F2F Class Notes (Nicholas) [W]

Let’s look at your Chinese CV/Resume and maybe we can start to write an English-only version and a Chinese-English version.

I want you to start writing short summaries about what your are reading in your HR books (best practices) = 1 paragraph. And I want you to write 1 paragraph on your opinion or personal experience with this topic. So 2 paragraphs total = 1 summary, 1 opinion. Submit these for homework as often as possible.

We should read some challenging, business books together, I’m thinking of a book called “Principles” by Dalio.

Grammar

I don’t have a lot of friends

Original

At weekends, I like to watch variety shows at home or play with my cat and dog. Especially in winter, the weather is getting colder and colder. I like to watch TV with a quilt wrapped. If my friends invite me to go outside, I will watch movies or hang out with them. But, most of time I like to enjoy my own time alone. If the weather is good, I like to go to the library to read some HR books or review the English class. I really like to be alone, even if nothing is done. I am usually tired with the heavy work, so I prefer lie in bed in a daze at weekends.
