VIP Class Notes (Alex) (S-W)

grammar: 1. very/ really
2. fun / funny
3 bored / boring

My favorite teacher is my original basic English teacher. Because she’s from North-East so I very like her pronunciation in North-East and I think her teach us a lot of things about English and at class she always brings a lot of funny for us. Actually English is not very bad for me. In fact my English is not very well, just in primary school my English was well but now it’s very bad.
