It details her initial challenges of joining a large organization with no prior experience and her visual impairment, which was openly disclosed. A significant part of her role involved working as a switchboard operator, where she was responsible for answering phones and transferring calls to various departments. She also handled international calls, memorizing and dialing 10-12 digit numbers for countries like Australia, Fiji, and Singapore. The narrative highlights an instance where a colleague initially offered to write down numbers but was impressed when Theresa successfully recalled and dialed them from memory, leading to the colleague's exclamation, \"You are amazing!\". Theresa humorously responded by calling herself \"Memory Master,\" showcasing her resilience and positive attitude despite her visual impairment. The document also includes comprehension questions related to Theresa's job duties, the countries she called, and the reasons behind her colleague's admiration, prompting readers to consider their own potential 'super abilities'. The latter part of the document provides biographical information about Theresa, including her age, marital status, a son, and the age at which she became visually impaired, also mentioning her current situation of staying at home with her family and her enjoyable experience participating in a story-writing workshop.","English  \n1  \nMy first day at work with PNG Ports was a challenging day forme.

Then I would dial those numbers.  \n4  \nOne day a collegue spent an hour with me at the reception desk. She saw me receive a call from a co-worker. Then I had to call Fiji.  \nShe wrote the numbers on apiece of paper. I just dialled the numbers from my memory, and made the call.  \n6  \n\"You are amazing!\" she said.  \nI smiled at her and joked, \"That's my super ability! Just call me Memory Master!\"  \nCheck Your Understanding  \n1.
