VIP Class Notes (Jesse)

Use the vocab from today in some writing about exercising.

The terrible May finally passed. My team and I held 7 whisky blind tasting semi-final in 7 cities— Beijing, Chengdu, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai.The Xiamen city competition was cancelled because of the small number of participants. The 4 whisky lovers from Xiamen took part in the Shanghai competition in May 28th. There were many awesome people who could guess all 10 brands of whisky in a short time, including a female competitor.They will be able to participate in the annual Finals held at the WHISKY L! EXPO in Shanghai in mid August, that also means I’m going to be busy again.In the past May, I also went to Tokyo to attend the international barshow and whisky expo. I think I have too much to learn and to experience. At the end of May, I began to wear braces,also began to do the gym fitness. These two things both bring me pain and make me happy. The busy May is going to finally come to an end, and the busier June is yet to begin!
