F2F Class Notes 05 May (Eddie)

NB: Below is Haley’s text which Angelina requested a copy of.

I didn’t come here to study English about one week, I felt very guilty. Plus, we had a meeting last week, everybody’s English are vey fluent, so I am looking forward to speaking English fluently, I will work hard in learning English and in the hope that I also can speak English fluently at the end of year.

Last weekend, I went to the Expo park, there were many people in there. You needed to queue for a long time whatever you did, such as having a meal, buying a cold drink, or going to the toilet. This phenomenon is very normal in the public holiday and at public place but it is hard to bear and solve.

I didn’t come here to study English about one week, which made me feel a bit guilty. We had had a meetingthe week before during which everybody’s English was very fluent. I am very keen on speaking English fluently, which means (that) I should be working on it as often as I can if i want to reach my goal of being fluent by the end of the year. 

Last weekend, I went to the Expo Park and it was absolutely packed with people. (there were many people there.) I had to queue for ages for whatever I wanted to do, like getting food (having a meal), buying a cold drink, or going to the toilet. This happens all the time during public holidays and it is hard to deal with and there seems to be no solution in sight. (phenomenon is very normal during public holidays at public place but it is hard to bear and solve.)

Crowds are a common occurrence at all tourist venues/sites during the holidays, which can put a damp on enjoying a location such as the Great Wall.
