Online Class Notes (Jesse) [30]

Focus on speaking rather than writing correction

Friday September，2022

Last night I was sleepless so I got up at 10 o’clock this morning.
I was in a hurry to finish morning wash because I had to go downstairs to pack lunch boxes. There are always so many people waiting in line at lunch time. I don’t waste time to wait for.

In the afternoon I went to my daughter’s homestay.
Since independent life away from parents，
my daughter has become such a grown up and so thoughtful. I am very proud of her.
I usually swim after supper every day.
of course, so is today.

Saturday September， 2022

It rained all day in Singapore today, and I always like rainy days.
There was a private skating class in the morning, but I canceled it.

There are so many amazing things happened today so that I’m a little overwhelmed.
One is about my ex-boyfriend suddenly sent me a message. We were not happy when we were separated, so he sent a message to me, which made me disgusted. The other thing is something to be happy. I have always want to find a good job in Singapore. Today, a friend recommended me to work in his friend’s company, so I have been writing my resume from afternoon to evening. Although I know the chances of success were slim, I was glad that at least I had a chance. And be thankful for this friend.

Sunday September, 2022

Today, it rainy in Singapore because of the weather I stayed at home all the day.

I was listening and reading English exercises in the morning. I have made a large quantities of mistakes in making a sentence. I need to work harder. In order to improve English level, I use WeChat to communicate with friends in Singapore as much as possible in English.

I didn’t go to swimming today because of the weather, so I did yoga at home.
A friend recommended me a TV play “Ghost Blows the Lamp”, the plot is very wonderful. But it takes a lot of time, so I am very restrained.
