VIP Class Notes (Nicholas)

We need to focus on Luna’s grammar and sentence structure. I think we should keep speaking stories shorter and have many of them.

Vocabulary

suspicious (adj) / suspicion (noun) = I think you maybe have a secret.

e.g. I have a suspciion that you are hdiing something from me.

there’s no turning back = you cannot change your mind now. you committed to something. now you must complete it.

immigrants = people that come to a new country

e.g. Eddie has a TV show where he interviews immigrants and their kitchens and what they cook.

frugal / frugality = I don’t like to spend a lot of money, so I find intereting ways to save money.

e.g. Frugal people don’t like to make their furniture messy because they would have to buy another one.

e.g. I am frugal. Frugality (noun) is an important quality.

e.g. In China, frugality is important.

For me I think it depends on the angle of what you are focused on. My perspection is about the health; it’s bad for your health so you can — the reason for change is only for health problem. If you dont have health problem you can keep it you dont need to change I dont think it’s the (de) society problem of fashion or beauty – it’s totally personal thing. The only thing we have to talk about is health.

For me I think this is not your business; you have to respect everyone because they don’t / they must be a reason for what you are seeing. Maybe she used the wrong medical to let her be this moment. So you don’t have rights to say wrong thing about person.

For children, I think this is the mistake from parents because children don’t have anypower to change things — so thinking which is right and which is wrong. So the only way to change the problem is to change their parents. Maybe eat less wheat. I think most children get fat because of the sweet — too much cake, sugar, candy something.

Correction

For me, I think it depends on the angle that you look at it from. From my perspective it’s about health; if it’s bad for your health — this should be the only reason you change. If you don’t have a health problem /health problems you can keep it, you don’t need to change. I don’t think it’s society’s problem of fashion or beauty — it’s totally a personal thing. The only thing we have to talk about is health.

For me, I don’t think it’s anyone’s business. You should respect everyone. Tere must be a reason behind what you’re seeing. Maybe she used the wrong medicine for her to get to this point. So you don’t have the right to say poor things about this person.

When it comes to children, they do not have the power/capacity to make decisions for themselves. This is the parent’s job. So the only way to change the problem is to change their parents. Maybe eat less wheat. I think most children get fat/become fat because of sweets [sugary foods]. Too much cake, sugar, candy or something.

The first time Eddie Huang’s Florida childhood was memorialized on television, the results were mixed. ABC’s “Fresh Off the Boat,” based on his memoir of growing up Taiwanese-American in Orlando, Fla., was a critical and commercial success. Mr. Huang wrote and said unkind things about the show, however, and left his role as its off-camera narrator after one season.

Now he gets a do-over. He has his own television show, the food-and-travel series “Huang’s World” beginning Thursday night on Viceland, and to promote it, a preview episode shot in Orlando has been onlinefor a week. It’s definitely R-rated — language, drug use, violence to farm animals — and it never mentions the ABC show. (All the lawyers can exhale.) But in spirit, they’re not far apart.

Mr. Huang’s public pose is based on ego, attitude and hip-hop-flavored rebelliousness, but when he makes his annual trip home for Chinese New Year in “Huang’s World,” he’s largely the picture of filial piety. His father, Louis, who’s not exactly portrayed as a model parent in the memoir, is an amiable and supportive dad onscreen. His mother, Jessica, is sharp and funny, like the character Constance Wu has popularized in “Fresh Off the Boat.” Mr. Huang dives into the New Year preparations, smoking one duck while his mom fries another.

When I was a child my father often hit me so I think this is the way but I don’t do that for my child in the future I think its not the right way. You have to let him or her discpline themself. This is the point. To find a way, a more peace way.

When I was a child my father often hit me, so I just think this is how things were done back then. But I don’t want to do that to my child in the future. I don’t think it’s the right way. You have to let him or her discipline themselves. This is the point. To find a more peaceful way.
