VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [S+R]

Speaking exercise

we prepared during the June

there wasn’t an official announcement for downsize

We have something similar with the medal but maybe a flag.
When you are shopping and you found a thief stole someone’s money and help the police they will give you a red flag and say you are a hero and a day and what you did and give it to you. you can put it in your home to show you are a good man
if you make some a scientific discovery maybe it will be national level praise. Maybe you will be on national TV.

I don’t know how the government raises these funds. Based on what I know and what the Chinese government is doing they will raise money from some punishment
before covid if you catch by the policeman you pay 20 but now it is 50.
If they gather money this way it is not a good thing.
I hope these recovery funds will actually benefit the citizens.

this money cant help the citizens to solve this problem the virus is still going to spread and the situation didn’t improve 
It is a way of capitalism to show they care about the people.

for the long term wise

if you make some a scientific discovery maybe it will be national level praise. Maybe you will be on national TV.

I don’t know how the government raises these funds. Based on what I know and what the Chinese government is doing they will raise money from fines
before covid if you catch by the policeman you pay 20 but now it is 50.
If they gather money this way it is not a good thing.
I hope these recovery funds will actually benefit the citizens.

this money can’t help the citizens to solve this problem the virus is still going to spread and the situation didn’t improve 
It is a capitalist way to show they care about the people.
I think the US is crazy, US citizens yell at the public to say I don’t want to wear the mask / they refuse openly to wear the mask / they strongly voice their opposition to the mask.

long term wise it doesn’t work / for the long term it won’t work
