Reading
Desks description.
Secretaries have a telephone on their desk and a computer. You find
an agenda because secretaries need to make appointments for their
bosses. Secretaries' desks often have pictures of their children and
families that they look at from time to time during the day. In the past,
secretaries were usually women. Today, however, more and more
men are becoming secretaries as more and more women become
managers and the workplace becomes more equal.
