短文聽讀 Text

         I was an intern at a large technology company last summer. Before the internship started, I was very excited. However, after I started work, I was quite disappointed. I had to empty over fifty trash cans before everyone arrived in the morning. And after they clocked in, I had to make everyone coffee. That’s all I did for three months. As for gaining computer skills, don’t even ask!

           我去年夏天在一間大型科技公司擔任實習生。在實習開始之前，我很興奮。不過，開始工作後我感到相當失望。早上在大家抵達前，我得清空五十多個垃圾桶。他們打卡上班後，我必須為每一個人泡咖啡。那就是我三個月以來所做的事。至於習得電腦技巧，問都別問了！
