VIP Class Notes (Mike)

Write about CNY in your childhood.

I have a few friends that I have known for many years. I never seriously considered their characteristics and behaviors until I wrote this essay. I think one of them is a very interesting person after I reviewed our daily dealings.

She is the most unpunctual person I have ever met, for example, we agreed to have lunch at 12 o’clock in a restaurant, when everyone was there but her, she would keep telling everyone in the WeChat group that she was already in the elevator and would be at the restaurant soon, while in reality she usually arrives in half an hour to hours. She is terrified of cats, but only of non-named breeds, which are ordinary cats. She can be gullible by compliments, like buying things she doesn’t need or doesn’t suit her because of compliments from mall sales.

In my opinion, she is a woman who is very energetic, positive, and has a good sense of humor.

She likes cats with a specific breed. She can be easily deceived by fancy words, especially when it comes to buying things she doesn’t need or doesn’t suit her because of compliments from mall sales.

In my opinion, she is a woman who is very energetic, positive, and has a good sense of humor.
