Online Class Notes (Tibo)

it’s depends -> it depends 

it depends if any friends invite me.

I feel for young people we still enjoy the party and we like going out to have dinner and drinking alcohol can make us happy.

Maybe it is a little bit stressful. It comes from our job. / Maybe we live stressful lives due to our jobs

I heard the queen from news. -> I heard about the queen from the news / on the news

Yesterday I watched a video, It said the queen passed away will shaped the politics issues in the UK and maybe Ireland wants to break. -> it said the queen’s passing/death will shape the political issues in the UK and maybe Ireland will want to become independent.

And also question things.. Americans show their sadness in public social networking but never met the queen before and never cared about her news.

-> It feels strange, Americans show their sadness/express/give/show their sympathy on public social media but never met the queen before and never cared about her.

It can be divided into the official ones and some social media buzz from a few people.

official media show sadness because the queen always had a good reputation in the public and for those unofficial media maybe political KOL express different opinions and it is mostly an analysis of the politics in the UK. / they mostly analyze politics in the UK

I don’t have any special opinion about this, she is far away from my life and I just think if they are right or not and what will happen in the UK. / I just wonder if their analysis is right / I wonder if they predict the UK’s future accurately.

There are also gossips about the queen.

Some KOLs said in public this marriage is very good and they never had fights/arguments but privately he had many girlfriends / he had mistresses/lovers  maybe because his wife is the queen so he cannot get a divorce / he often cheated on her

We don’t know the truth about this news.
Maybe this is made by some American politicians or his competitors -> maybe he was framed by his competitors.

Maybe because in advertising companies there are a lot of LGBTs they have some common values so they maybe have more than one bf or gf / they sleep around a lot / they are polygamous

and that is where gossips are from.  / that is where gossips originate

In big cities those people are more open and there is another reason in those big companies those people seek/ are looking for those professional opportunities / they want to advance their career no matter how.
They are stressed and need opportunities.
Maybe they do some exchange. / maybe they exchange sexual favors for promotions

They cannot open because some policies but they have another method to open, maybe they open those customers privately.
Those pubs they contact these customers in wechat groups and tell them we can move to another place to have an underground party.

I think it is ok but I prefer normal clubs. In the underground clubs there are some very strange people . They look high (on drugs).
It is usually far away from the city center, in the suburb.

The place I went to last Saturday is a car club and a there were a lot of cars stopping  there.
There was also a bartender and a DJ. They even had an extremely big swimming pool.
The party went from 2pm till 12. / the party started at 2pm and ended at 12 / midnight.

A very famous club in SH was also closed during the lockdown.
