TEXT 1. MY FIRST DAY AT WORK My first day at work didn’t go according to plan. I arrived early to make a good impression, but when I got there the lift was out of order . The office is on the 22nd floor but I decided to use the stairs . While walking up them I feel over and hurt my knee. By the time I got to the office I couldn’t walk anymore My new boss told me to go to the hospital to make sure the problem wasn’t very serious. I didn’t even get to see my new desk before I left.
