F2F Class Notes (JJ)

Speaking exercise

Here people don’t have the freedom as other countries. You don’t heard the plan. I sometimes listen for Obama. Their vote counts more. When we got to the 3rd floor, they get out of the elevator. I get out too, I see the mother tell to his husband. I told  myself, black people are in this case a lot of times. It’s very blessant.

Revised:

Here people don’t have the freedom as they do in other countries. You don’t hear the plan. I sometimes listen for Obama. I follow his Instagram. Their vote weighs more/has more weight. I am very open to new ideas/concepts. (…) they got out of the elevator. I got out, I saw the mother say to her husband (…) black people are in this situation a lot of times. It’s very hurtful.
