Introduction 刚开始工作的时候，Cindy很少考虑汇报，只是一门心思做好具体工作。觉得花时间在写报告上太费时间了，没什么用。 When Cindy began her job, she rarely pay attention to reporting, and instead just focus on completing the job at hand. She found it is a waste of time and useless to spend time on writing reports. ? 但越到后来她越发现其实做汇报文件很重要。如果能用成绩说服老板，将来再争取资源、批准项目什么的也容易得多。 But later on, however, she found report writing to be a very important facet of her work. If she is able to convince her supervisors of her achievements, it will be easier to get more resources and to get her projects approved faster in the future. ? Dialogue Hanson: Cindy，你上次的演讲表现得不错。 Hanson: Cindy, you did a good job in the last presentation. ? Cindy: 谢谢您的夸奖。 Cindy: Thank you. ?

You can learn it all by yourself. ? Cindy: 好的，我试试吧。不过我发现在PPT里画图表和图片实在很麻烦。 Cindy: OK, I will try, but I
