My new job ....
I have been working at this company for 1 month more. I am getting used to this job, but I have yet to be familiar with durities. Mostly I can’t deal with the sudden events and therefore I have to ask Pony, my new co-worker, for a assistance. Most of time she kindly reply my questions, but sometimes she answer my questions in a bad manner. I think maybe she is busying with other duties. I think she is a good people, only the way she speaks is very directly. When she speaks to me in a very direct way and a loud sound, I have to tell myself that is just the way she speaks. Frankly, I feel a little bit uncomfortable when she speaks to me loud out. But the only way to make me feel better is to adjust myself thoughts while she speaks out loud.
The most difficult part of my new job is that I have to understand the machinery (refer to my company website :http://www.raychi.com.tw/) rather than understanding the procedures regarding International Trade. I remember I have no idea about those vocabularies Hoist , crane , stator and etc at first time. Even though I realize the meanings after picking up the dictionary, I am still fighting my way to understand their functions. What is more, the planet is very far away from my office, I can’t come across those machinery. My supervisor said the best way for me to completely understand the products of the company is to go to the planet. He will ask the engineer to pick me up to the planet to look at the machinery in the future. The most advantage for me working at my new company is that I can spend a great deal of time on my English studies. My boss allows me to do as long as I finish working. Moreover, I can also chat with friends on msn. The boss gives me much more flexbiliy to do other things in private in my working time. Unlikely my previous job in Sinopac futures company, there always have many unreasonable rules to restrict me to do. Maybe the more bigger company you work for, the more restricts you will get.

Hi Alicia,
I think, it is normal that you can't handle sudden events after one month in a company with such specific machinery and technology. It is not possible to acquire the knowledge in this short time, but it is very very important that you do that, even if it tough in the first time! Go on the front, go to the planet. (I had similar experiences and made my way)
Nice, that you also have the possibility to do private things in the company, but pay attention that it will be not too much.
Good luck.
(Why did you underline phrases? Are these your new phrases?)

Hi Annett , you are right, Those underlined phrases are new words for me on my recent English studying. I follow steven's suggestion that prnting a list of new words and phrases after reading an interesting content from The linguist or elsewhere and then try to write down somethings with those words in my way. The goal is to be more familar with those new words. Make those new words a part of my life , rather than a English learning course. Also , I can easily review the new words what I have learned through those underlined words.
