Speaking exercise

When I was young, I find it’s hard to find a good emotion to focus on the study. During the first 3 years of my high school, my score became worse, I didn’t get a reasonable score to apply for a university. I took another year to retake the exam, and I got a higher score. That year, I lost my first priority application, so the second level university give me the offer. I thought that school is too bad, so I didn’t accept the offer. So I took another time. From my current perspective, I think the third year was not very worth it.

last weekend, we bought a lot of dumplings. My husband took one full garlic, he stand there and talk to me, I can smell the terrible smell from his mouth. I got crazy. I give him a little medicine, which can remove the mouth smell from your stomach, made in Japan. It doesn’t work. In the afternoon, we change the bedsheets for our son. I asked him “how do you think your new bedsheets” he said “it’s good, but it doesn’t smell very good”.

In my company, we will have on call meeting next month. I have to communicate in English with many Indians. I’m very scared afraid I can’t hear clearly their pronunciation. In my current online course, there’s many Indian classmates, then I choose office hour, it’s always Indian classmate ask TA question. Overtime I can’t understand what they are talking about. If he/ she doesn’t have very strong accent, I can understand mostly.

Revised

When I was young, I found it hard to be devoted to my study. During the first 3 years of my high school, my grade dropped, I didn’t get a reasonable/ sufficient grade to apply for an ideal university. I waited for another year to retake the exam, and I got a higher mark. That year, I lost my first priority application, so the second choice university gave me the offer instead. I thought that school was not good enough, so I didn’t accept the offer. So I took the test the next year. From my current perspective, I think the third year was not very worth it.

last weekend, we bought a lot of dumplings. My husband took/ate one full garlic, he stood a meter away from me and talked to me, I could smell the terrible smell from his mouth. I got crazy. I gave him a little medicine, which could remove the odor from your stomach, made in Japan. It didn’t work. In the afternoon, we changed the bedsheets for our son. I asked him “how do you think of your new bedsheets” he said “it’s good, but it doesn’t smell very good”.

In my company, we will have conference calls next month. I have to communicate in English with many Indians. I’m very scared that I may not understand hear clearly their pronunciation. In my current online course, there are many Indian classmates. when I attend office hour, it’s always the Indian classmates who ask TA questions. Most of the time, I can’t understand what they are talking about. If he/ she doesn’t have a very strong accent, I would be able to can understand a little more.
