1 Hello, everyone. It's so nice to see you on my last day at work. The past 30 years were filled with both challenges and joys. All my days up high in the air will be kept in my memory.
2 I still remember my first summer as a “spiderman”. It was a day much hotter than today! I was wet all over. Drops of sweat fell in my eyes. When I opened them, I saw a juicy watermelon. It was carefully cut into small pieces. A kind woman was smiling brightly at me from inside the building. That was the sweetest watermelon of my life.
3 I'm reminded of some other friends I met through the glass. There was this sweet newborn baby. I watched her grow bit by bit. She was always excited when I appeared outside her window. She laughed as her cat tried to “catch” my brush. Later, she drew a picture of me and showed it to me! Happiness passed through the glass and into my heart. One day, her mother held up a note for me: the family was moving. I felt sad, but also happy that we were once friends.
4 Window cleaning is not always considered a good job, but I'll never regret it. I have met a lot of kind people and been part of many warm stories. I found a sense of achievement in my job.
5 Today I am saying goodbye to my job as a “spiderman”. And you are going to start your days up in the air. The city shines brighter because of us, and the job will make us shine,too. Best wishes to you all!
