VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [S]

Speaking exercise

I want to make some targets for this year but I am not ready for that.
I need to set some plans that are not just plans, plans which I am sure I can do it.
I mean I want to make some real plans not make some wishes.

I made some plans something like that before
My friend in US showed her mother a short video which contains 2 big TVs, one is broadcast news and another she and her son are playing the Wii so her mom thought that they are crazy and totally messed up.

lots of local government have already given some advises about people should stay in the areas which you work and it will be better that you do not go home time during the spring festival. Maybe that is a good choice to prepare some game devices.

and each local government is preparing for the festival plans. Some of them already have offered some subsidy plans for the people who don’t go back to their hometown

I heard the news this morning that the ticket order already declined 60%.
One week ago the local new cases just appeared in Hebei or nearby but this week some new cases appeared in other areas of China.
Some of them are even very far from Hebei so I heard Lijiang. I saw the news that Lijiang needs the certification of tests to ensure each person who wants to enter into the city.

I think the government has sufficient plans and sufficient experience to deal with the problem in a short time.
And the vaccine, lots of people will take the vaccine, it is helpful for dealing with the virus.

I don’t believe that actually.

we cannot make some appointments to take the vaccine, at least at this stage the vaccine is totally controlled by the government, it will plan which people need to take a vaccine first.

I think there will be shortages for some goods in specific areas like at the first stage of Hebei but for most areas it wont be appeared again.
For example the masks, we had huge capacity of masks now because last year we don’t have the plan or the strategy for this situation so we don’t have so many masks factories of product lines but now there are many factories or state owner factories set their mask product line already so the capacity is huge and the price is very cheap.

they are all in high risk positions.

The situation is better than last year, we have preparations now. we know what is that and how can we deal with that.

I think more people will work at home than before and based on the virus events some companies and industries will be changed forcibly.
I think some manufacture will consider about using robots seriously because I heard a story that the port in Shanghai is totally automated and just controlled by several people. We can launch it in other places but Europe refuses to accept the skills because China has several famous countries which can be built the port professionally.

My friend in the US showed her mother a short video which contains 2 big TVs, one is to watch the news and on the other one her son and her are playing the Wii so her mom thought that they are crazy and totally messed up.

lots of local government have already given some advises to people , they said you should stay in the areas where you work and it will be better if you do not go home during the spring festival. Maybe that is a good choice to prepare some game devices.

I heard the news this morning that the ticket orders have already declined  by 60%.

One week ago the local new cases just appeared in Hebei or nearby but this week some new cases appeared in other areas of China.
Some of them are even very far from Hebei so I heard about Lijiang. I saw the news that Lijiang needs a test certificate to ensure each person who wants to enter the city is healthy. Lijiang now requires tourists to show a test before entering the city.

And the vaccine is now ready, lots of people will take the vaccine, it is helpful for dealing with the virus.

we cannot make some appointments to take the vaccine, at least at this stage the vaccine is totally controlled by the government / the distribution of the vaccine is in the hands of the government. It will decide who gets the vaccine first. / it will give priority to health workers and essential workers.

I think there will be shortages for some goods in specific areas like at the first stage of Hebei but for most areas it wont be appeared again.
