VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Try to talk about Shanghai when your dad was young, compared to now.

My daughter is a lovely girl but not very beautiful. I think the eyes are the most beautiful thing in her face so I want she can keep her good sight because she must wears the glasses that will covers her pretty eyes if she is nearsight. Today there are a lot of things can hurt sight for example iPhone and ipad. I told my daughter again and again shouldn’t gaze at them for long time then she thought her mum is a wordy old woman and didn’t listen to me. After this summer vacation she told me she couldn’t see clearly what teacher’s writing on the blackboard. Yesterday I took her to hospital to check the sights and buy the glasses for her so she became a glasses girl finally.
