VIP Class Notes (JJ)

Speaking exercise

I usually listen to English dialogues. It’s more like life topics. I think it is useful for me. It is easy to understand. I listen to it once every two days. There are a lot of topics on the app. I usually choose, I usually listen to the topic that it can be easily used in life topics, like where can you buy stuff and how do you add Wechat. If I 听不清, I will look at the text. Last week, I went to Putuo Mountain, it is one of the most famous Buddhist temples of China. I went to pick up my cousin from the airport in national holiday.
