Part 2: Fill-in-the-Blanks

Yesterday, I had to call my friend because I cannot drive my car to work. I left my ID card at home, which was quite inconvenient since I needed it for an important meeting about my career. Thankfully, my friend offered to carry me to the center of the city where my office is located. On the way, we talked about how much the world has changed over the last century. We discussed the challenges of raising a child and how different life is for children today, especially with Chinese language being commonly taught in schools. We even laughed about how much we love chocolate and debated which brand to choose when we next go shopping.

Once I got to work, I joined a class in the company classroom, where we were discussing new strategies for closing deals. After that, I went to grab a coffee at a nearby café before heading to college for my evening course. I had come a long way in my studies, and it made me think about how common technology is in education today. My company had just launched a new app, and we were set to compare it with our competitors’ versions. I had to complete a project using my computer, but before that, I went to a concert with my friends. During the conversation, we tried to correct our misunderstandings about the event schedule, which had a cost higher than we expected.

After the concert, I wished I could take more time for myself, but of course, I had to go back to work. I was helping the team create a marketing plan that focused on global culture and customer engagement. Our customers were from all over the world, and we needed to design campaigns that resonated with different markets.
