I had a lot of classes with different teachers. 

Q: Something you are good at
A: Last time Vicki told me Cindy, you’re well-rounded. The word you taught me. I also agree with her comments. I think I am good at everything. When I met the new things or new skills, I study very quickly. For example, when I was a little girl, my father took me to the place at night. I can remember the direction every time. And the second time I can do my mother’s direction. The second one is Ally said Cindy, you study is very fast. Finally, when I joined this company, everything is new start. I build in paper work, and get a lot of order from customers. I do different things everyday. So I think I am good at everything.

A: I had a class last time with Vicki, and she told me that I am well-rounded. (Take them out of quotations) , the same word you taught me/which is a word you taught me before. I agree with her comments. I think I am good at everything, but only a little bit./I don’t think I have any outstanding/extraordinary abilities, but I’m a little bit good at everything. When I deal with new things or new skills, I learn/adapt very quickly. For example, when I was a little girl, my father took me to many different local places at night, like parks or playgrounds. I could remember the direction every time. And the second time, I can take my mother there/I can tell my mother the directions/I can be my mother’s GPS. Another thing I’m good at is learning. Ally said that I learn very fast. When I joined this company, it was a brand new start/everything was a new challenge. I build up a paper work system/an organized system, and got a lot of orders. Now I do different things everyday, and I’m pretty comfortable. So I think I am a little bit good at everything.

To edit for hw:

A: I am good at swimming, because I studied swimming in primary school for 10 years. I got a champion. I studied swimming twice a week. Every day when I’m on the swimming pool, our teacher told us to line to your body on the shui mian. The second one I think I am good at chess. That’s my junior high school’s major. I have a qualification. I have two types of qualifications; Chinese chess and Japanese chess. I remembered the last time, maybe in 15 years ago, I attend the competition. My competitor is a primary student. He was a boy. I guessed he is 10 years old. I was very nervous when I had the competition, because I was think if I lost the competition, I was very stupid, because he is a primary school. The first round and second round, I win. The third one I lost so my level is 10 or 9.
