An Essay by June Chang

While cleaning up my study, I came acrosss this essay written by June Chang in Aug, 2010. Thanks to starting learning English early and extensive reading, June has a really good command of English. Chris, a colleague and friend, often said her writing was just like that of a native speaker of English, natural and fluent.

I didn't have the picture-telling writing task with me. However, by reading it, you might be able to imagine what the picture looks like.

Monday morning, Lucy came to work with a   smile. She was humming her favorite tune when she opened her office door and   found her desk scattered with documents and ax papers, and the window beside   her desk wide open. The wind had blown all her things out of their places.   She quickly closed the window and started to tidy things up.Next thing she knew, when she looked up, her   boss was standing over her messy desk with a frown on his face. Lucy tried to   explain, "Sir, I accidentally left..." "No excuses,"   interrupted her boss, with a finger pointed at her. "If you keep this   up, you're fired," he warned and left without another word. Lucy sighed   and made a note to herself to remember to check all the windows before she   leaves in the future.
