Speaking exercise

It is not good but it is better than Christmas day.
I got the bad cough and I feel the needles in my throat.

It is very hard to eat something.

But I didn’t have the high fever.

Everyone got sick from covid.

The last 2 weeks everyone worked at the office.

Most of us we work at home.

These days I went to office.

the first thing is I want to improve my English and second thing I decided to go to the gym.
And the third thing I want to learn accountancy.
Some rules of them or the different taxes. Maybe this year I want to learn some new things.
There are online lessons for free so I can see that and learn that by myself.

I want to learn something about accountancy to avoid someone cheat me.

I heard the news in the future we have to pay more and more taxes.

I really liked working from home.
I think that is ok, I really like that but I can’t say that to my boss or to the other managers because I think every owners they like employees stay at office.

And when covid broke out thanks god I got Covid.

I heard the company of my friend they agree for employees to work from home until February  / they allow employees to work from home until February.

The worst time of this year is I can’t travel to the other countries or places.
I planned to go to Xinjiang in August or October at that time Xinjiang and Xizang they locked down.

The last month, most people got the covid and new year and holidays I saw so many friends they go to Harbin to ski.

I saw someone post photos. They got the covid and they on holidays too.
If you don’t Covid you have to stay at home to avoid get the covid but if you got the covid I can go everywhere.

I heard a real news about this, She is a girl and born in 1999.
She got the covid and she recovered so she played badminton and the other day she died so the reason…

I don’t know if this the real reason if you recover you can’t do more exercise but my gym has closed until February.
