VIP Class Notes (Kyle)

Weekly Working Routine: 

What is your daily working routine?

Original:

I only work for 1 hour in the morning every weekday. My workday …. I will write something about our company business. Computer work. Yes, I have a routine. Sounds good but I don’t feel good. No plan. The job is really good just only work for an hour. I have a lot of free time and can do anything. This is the life. Sometimes I just lay down on the bed. Sometimes I will go outside to walk, walking around. Visit near Shanghai around… In rural China, their face is different is than ours.

Edited:

I only work for 1 hour in the morning every weekday. My workday …. I will write something about our company business.  Normally, I am working from the Computer when I am writing for my company. I personally prefer not to work so/too much. It’s nice to work on fewer hours for the week, but I don’t want to become a lazy person.

Sometimes after work I just walk around. And sometimes I will explore different parts of Shanghai 探索上海的不同地方. And I will have a look 看一下 at some places which I could revisit later 我以后可以再重温一下.
