Dear Carol，
In this job you'll soon learn to do several things at the same time which people call multitasking. It's a bit like being a juggler keeping all your balls in the air at the same time but you'll soon get used to it.I know I found it difficult when I first got here but it soon became second nature to me.Now whenever I'm in my office I seem to be writing reports, checking my email, making and receiving phone calls, receiving visitors and updating my files.All at the same time！
So don't worry because you'll soon get the hang of it.
Anyway, good luck！
Best regards，

总之，祝你好运！
