VIP Class Notes (Nicholas)

Share an American song with me.

Original

The most difficult thing is how to manage the relationship with parents, friends, colleagues, boyfriend or girlfriend… etc.. Why relate different people is so difficult? One reason is some people are very important for us. They will belong with us for a long time even a life. Such as parents, husband or wife , children… They are family and they love us no more other reasons and conditions. Since they are our family , that means if they did something horrible, and our heart will be broken but we still should forgive for them. That’s difficult for us. Forgive is difficult. Another reason is we should act a two face person in our life with other people. That ‘s not easy too. We act a nice , gentle and good person, only show our weakness , angry ,sad emotions when we are alone.

Forgiveness is difficult. Another reason is sometimes we have to be “two-faced” in our life with other people. That’s not easy either. We act nice , gentle and kind, and only show our weaknesses like anger, sadness and other emotions when we are alone.
