Homework

Review the conditional and make some sentences for each form.

We are very busy these days, we are work until this Sunday.
Saturday night, I need keep work until the next morning. Because we should deploy the system during the night.
Im only responsible for part of this project, only the data.

I have received a letter from Georgia tech. the program they said the result might come out in mid may.
after I submit the application I check some discuss groups, someone put their criteria on the internet and I compare them to me. I find it is very difficult to received by this program. They have higher GPA than me and long related working experience than me.

When I searched the keyword of vpn in the current App Store I can’t find the result, so if I can search in another location App Store it might work.

I subscribed for the whole year / I took a 1 year plan

I think the gvt wants to control what we are thinking but I want to know more about the world no matter its good or bad, I want to get enough info and make my decision. This is good or not. But if the gvt control the gate instead of you I feel lack of freedom.

The gvt set a restrict that the data collect in China can’t go abroad. so for exemple we have some customer data in our compamy and we want to rent a high quality server to store this info but we can’t find the server vendor in China so we can only find some vendors in HK or Macao and we set a kind of VPN between HK and china. That is kind of a way to jump the wall.
I heard a company like Microsoft they set their company’s vpn server in SGP but recently Chinese GVT has this meeting and some function of their inner system were blocked because of the ports being restricted.


We are very busy these days, we are/will be working until this Sunday.
On Saturday night, I will need to keep working until the next morning/for the whole night. Because we need/have to deploy the system during the night.
I’m only responsible for part of this project, only the data related part.

I have received a letter from Georgia tech. the program said the results might come out/be released/be sent to us (in) mid may.
after I submitted the application I checked some forums, some people/some applicants put/wrote/shared their information/academic profile on the internet and I compared myself/my profile to them/to theirs. I found that/realized / it came to me that it is very difficult to be received by this University / in this program. They have higher GPA than me and longer related working experience (than me.)

When I searched the keyword: vpn in my current App Store I couldn’t find the result, so I thought  if I could search in another county’s App Store it might work and it did.

I can’t bear not having google / this restriction
I subscribed for the whole year / I took a 1 year plan

I think the gvt wants to control what we are thinking/our mindset but I want to know more about the world no matter if it’s good or bad, I want to get enough info to make up my mind / to realize things on my own. Decide if something is good or not. But if the gvt controls the access to information (internet)  I feel it is a/it represents a lack of freedom.

The gvt sets a restriction on the data collected in China, it can’t go abroad. so for example we have some customer data in our company and we want to rent a high quality server to store this info but we can’t find a server vendor in China so we can only find some vendors in HK or Macao and we set a kind of VPN between HK and China. That is one way to jump over the great firewall.
I heard in a company like Microsoft they set their company’s vpn server in SGP but recently the Chinese GVT has this meeting and some function of their inner system were blocked because of the ports being restricted.
