Online Class Notes (Tibo)

Someone told me until yesterday they give me some works just like the translation for Spanish.

different people send messages to me and send products to me.
They will ask some help from me or give me some work they don’t want to do that.

So many emails I watched and I can’t understand what they want or what they meaning. But now I haven’t started to do something

sometimes I order I will order Subway sandwiches for lunch.

they always make headlines with their marketing

they have big discounts.

french fries from BK.
I always order chips only.
I like chicken wings from McDonalds and the chicken from KFC

I am not really like that -> I don’t really like pizza.

They should change the mouse for something else.

I saw some kids celebrated their birthday at McDonalds.
They really like to celebrate there, they like fried food and ice cream 
it is really like a tv show, I would believe it.

I think there are so many reality tv shows. And they air on the weekend.
I feel all the love tv shows will are fake / staged
I always watch tv shows like about some rappers. Although I know they are staged but they will have some videos or scenes to fight and argue with other rappers.
He really likes this rapper so if this show is on air he always wants o watch it with me.
We watch the show and I ask him “who is he?”

It is not very popular, it is a small group.  / it is a niche
We watch so many shows but every show always those guys -> you always see the same people in all the tv shows

Now I know some of them.

There are fights between different cities. If they from Changsha and Sichuan or Chengdu and they have their names and they always have fights.

A few years ago we had pop music, I think it was very good.
Now maybe I don’t understand the young people.
The most popular groups I don’t think they can sing.
It is just a group of dancers and they all look the same
They don’t want to make music they just want to move their body

I heard a news, a singer of HK she made an AI song use her voice but I haven’t listened to it yet . I saw some comments.
