PEPERO？POCKY? I had Chiken Katsu Carry(￡5.45) of WASABI for my lunch today. That was really good as usual. And when I was paing for that, I saw this. I was like, It's a Pocky, isn't it?? and then I realized that LOTTE makes it. It says LOTTE on the top of the package. I thought that should be good If they make it. Actually, It was not bad, but Japanese one (Real LOTTE's) is more tasty, I guess. Wasabi is a Korean company, I was a bit surprised that they are collaborating. BTW, Pepero means Pocky in Korean.

A Grumpy man I got a phone call at my work place in this morning. And then, The customer said bra bra bra.. something in stock? He spoke very fast. I was struggling to understand and I didn't catch what he said exactly. So I said to him, '' Could you say that again please?'' I think He said same phrases again and gave our product number to me, and I tried to catch number carefully. But I couldn't catch some of them. So I said, '' Would you mind repeating that? '' and then, He was like '' Is my accent something wrong???'' He sounded, like He was bad in the mood. I said, '' I'm sorry, my English is not strong'' and He said '' Does anyone speak English?'' After all, My boss answered to him for me. It's not easy to answer the phone... in English.

I was looking for good method to improve telephone conversation today. My big challenge is to improve my speaking and hearing, especially, over the phone. Because, I need to speak in English with customer and my all colleague at my work place. My work place is very busy environment. I need to answer quickly all the time. And then, I found some video that related telephone conversation on Youtube, but I couldn't find what I want. I want to learn how to say to my colleague or boss on the phone.
