We just moved 3 weeks ago, 4 because we had to quarantine for 2 weeks.

We are a family of 5. They are 16, 12 and 9. We came because of my husband’s business.

In France, we have a testing laboratory and I am a medical biologist.

My husband is a CFO for a French company. It is a informative company. My 3 kids go to a French school in Qingpu.

I hope to improve my English for work. I don’t have a lot of vocabulary and I need to improve my grammar.

In France, I have a important job and I work all day so I don’t know what is it to be at home. It’s been two weeks. I go at the gym because in France I didn’t have the time to go at the gym because of work because of the gym.

It was horrible because we were close contact. We had COVID positive around us on the plane. After two days at the serviced apartment, they came to take us to the hotel and we were separated for 2 weeks.
