VIP Class Notes (Tibo)

Speaking exercise

This week I am not going on business trips.

I will go back to my hometown and in my spacetime go to some countries for traveling. NZ , AUS, French , …
Most of the cities are like Shanghai tall buildings… and the heavy traffic at rush hours .
If you want to go from one place to another you can call Didi and if you have a car because I work in Lujiazui it is very expensive for parking your car.
the plates cannot be traded by the citizens.

I think it is expensive, it is useful, is it appropriate because now we are not so rich, we spend so much time on the rocket and exploring the universe .
I think the government should spend money on the poor people, especially in western China. Many students have no chance to go to school in some undeveloped villages.
Maybe they just want to compete with the US

Russia’s economy is not so developed like the US. US just wants to weaken Russia by this way.

China has a lot of troubles, small conflicts with India. It is difficult for China.
China develops very fast they want to control China because the US is the most powerful country in the world. They don’t like a strong country to compete with them.

I think it is ok, they ask the cinema to do protection measures. The audience cannot sit very close for each other, they should give a certain space between them.

Now in Shanghai I just took the subway so many people. Planes a lot of people get together.
This is also good for the economy about the movie and the cinema. Now a lot of cinema have no business so some of them closed . It is very serious. A lot of workers they lose their jobs.

Even Trump is also wearing a mask.
