My Third Day

My third day at my internship was a little more difficult. Patricia the manager wanted me to do a lot of things. Usually I’m a little bit clumsy, but that day it was worst. I prepared the coffee, but the machine didn’t work and I dropped the bag of coffee on the floor. I felt so bad. After, there was two bottles one for hot water and the other one for the coffee and I poured the coffee in the wrong one! It wasn’t my day, but it went better after. 

When I spoke with Shanie, I noticed that she always had problems with her verbs in French. She’s good in French but not for the verb. In English I think it is easier to use the verbs. That day, there were a lot of customers in the store, it never stopped. I felt more confident to speak with customers. I find that to be in a store it is less embarrassing than being in a classroom with students, because the customers don’t tell my mistakes and often they don’t even noticed that my English is not my first language. My strategy is really working because I tried to not worry about my grammar and concentrate myself more on the communication. It really helped me because I’m able to have long conversations with people. Shanie told me how to say: ‘’ Maladroite’’ and it is clumsy. I also learned the verb ‘’pour’’ because of Patricia when she asked me to pour the coffee. I observed a lot Shanie when she speaks and I find that she uses often this expression: ‘’ there you go ‘’.  That was my day, I helped a lot the manager and I appreciated going there because I’m learning more and more the English language.
