Reading Review
I watched everyone loves Raymond recently. One episode is about a disagreement about money between Raymond and Debra. Raymond deposited $1000 into a program without telling Debra. He wanted to persuade her to invest so 2 salesmen went to their house to give a presentation. After they finished their presentation, Debra refused to invest. Raymond discussed with those two salesmen if it was possible that he could get a refund/ get his money back / withdraw his deposit. They said no because all the money had been used on the presentation. At night, Raymond confessed this to his wife/Debra. She freaked out and grabbed all her/the bedding to sleep in another room. The day after/Next day, Debra made a chore chart for Raymond. If he could do the laundry, he would get 50 dollars. When he was arguing with his wife, his mother came in to the house to do laundry. Accidentally, she leaked a secret that she lent 5000 dollars to Debra when Debra needed money to buy something for Raymond. At last, Debra and Raymond were even.

On Saturday, I went to Wukang Road, there were many people to take pictures especially young girls weared tight jeans with holes and ask their boyfriends to take photos for them. I sit in a bar and had a cup of coffee and a piece of chocolate brownie. Then I came here to have a class with Raph. The day after, one of students here took me to a bar. We read a bibles together with his foreign friends. One of his friends, Sisi, had problems in resign/reupdate visa. Actually my work is assistant so I good at it. I helped her to fill the visa form online and we added each other on Wechat to become friends.
