Day 371 Expanding Car-Related Knowledge

A bunch of car parts had arrived. Therefore, I have been registering them on our website. I am responsible for checking their condition and setting the price. Although they may seem like simple tasks, I do not feel like they are boring ones. This is because I can expand my horizon and get more knowledge about car industry.

Day 343 Collecting Customers' Feedback and Comments

When customers walk into our shop, I usually ask them to post their comments and feedback about our service. Their review not only allows me to reflect on my attitude, but it  can also be one factor in expanding our products to as many people as possible. Our shop is located a bit far from the center of Auckland City. For this reason, I believe that  accumulating customers' reviews is crucial for accelerating our profit .

Day 220 Phrases in Customer Service (9)

I wrote down two car parts for review. A wheel spacer is placed between the inner surface of a wheel and the hub attached to the car body to decrease the offset, which moves the tire outward. A wheel adapter is used to change the bolt pattern of a wheel, allowing different types of wheels to be installed on a vehicle. <My Past Articles Related to Customer Service> I will review my past articles and keep practicing every day.

Day 204 Phrases in Customer Service (8)

 I listed car-related vocabulary that I haven't clearly explained so far. A  High Mount Stop Lamp is positioned at the top of the tailgate. It lights up when the car is braking, making the vehicle more visible to drivers behind. Tailgate Gas Struts help keep the tailgate open. They contain gas inside a cylinder, which controls the movement. When closing the tailgate, the struts compress, and the gas inside slows it down. Power Steering makes it easier for drivers to turn the steering wheel, allowing for smoother and more effortless steering. A  Seat Belt Buckle secures the seat belt by locking it in place, ensuring passenger safety. A Shift Knob is the handle on the gear stick, which drivers hold when changing gears in both manual and automatic cars. A Combination Switch  operates multiple functions, such as turn signals, headlights, and wipers. A Door Lock Actuator is a small motor inside the car door that locks and unlocks the door when a button is pressed, e...

Day 222 Appreciation For My Friend

Image
I visited Newmarket Park after work because my friend invited me, just like we did before. I have met many calm and kind people at language school and various events, but there are only a few reliable friends with whom I can share my honest thoughts without feeling pressured. It’s easy to see that she gets along well with her coworkers at her workplace. I always learn something new from her personality and attitude. Of course, English as well. I must not forget my wife’s understanding. She once told me, "It is precious to stay abroad for a long time. Also, please absorb different perspectives and ideas during your working holiday. You don’t have to worry about spending time with women because I also have reliable male friends. Don’t let that bother you."

Day 195 Newmarket Park

Image
My friend recommended that I visit Newmarket Park before, so I went there today. Originally, I had planned to keep running during my time there. However, I was unfortunately too tired and sleepy due to my recent tight schedule. As a result, I chose to walk and do some stretching to relieve my fatigue. Many people stopped by the park, just like me, since today is a public holiday, meaning some people had the day off. This park is quite ordinary, without any special features, but I was able to fully relax thanks to its well-maintained grass. I’d like to visit again someday.

Day 171 BBC World Service Content

Image
I recently listened to some content from the BBC World Service uploaded on YouTube. I wrote down several sentences that include vocabulary new to me. Please note that the sentences below do not reflect my opinions; I have simply listed them to help me remember. First of all, that was a very contentious idea because people said, "how can you possibly compare big countries?" And they got people to take these tests, often against a great deal of local resistance. Singapore, Estonia, Taiwan or those sort of places, which we don't historically think of as being economic rivals. But you're right, kind of a good education is a much broader thing. And we as parents or whatever kind of want a lot more for our children. Well, I suppose there are two ends of that scales, the countries who might think they're doing well and then get a bit of shock. There was also an element of complacency. We don't want to segregate any people in the world. Shanghai was often considered a...

Day 185 My Emotional State

Image
I took the entire day to rest because I have been feeling extremely fatigued recently. To better understand my emotional state since arriving in New Zealand, I created a line graph to analyze my feelings. I rated my mood on a scale of one to ten three times each month. As shown below, the first peak occurred in mid-September, when I met a dependable friend at language school. Spending weekends together exploring different places helped ease the stress of adapting to a new environment. However, my mood declined soon after, as I faced challenges obtaining both a job and a working holiday visa. My motivation reached its highest point in mid-November when I finally secured a job, ensuring I could extend my stay in New Zealand. Although I’ve since encountered difficulties in areas I had no prior experience in, I’ve gradually adjusted to my new workplace.

Day 225 Sightseeing in Hamilton

Image
I finally visited Hamilton, a city I have been interested in for a while. This was my first time sightseeing in a different city. Although Hamilton is the fourth-largest city in New Zealand by population, most areas were calmer and quieter than I had expected. Such an atmosphere helped me relax and forget my worries. The highlight of my visit was Hamilton Gardens, where I saw a variety of gardens. The Japanese garden was especially amazing, and it reminded me of how beautiful Japanese culture is.
