VIP Class Notes (Lily) [S/R]

Vocabulary

1.weird= strange 奇怪
ex: Jane, there’s a weird man looking at us, let’s run.
ex: My mom puts on a pair of weird shoes.

2.make good money= make a lot of money $$$$$
ex: Lawyers can make good money.
ex: When I get a promotion, I will make good money! 🙂

One of my team colleagues resigned last week. I will handle her whole work, I think it’s a little difficult for me, maybe I need to OT some times. We have a plan to recruit a new staff to handle my work, the new candidate on board this week, she didn’t know something about the job, she’s work is different than what I do, so sometimes I feel tired to teach her, she doesn’t know nothing. She advantage is she can ob board immediately. We cannot wait for one month.

Every week, I have a son to learn different lessons in the school. After the class, I need to help him to review what he learned today, I will give him some homework to do. He will be 5 years old on April. He has math, writing, phonics, Chinese homework. From morning, my parents will take him to kindergarten. After work, when I went home, I will teach him some homework, because my husband always need to OT, he always arrive home very late.

Revised

One of my team colleagues resigned last month. I took over her work, I think it’s a little difficult for me, maybe I might need to OT some times. We had a plan to recruit a new staff to take over my work, the new candidate was on board this week, she didn’t know anything about the job, her expertise/working experience is different than mine, so sometimes I feel tired training her, she doesn’t know anything. Her advantage is that she can be on board immediately. We could not wait for another month.

Every week, I take my son to learn different lessons in the institutions. After the class, I need to help him to review what he learned everyday, I will give him some homework to do. He will be 5 years old in April. He has math, writing, phonics, Chinese homework. In the morning, my parents will take him to kindergarten. After work, when I go home, I will teach him/help him with some homework, because my husband always need to OT, he always comes back home very late.

1. Don’t ask if you can be friends

This kind of directness when applied to friendship seems weird to foreigners and is too much of an initial commitment before we get to know you. That kind of candor can scare the laowai away, as friendship to us is not something that you vocally agree on, but rather something that is built over time.

2. Don’t ask if you can practice your English with us

This kind of transactional-like approach can simply make your target feel like they’re being used. Remember that foreigners in China can make good money giving simple conversation classes, so most will see no benefit in chatting with you simply so you can improve your English. Ask if they want to have a coffee or a drink sometime instead. You’ll still get to practice your English, but you might make a genuine friend, too!
