In today's writing, at firtst, I would like to thank Mr. Mahdi Seifollahi for his help with my writing these days. The Help offered by him is very precious for most students in Asia who want to learn good English but don't have good learning environments. I hope students like me can have the chances to meet more helpful teachers like Mr. Mahdi Seifollahi in the future. By then, learning circumstance will not be a problem at all!

This afternoon the new company I am going to work for asked me to go to the office to tell me when to work and what I should know on the first day of work. It was going ok. I was quite fond of this company and hope to work as soon as possible! I will become lazybones soon if I don't get some work to do. After that, I went to the bank I used to work as a security guard there. The manager of the bank said he wanted to give me some clothes which fit him very well when he bought them. But, he had no idea why he couldn't wear them any more after just a few months. I guess the one to blame is his wife, a really great cook! Anyway, I tried those clothes on which were still very new and they fit me very well.
