It was raining for these days. I remember I had class on Friday. Before the class, I had lunch with my classmate at the university.

The feeling was a bit weird for me. I feel è½åŽ my friends. Before, that my mother told me to have a baby quickly and I have excuse saying, “my friends around me don’t have baby.” I haven’t told my mother that they are pregnant.

Parents are very important for kids, for their mental health, especially for the little kids.

No one know how to be a mother, how to be a parent before having a baby. Everyone learn how to be a parent after you be a baby.

We do live streaming after the outbreak of COVID-19. At the beginning of the lockdown, half of our stores have to be closed so we choose live stream to have a contact with our customers. It depends the person’s personality. I think the KOLs have very strong personalities. They prefer to show themself on social platform. THey like to share with others. For some people they’re not very talkative when face-to-face, they tend to express online, on social media.

Revised: 

It was raining for 2 days last weekend. I remember I had a class on Friday. Before the class, I had lunch with my classmates at the university.

It felt a bit weird/strange/uneasy for me. I felt that I’m lagging behind my friends. Before that, my mother encouraged/pressured/pushed me to have a baby quickly and I had an excuse “my friends around me don’t have babies yet.” I haven’t told/updated my mother that now, they are pregnant.

Parents are very important/essential for kids, for their mental health, especially for the little kids.

Nobody knows how to be a parent before having a baby. Everyone learns how to be a parent after you have a baby.

We started live-streaming after the COVID-19 outbreak. At the beginning of the lockdown, half of our stores had to be closed/shut so we chose to live stream maintain contact/keep in contact with our customers. It depends on the person’s personality. I think KOLs have very strong personalities. They prefer to show themselves on social media platform. They like to share/they are very open with others. Some people are not very talkative/outspoken face-to-face, they tend to express themselves online, on social media.
