16、lan for setting up my own export company！I think that getting laid off will prove to be the best thing that ever happened to me.唐女士45岁三个月前，当我的经理告诉我，我将要下岗了，我的脑子木了，心中充满愤怒。过去，如果一个人为同一家公司工作了二十多年，他就会留在公司里直到退休！我怀疑他们裁掉我是因为公司经营的不是很好，但是这仍然使我哽咽，让我想哭。我感觉自己似乎做错了什么！尽管我知道这不是真的。一切只是由于当时劳动力市场的状况。起初，我很享受做一名全职的家庭妇女的生

21、！我是个老家伙，但我每天都在自学新把戏！一切开始于几个月前邮费价格上涨的时候。过去我每周发一次航空邮件给我在美国的女儿，但现在太贵了。我觉得是我成为互联网用户的时候了。我让我的孙子教我怎样发电子邮件和使用互联网，我真的很喜欢信息的传送和回复的速度。除了发电子邮件，能在网络眼上看到我在美国的孙辈并与之交谈也很有意思。过去如果我想看到他们，就不得不亲自去他们那里。很多人认为退休后你能做的所有的事就是关闭大脑，埋藏你曾经所学过的所有的东西。这真是大错特错。不管怎样，我现在得走了。我要练习英语了！我正在互联网上进修一个英语课程。助读讲解go up上升，上涨in person亲自anywayanyhow
