1、 How are things at work？

I’ve been doing the same job for 15 years。I think I’m in a rut。I need a change。

2、 ’ve got so much work on my desk。I’m really confused。 I don’t know whether I’m coming or going。

3、 It’s been a very difficult year，but I’m happy to say there now seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel。

4、 How is your business partner doing？

Our partnership didn’t last。In the end we agreed to go our separate ways。

5、 Hard work，long hours，and lots of worry。When you are trying to build up a business I’m afraid there’s no short cut to success。

6、 Are you feeling better？I heard you went to the hospital？

I’m feeling much better now thanks。I’m on the road to recovery。

7、 Sorry it took so long。I got side tracked。

8、 Have you talked to Mary recently？How is she？

She’s getting frustrated。Her career hasn’t really taken off yet。

9、 Once you’ve made your decision you realize there’s no turning back，don’t you？

10、 What do you plan to do in the future？

I can’t make up my mind。Its either stay where I am or apply for a job abroad。I seem to be at a crossroads in my present job。

11、His father’s a doctor and it’s obvious he’s going to follow in his father’s footsteps。

12、I’m doing my best but everything I do seem to involve ringing someone who’s either on holiday this week or out of the office。I feel as if I’m going nowhere fast。

13、Bill’s wife died last year。I’m afraid he just hasn’t accepted it yet。And now he’s started drinking。I’m afraid he’s just gone right off the rails。

14、There’s not prospect of promotion。I’m in a dead end job。

15、Now he’s been given a company car，he thinks he’s really arrived。

16、I just don’t have the enthusiasm I used to have。I’m running out of steam。

How are things at work？My opinion:

I am in a small company，it’s belong-to Chine Telecom Shanghai Branch。

I’ve worked here for one year。I like this job。

Because the work is very easy，I have some free time to learn English。

But I don’t like I’m in a rut，I need more chances。

Now I need to sign another working contract with my company。

However，the company don’t offer higher pay to me。

So I seem to be at a crossroads in my present job。

And in a dead end job。
