. The second problem was to adapt to the pace of the business. There was too little manpower in the team, so everyone in the team had a lot of work. I had already been assigned a project on my third working day. This project had since been giving me a lot of pressure. I hope things would become smooth in the future... Memphis -- 25/9/2016
