VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Homework

Think of a few things around you that you can describe and record yourself describing them using conjunctions to add details.

eg. I have a phone and it is in front of me but I think it is not a good phone so I will buy a new one soon. It is red and black and it was very expensive so I feel sad because I spent so much money.

Next Class Focus

Talk about simple things around us, add details.

I like to shopping for clothing because wearing nice clothing makes me charming and confidence. I buy clothing once a month but I can’t spend a lot of money on it as a girl. Sometimes I buy T-shirt on the website due to it’s more cheaper and convenient ,but the weakness is that you can’t try it on.So when I buy coat or something which is expensive ,I prefer to go to the shore with my friends. I can try different clothing on me and compare them, my friends also give me some comments to help what I choose. I bought clothings two month ago, my mother and I hang out in the street and walked into the store which is on sale.I picked a jacket and a hoodie, they were very nice and the prices were reasonable. Eventually, I think the most important thing of buying clothing is comfort you and suit you.

Helped write this:

I love music and my favourite type of music is rock because rock makes me exciting and energetic. I have loved music for 10 years since I was 18. In my adolescence I spent a lot of time on listening to different albums from British and American bands. I remember when I was in university my roommate introduced me to the beetles and I thought it was really cool so from that time I fell in love with them / music.
