Speaking exercise

when was the last time you panicked

Two months ago, last I panicked was two months ago. One day, my husband and I took my daughter to a park. When I took her to the restroom, after I washed my hands, I couldn’t see my daughter. I founded her everywhere, I can’t found her. I ran to my husband and asked him “where’s my daughter?” He said he didn’t see her. So we panicked. At that time, I saw her near us. She was watching the other children drawing. We yelled at her and told her “next time if she want to go anywhere, she must told us and need with us”.

When my daughter plays, she always forget to go the bathroom.

Writing exercise

Do you agree that people should make plans before doing something? Why?

Yes, I agree it.

I like make plans about everything including work,life and trip. I wonder the reason about it is my parents aren’t trustworthy, so I must think more than them. I’ve been boarding since primary school, and I have to make a list of the things which I need taking to school. I think I became a planner is because of these childhood experiences. Before I go to the supermarks, I’ll make a list. On the first day of each month, I make a plan and plan all my learing, work, fitness. The good habit helps me to have a better work and life.
