Online Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

review this writing and correct:

I don’t like the behavior such as spitting and litter, and now I really don’t like the behavior which is smoke in public,especially this year.

The environment is so terrible and because of the COVID-19 we have to wear a mask everyday.But there are still some people smoke in public such as in air station or on the street.

I don’t like this behavior but I couldn’t do anything.They smoke in public prove that they don’t care other people’s feelings and also don’t care their health. So when I meet these people, I often keep far away from them because I am not sure wether they would hit me if I stop them smoking in public.However I often tell my friends who like smoking that they can smoke in the area where is allowed,and it is better for them to give up smoking if they can do it.
