Texto de leitura

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

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
