Writing exercise

Original

Yesterday, yoyo asked me a question. She said ‘did you feel improved in SE?’ ‘I said ‘maybe a little.’ Yoyo continued, ‘originally, I have a chinese presentation, but when the meeting begin, the client want change to an english presentation, so I finished an english presentation without prepared and I did great.’
See, It’s SE’s power, although have no real book, but you can study it by yourself. Practice english twice per week with foreigner, can improve your confidence. Maybe you can’t feel your change, but audience can fell that.

Yesterday, yoyo asked me a question. She said “do you feel an improved at SE?” ‘I said “maybe a little.” Yoyo continued, “originally, I was suppose to have a chinese presentation, but when the meeting began, the client wanted to change to an english presentation, so I finished an english presentation without preparing and I did great.”
See, it’s SE’s power/affect, although they have no real book, but you can study it by yourself. Practicing english twice per week with foreigner, can improve your confidence. Maybe you can’t feel your change, but the audience can feel it.
