VIP Class Notes 29th March (Jesse)

Remember: speaking is the same as writing. Focus on building sentences using logic and connect them. Slow down and stay calm. No one is waiting for you.

Remember for pronunciation: say each word clearly and spend the same amount of time on each part of each word. “kin der gar ten” = 4 equal parts.

use: which / where / ___er and ____er, exhausted. Talk about your wife and a happy time that you had in the past. Specific past tense. eg. I went to Australia last year

Re: Talking about my son My son was born in 2012,I named him yuheng,and his last name is li. He looks similar to his cuisine who was born two month earlier than him,but he is different to his brother,because he is optimistic ,his brother is introverted.When he was 3years old,we selected a kindergarten which has pretty environments on tongchuan road , then we left laoximen where we had lived for 8years and now we live in xincun road where is not far away from his kindergarten.I still remember that the first day I sent him to the kindergarten,when we came in the classroom he was crying,”dad,I beg you,let me go home,let me go home …” he said,I had never ever seen him crying seriously like that and I also felt heartbroken,but after a week,he stopped crying because he likes his teachers and all of the kids who makes him happy.
He has been studying at the kindergarten for 1year,he loves the kindergarten and he always tells me about what he did learn,what the teacher did say and what he did do, and now he is able to do his homework by himself.

Re: Talking about my son My son was born in 2012, I named him yuheng, and his last name is li. He looks similar to his cousin who was born two months earlier than him, but he is different to his brother, because he is extroverted, but his brother is introverted. When he was 3 years old, we selected a kindergarten which has a pretty environment / surroundings on tongchuan road, then we left laoximen where we had lived for 8 years and now we live in xincun road which is not far away from his kindergarten. I still remember that the first day I sent him to the kindergarten, and when we went into the classroom he was crying, “dad, I beg you, let me go home, let me go home …” he said. I had never ever seen him crying seriously like that and I also felt heartbroken, but after a week, he stopped crying because he likes his teachers and all of the kids who make him happy.
He has been studying at the kindergarten for 1 year, and he loves the kindergarten. He always tells me about what he learned, what the teacher said and what he did, and now he is able to do his homework by himself.
