VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [S]

Speaking exercise

this is a specific interest for normal people cause my major is design and I have been drawing for maybe 7 years so I real like to make some creative photograph since I was a child, when I was a primary school student. Since I was a young girl I’d like to cut the photos of my relatives. The most interest thing is I cut my fathers head and my head and exchanged the place, and so there was a big head on the childrens body and a little head on the adults body. It was so funny to me and I showed the picture to my all the relatives and they said (pr) it’s so funny and scary. Until recently, I still like make some funny and strange picture and put them to my wechat but my mum said it’s so scared and it would be make other one think i’m a freak so she suggested I shouldn’t do that again.
