Grammar
“Neither” is used like “too” but in a negative sentence.
Ex. I don’t like the rain! Me neither!
To show frequency, we can use “once” or “twice,” but if the number is more than two times we should say “three times,” “four times,” etc.
Its vs it’s
It’s = it is
Its = belonging to it

Workaholic (werk-o-HALL-ick)
Sunny Day (Make sure to pronounce all three syllables, it is different than “Sunday”)
Etc. OR Et cetera (et-CET-ra)

Very (make sure to pronounce the “V”)
Sellers (SELL-urz)
Original:
I really like cats, I often see cats’ pictures online. If I see a cat just stay a place and doing nothing, that will be say it is thinking about it’s life. If I also have a little free time, I think about my life too. Recently I was very busy, because I think I don’t have much time to waste. I decided to learn English ten years ago but until now I couldn’t speak it very well. Luckily, I realized my problem and I’m doing something for it. I think about my life because I read an article about life several days ago. The article’s title is ” think about you will be after five years “. This article really shocked me and gave me some elicitation. It told us a woman’s goal, the woman imagine a picture about herself, after fives she will wear, what’s the hair style, what car she drive, annual income, where, do what and with who. After fives years, she is the really person she has imagined. It’s an inspiring story. I need to learn something from it.

If I also have a little free time, I think about my life, too. Recently I was very busy, because I think I don’t have much time to waste. I decided to learn English ten years ago but until now I couldn’t speak it very well. Luckily, I realized my problem and I’m doing something about it. I think about my life because I read an article about life several days ago. The article’s title is “Think about Who You’ll Be in Five Years.” This article really shocked me and made me curious. It told us a woman’s goal, the woman imagined a picture of herself, what she will wear after five years, what her hair style will be, what car she will drive, her annual income, what she will be doing and who she will be doing it with. After five years, she is the real person she has imagined. It’s an inspiring story. I need to learn something from it.
