Original –

After the day before yesterday night lesson, I was straightening my bag while I was taking out mobile phone. I found all of lessons on SE webside were unavailable. What a  disappointing for me. However, It’s not what you think it will be. I can’t tell you how exciting I am for receiving Judy’s message that telling  me 5o’clock lesson was empty.People always say that it is too late. However, in fact, now is the best appropriate time. For ourselves who really want to seek for something, every period of life is younger and timely. You never guess what will happen in next second. Maybe it is good or maybe it is not. Whatever possible you have, it is a important part in your life.

Correction

After the lesson I had the day before yesterday, I was getting ready to leave, while I was taking out my mobile phone. I saw that all of the lessons on SE website were unavailable. What a  disappointment for me. However, It’s not what you think it will be. I can’t tell you how excited I was to receive Judy’s message, telling  me that a 5 o’clock lesson was open. People always say that it is too late. However, in fact, now is the most appropriate time. For those of us who really want something, every moment in life is fleeting. You can never guess what will happen the next second. Maybe it will be good or maybe it will not. Whatever chance you have, it is an important part of your life.
