F2F Class Notes (Tibo)

They are very relaxed they have nothing to worry or a lot of pressure.
sometimes they are so lazy they don’t care so much about their life.
But my friends also they like sleeping they also can sleep a lot.

You sleep a lot can make you more younger. You give your body enough rest and all the systems can recover so maybe look younger than other people.

it’s depends, sometimes I just slept about 6h but sometimes I just sleep 8h but not exceed 8hs.
I think sleep a lot is useless. If you die you can sleep forever so you can use some time to do useful things.

In the past I don’t like sleep I think I have more time to do useful things but I found I am not energy like before so I usually feel very tired but I also exercise and coffee and I want to make myself energetic everyday but I found it is not like before.

it is nothing can affect you.

It is a good thing because you are powerful enough, you are not affected a lot like before because when you are younger you may make angry at a little issue but then it is just that is ok, I can forget this.

Chinese grandpas and grandmas they care a lot about the next generation but I have no ideas about foreign grandpas.
When I will become grandma I will have the same feeling, I don’t care so much because our generation is so selfish than the last generation so it totally depends on the situation you grow up.

appearance in society it is very seriously in China. It is kind of people have their unique look because they have different taste you don’t know what I like or she likes what but nowadays the trend they define one beauty is double eyelid and your thick lips or a V shaped face…

Beauty companies they lead to it, maybe it is the main force.
