Online Class Notes (Tibo)

Speaking exercise

all the things at the first time I have the passion, and positive to do these things but the time pass or after one week or 2 weeks I will say let’s rest today.

it is very close on walk maybe just 5 mins

I go to the gym alone because I have to do the exercises with my personal trainer.
It depends on my emotions
At first I went to the gym with some friends and someday they said I don’t want to go and others said me too.
for travels I like with friends or a group. If you go to the modern city or country you will see safety but if you want to do some sport like climb mountain or ski or went to the ocean if you are lonely it is a little dangerous.

Maybe a few years the yoga is the most popular for someone but recently they really like to do dancing but some dance studios is very popular

I prefer to do things alone for most things

I prefer the games is like you have to do some things you will get some quests. you have to finish it and get gold.
I really hate some taks you have to find someone and together to finish the task.

I prefer this kind of game and work.

In some big projects you have to work in a group but I think I can do this by myself ok I will finish this.
If you help someone to do well or someone will give you some files is very good it is impossible. It is so hard. If I don’t have the hpeful from someone I don’t get disappointed

You can only play this with the computer but today you can just use your phone.
