Texto de lectura

Ana moved to London in April to start a new job at a small design company.

Before that, she worked in a shop, so working in an office was new to her.

On her first morning, she arrived early and waited outside the building with a cup of coffee.

She felt nervous because the new

colleagues

people you work withcompañeros de trabajo

were strangers to her.

Her

manager

a person who leads a team at workgerente

, Priya, welcomed her and showed her the team's room.

Ana's new task was to help create posters for local businesses.

Since that day, Ana has been learning something new every week.

She has been working with a colleague called Ben on a poster for a city festival.

Ben has worked at the company for five years, and he has been giving Ana useful

advice

At first, Ana found the design

difficult, but she asked questions instead of pretending to understand.

Now she can make changes to a poster without asking for help each time.

She has also been taking an evening course since May to improve her skills.

The team meets every Monday to talk about its projects and

deadlines

Last week, Priya asked Ana to present the festival poster to a

client

Ana spent two days preparing because she wanted to explain every choice clearly.

During the meeting, the

client

a person or company that buys a servicecliente

asked for a brighter colour and a larger title.

Ana listened carefully, wrote down the changes and finished the new version that afternoon.

The

client

a person or company that buys a servicecliente

liked it and thanked the whole team.

Ana has been living in London for three months, but she still misses her family.

She calls them every Sunday and tells them about her work and the people she has met.

Her mother asked, “Do you want to return to the shop at home?”

Ana said no: the new job has been challenging, but it has given her more

confidence

a feeling that you can do something wellconfianza

Next month, she will apply for a

permanent

position at the company.

She might not get it, but she is proud of how much she has learned.
