Speaking exercise

I had a meeting yesterday. It’s terrible, I think I cannot say English fluently in the meeting. There are too many people in the meeting, when you talk, someone else talk, I don’t have the opportunity to speak anything, because I usually take some time to think first then speak. I’m slower, I don’t feel good because I’m not so confident for my English.

I started my cooking classes the week before last week, to make dumplings. The classes were postponed for a month due to the coronavirus. The school re-opened. I can get a certificate if I complete the course and pass the examination. I also can get tax refund for the tuition fee.
