VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

If you can’t remember the words, write them / write a story using them. Next class: speak and use the words talking about your house.

The new year’s coming soon, colleagues around me always chat with me about travelling. Because during the new year, we will have a long holiday which is longer than other companies. So we can go travelling to any country which we prefer to. Some colleagues want to take their parents and children to the countries which have good views. Because taking families outside spends more time and energy than a couple’s travelling. During the comfortable and interesting journey, children can enrich their visual field, parents can enjoy the moment with their families. Since my Iast journey to Japan, it has been six months. Although I have no idea about which country to travel right now, I expect my next journey will be different and meaningful.

The new year’s coming soon and colleagues around me always chat with me about travelling because during the new year, we will have a long holiday which is longer than other companies. So we can go travelling to any country we prefer / that we prefer. Some colleagues want to take their parents and children to the countries which have good weather and environment / scenery because taking a family outside takes more time and energy than a couple does. During the comfortable and interesting journey, children can enrich their visual field, and parents can enjoy the moment with their families. Since my last journey to Japan, it has been six months. Although I have no idea about which country to travel to right now, I expect my next journey will be different and meaningful.
