VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [S]

Pay more attention to the past tense

Write about your trips to Qingdao and how it changed between the first time and the last time you went there.
Remember to use the past tense

I’m into a Japanese cartoon it is name rilakuma. I like it very much and I named from it and I have a girlfriend and her name puma. So that was fun.
I work in Este Lauder as PA assistant so it is a little similar with PR and it is a little tricky that I have 2 bosses. One is in charge of PA one is in charge of PR so I support 2 bosses. It was a changed happened at the end of last year. Before that I had only one boss and she was in charge of both 2 functions and maybe there are too many work and she cannot handle so its separated.
Nowadays I like to take some dancing class, I bought a vip membership in a dancing studio. They have their own style like jazz and hip hop.
In general it is a step for getting out of my comfort zone so I want to try something that I am not good before this I didn’t take to like foreigner people too much so Want to practice more and maybe get some improvement and I can use in my life and work. I like travel, it is useful for travel too.

This year I went Palau or diving. I didn’t know before that but I learned at there its really fun but thanks to that after I am back to work I was too busy. you have to work more time. I took a week off.

There are not too much people around so it’s cozy. I went in February and then to Malaysia in April. I am not feel like it. It is much more poor than Palau from the people, the hotel and the food the restaurants. When I arrived at hotel there was some little boy just rushing to me and grabbed my luggage and they just took it to the front desk directly and then ask for money. It is really hot, a lot of people wen there and took photos and post on friends circles on WeChat. Maybe the reason is food is cheap there, the same with Thailand but worse experience to Thailand I like Thailand.

I’m into a Japanese cartoon it is name is Rilakuma/ it’s called Rilakuma. I liked it very much and I chose/picked my name from it/ I am named after it and I have a female friend/ I have a friend who is a girl and her name is Kuma. So that was fun.
I work in Estee Lauder as a PA assistant so it is a little similar with PR and it is a little tricky because I have 2 bosses. One is in charge of PA one is in charge of PR so I support 2 bosses. The change happened at the end of last year. Before that I had only one boss and she was in charge of both 2 functions. Maybe the workload was too high and it was separated into 2 jobs / maybe she had too much work and in the end a new job/position was created.
Nowadays I like to take some dancing class, I bought a vip membership in a dancing studio. They have their own style like jazz and hip hop.

In general it is a step for getting out of my comfort zone so I want to try something that I am not good at. Before this I didn’t have many chances to talk to some foreign people  so I want to practice more and improve my English. It can also be useful in my life and at work and during trips.
I like to travel/like traveling,
This year I went Palau for diving. I didn’t know before going there/ before the trip/ it was my first time.  but I learned there It was really fun but because of  that after I came back to work I was too busy. I had to work overtime. I took a week off.

There are not too many people around so it’s cozy. I went in February and then to Malaysia in April. I didn’t like it / I didn’t enjoy it. Overall it wasn’t a good experience…..
From my experience , the place felt quite poor and undeveloped. From the hotel . the food… everything gave me/reinforced that feeling
It is much more poor than Palau from, the hotel and the food the restaurants. When I arrived at hotel there were several little boys who just rushed to us and grabbed our luggage and they just took them to the front desk directly and then asked for money/asked for a tip.

It is really hot/popular, a lot of people go there and take photos and post them on WeChat moments and other social media. Maybe the reason is that the food is cheap there. The same with Thailand but I had a worse experience than in Thailand. I like Thailand better.

It is good for the next generation,

They will develop the habit to sort their waste from a young age.
but for our generation it is too late. I know in Canada the garbage is sorted between food waste and normal garbage and the government charges for it so maybe we need to wait a decade or 2 to really benefit from it.

As I know, in Japan it doesn’t  work well.
