I want to talk about Gu Ailing, who’s a famous athlete. She’s good at skiing. As we all know, Gu Ailing is a foreigner who can speak Chinese very well -> mom Chinese, study and work -> born in America but her family all can speak Chinese -> When she grew up in America, she can speak Chinese with her parents and friends and study English in school. I feel so jealous about that because I think ppl around me do not speak Eng often. Although I started learning -> practice more do better

I want to talk about one exp the bad service -> last week I want to have hotpot with my parents -> made appt online, told the staff I want to have hotpot that evening at 7 and the staff said yes -> when I went to the restaurant with my parents, the staff told us we can’t make an appt online, we just can wait -> so I feel very angry with that so it waste our time and we asked … and the staff said … -> I discussed with my parents so we finally decide to change another restaurant. -> we will never choose this restaurant again.

R2: human issues are also important, but protecting nature = protecting our home
