VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Writing exercise

We have three days off because of the Dragon Boat Festival. First day in the morning I went to the gym do some training with my personal trainer. After that I had lunch with one of my friends. Then I did some laundry. In the afternoon I took my laptop to the place which I bought it, because I found it was a little noise these days. I guessed there was some problems of the fan. The sales service personnel opened my laptop and cleaned a lot of dust, then it wasn’t noise. After that I bought an authorized version operating system and I asked for him to install it. Because I couldn’t do it by myself. He also helped me install a lot of other softwares that I need to use. It took me 4 hours to wait, but I thought it was useful and necessary, now I can use it safely. Yesterday I use it to arrange my pictures on my phone. I have 22GB photos on my phone and that really was a huge work. I started it at 1pm and until 11pm I still haven’t finished it. I think I will continue to do it tonight.
