Wishing you all the joys of the season! Please help me. I wonder using the above sentence is natural? Should it be "Wish you all the joys of the season" or something else? Thank you a lot for helping me!

Working for a Japanese company I have been working at a Japanese company for a year. And I feel it is so strict and conservative. Japanese don’t seem to be good at English, and I can’t speak Japanese. After a year not practicing, my English skill is worse. When they pronounce a word wrong, I correct for them, but next time, they still make that mistake. Again again and again, so I have to try to understand their own English. I remember at the first working day, they gave me many disciplines to follow Such as: Don’t lean on the chair when sitting to work, don’t take off your shoes, don’t eat, don’t lean your chin on your hand, don’t talk too loud, don’t talk about other things except working problems, don’t play game even though you finished your work, don’t ….don’t….and don’t. A girl sneeze 2 times and she has to off from work that day because they afraid she will transmit illness for other people….Although she isn’t ill??? And i can’t imagine how careful they are. More exactly, they are so punctilious, always go in details. My boss always comment the way I write an email “please check attached file? You forgot “the”, I think it should be please check the attached file”. Okay, I can edit it next time. But one day, she said “you use its pleasure to working with you in email, it’s so boorish and not business, not professional, you should use hello, good morning, how are you today”. I can’t stand her anymore, She always wants to correct my English though she can only speak Japanese. Sometimes I really want to break the rules, leave this company and find a new job. But to find other company can pay me better than here is so difficult, because my working skill is not too much. Additional, my English skill is going down. I need to improve it for my future job. Please help!

Foreign collegue Recently, a Germany boy has come to our office to work. He is handsome and tall, he has white complexion and blue eyes. Everyday, I use English to communicate to him, but not too much, just say good morning and see ya.He came here about 3 weeks ago but until today, we have lunch together, now I have chance to speak English. And I realized that my speaking is not good enough, we used body language, facial expressions and getures to understand each other. I will try my best to improve my English. Although I love my country but I don't know why many foreigners come to my country to live. Can you give some?

Today I'm not okay. I got a job and it doesn't require me to use English. My English skill is going down. I got some foreign friends and we talk a lot...we learn mistakes from each other :)) I realized that when I made mistakes they still understand me...so I keep making mistakes everyday. One day, my friend told me that I should forget him because I told him "Hey I can't understand what are you saying", He said he didn't want to hurt me, didn't want to make me angry and we never meet (??? I can't understand what happened). I hate language barrier! That's why I keep practising English..........

Drinking alcohol.... Just a funny story with different cultures from different countries. I have many foreign friends thanks for italki, One day I texted a message to them: "Hey I almost drunk!" One friend from USA told me that "hey I like you already, you know the way to enjoy your life, we should have a drink when I come to Vietnam" Chinese friend: "It's not good for your health, drink less" Italian friend: "What kind of wine did you drink?" Vietnamese friend: "Hey hey bad girl, no one will marry you" .......huhhmmm. what do you think? I think when you almost drunk, that feeling is sooooo good....hahah but after that it may make you have headache the next day.

Email me. I know that in stressful and high pressure life today, sometimes people really want to have a person to share with or just talk to. In the past, we usually wrote diary or blog to express our thinking, feeling to other people. How about an email to a stranger? I miss every morning time when I went to our office, turned on computer and checked mail. That made me recall to "you have mail" film. But it is different. We can talk about everything together without knowing each other because....we may never meet each other. Many things you can't talk to your friends even close friends or family....so.........

Mail exchange It is very awesome if you have someone always are willing to listen to you even when you are being crazy. And I think nowsaday, people forget using email or handwriting letters. My teacher has a foreign friend, they usually send email or letter to each other to tell about job, life, people, love ...etc. I love travelling so I really want to have a friend, who can share everything with me. I used to imagine that I come to a strange destination, take many beautiful photos, then I attach to an email, write something interesting and send it to my friend. Such as "Hey, I came to your ideal place, don't be jealous with me, you will come here some day, look at my photos, are they stunning? Hope you were here with me right now. miss you so much"....And maybe one day, in the morning, I wake up, seat at my table , drink coFfee, read email my friend send to me....and smile. is it beautiful?

Meeting foreigners! Today, having a French girl come to our office to renew a residence permit. Because she wants to stay in Vietnam several weeks more to travel. Maybe my country is so beautiful hahah. At first, I said "good morning to her" and then I asked "Can I help you?"...She replied "...visa situation"...and my head started to be in a whirl. I don't know anything about it, I'm a new one and have no experience so I had to ask for help...Maybe few months later my working skill will become better and I have more confidence in myself to communicate with foreigners. Good morning from Vietnam :)

New week, new job It's 7 days till I started working at a very small tourism company. Firstly, I hope this had been an iteresting job, but now I'm wrong. All I have to do is collecting information about price of rooms from other hotels and resorts, cars, train, plain... in our country and then save it on my computer. They told me that in the future, my job is more enjoyable, I will be sent to other destinations several days to learn about them to consult customers or I can become a tourist guide if I want. Well, first step is always hard. Hope that I could love this job. Have a nice week!
