Let me introduce myself, my name is Simon and I am here to present the company where I went on a work placement. Here is the plan of my presentation.
To begin with, I’ll speak about the location of the company and present the staff
Then, I’ll make the description of the activity and I’ll tell you about my tasks.
Finally, I will conclude with what I liked and what I didn’t like.
I did my work placement in a small supermarket. The company is located in the suburbs. There are fifteen employees. My relationship with the staff was friendly and I felt at ease My tutor, Mr Neerah was the shop manager. He was very helpful and I learned a lot under his supervision
My job was mainly to restock the shelves and to check the inventory.
The difficulty was dealing with the customers. Some were nice but others were nasty. At first I was not at ease but I gradually gained self-confidence. And I can now deal with nasty customers. I learned to keep my self-control and the most important is to keep smiling; because the customer is always right!
This work experience was positive and an excellent experience because I learned a lot of new skills and I became self-confident.
The bad point is that I wasn’t paid at all. The good point is that I developed new skills and I now feel at ease when I deal with a customer.
I think that work experience is a good opportunity to gain new skills and to break the routine from school. It’s easier than school and more fun. I am now sure to make a career in the sales and would like to have my own shop later.
Thank you for your attention. Now I’ll do my best to answer your questions if you have any.

(January 4, 2014)I met with two of my old friends and we drank wine together. Along with the beautiful wine, transparent fluty sound from the wine glasses and the wonderful aroma of the wine, everything was wonderful!

I will go to the gym three times a week.
I won't flirt with the boss.
