Online Class Notes (Jesse)

My friend gave me a ride in the evening on Monday by her motorbike,and I intended on save/deposit some money in the 24 hours self-service bank which is on the way home.But (a few kilometers later I gave up this idea)I gave up this idea after we set off for a short while/after a few miles.Because I suddenly realized that I was wearing a face mask,which was black and covered my whole head and neck just like the one that a robber or thief would wear! So I said to my friend that I didn’t want to scare the people there or make myself look weird,.It was so funny to think about it so we both laughed.
I looked for the English name of the face mask on YouTube that night,then I learned that it is called Gangster Mask,so I think with this name,it’s easier to image how this type of mask looks.Besides this,theses kinds of masks are breathable and can keep you warm in the wind.
By the way,YouTube is a really good dictionary for me with its vivid videos and images. For example,I looked up the the word “弹弓”,but I still didn’t know which is the right one that I want ,though I had read all the interpretations.So I thought why didn’t I put those two words on YouTube and see what’s the difference,and finally I got a obvious answer.
