Online Class Notes (Tibo)

Speaking exercise

Actually I downloaded wechat by a very unusual way.
I used a mobile disk to move the app to the office computer without the permission.

Our official working app is teams but many vendors do not use it so we need wechat to talk with them.
After work they always find on wechat too.

It is a little tricky if you have 2 numbers. If you become friend with a colleague they realize you have 2 numbers and there may have a misunderstanding.
I usually post my life and hide it from my colleagues / I will exclude my colleagues from the being able to see it.

Everything goes well, the busy time is passed -> the busy days are over  

now everything is under my control / now everything is manageable 

In April the audit team will come to our office and they will audit the apps in our IT systems and give us suggestions.
They usually focus on the systems we create for the business part.

We own a lot of info about their details / we have a lot of personal information

They listed at least 40 problems with our system.
They asked us to fix them in a year. We made a lot of efforts to handle those questions like to limit the person who access our system : limit the people who have access to this system  

I don’t know if they will be satisfied but I think we made a hard way and worked with partners to do this -> We had a tough time but we worked with partners to fix all those issues.

I always do these things / I always work on this / I am constantly working on this.

We store all of the logs from our app and those who see this will be logged in our storage -> we will record all the people who get access.

At first when I was very young I thought information was very important. I thought they could use my info to do bad things and I get all the results they made. -> I was afraid they would use my info to commit crimes and I would be be punished for it. / I was afraid they would use my info to scam people on the internet

We lose control of our personal info and our phone number and id … / a lot of our information can be found in the wild / online / It is actually really easy to find someone’s personal information.

Everyone knows about it, I don’t know how they collect them but I have some people who called me and lied about my parents and my work.

Once I thought it was a secret and now I realize I have no secret today and everyone knows my personal info so maybe I don’t care about that right now. / I came to accept that.

I didn’t have many fans on weibo but recently some people fake my weibo and say I lost the password of my old account and send it to all my fans.
I didn’t have many fans on that and they will fake me, I don’t know the purpose.

they have the same name of you -> they have the same name as you

so that I won’t accept them and just not use the app. / refuse to use the app.
Now I don’t care because If I don’t accept I cannot use all the functions.

XHS last year they gave me a report and recorded a lot of info I didn’t care much about in the past.

In the past 2 years we use the same image for our photo / profile picture / avatar and the same name/
We all use the same image and name to avoid our personal info being public on social media.
It became the momo crowd.
I still can see a lot of momos in the groups.
They can speak for their ideas / they can really express what they think. / speak their mind openly.

If I see very scary or frightening news I will post what I think to the public / I will share it together with my thoughts.

they will have much more controversial views with people on the internet / people on the internet tend to be controversial and like to argue.
They will think it is out of the legal and they may send messages yto your media account and insult you  -> they may think they are out of the legal system / they may act without thinking about legal consequences and insult you/

They think the internet has no punishment for what they have done. / they think they will never be found.

Some people like to post insulting content to let people fight in their comments.

our store received a bad comment from a customer.
It was a big thing in the store / it became a big issue and the manager quickly called the customer and tried to calm her down and explained what happened and tried to find a way for her to modify the comment / he tried to convince her to edit her comment.
We have no right to remove them but the customer can edit them.

We have a take out platform, it has a lot of stores we can order from.
Sometimes people write a bad comment and recently I found some merchants will reply to these bad comments in a very funny way to turn it into a funny thing. / they will reply to them in a weird or funny way to soften the impact they have.
