VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Recently, I have coffee instead of tea and water, because it is good for me. I haven’t gone to class for a long time, so Jess told me I should keep it twice a week. I have been to Thailand in July, and that was a family trip. We went to Anatara’ THAI restaurant for dinner, when we are at Phuket. Lucas learned to order by himself. I am fix my other apartment, so I am without money recently. hhhh…. I was waiting for an interview call this week, but it didn’t come. Jess wrote about invention speech for Lucas, and he won the prize for this. I think learn English haven’t instructions, only through hard is the best way, so I should go to class often. I want to watch YAN XI introduction right now,and have you seen it?
