VIP Class Notes (Tibo)

Speaking exercise

I started last November so 4 months.

I am self taught

I watch videos and some teacher’s video.

I can’t sing  because I always

I just learn 3 or 4 songs.

I like in karaoke drink with some girls if only men I don’t like do that.
They always drinking if women drink they can improve their alcohol tolerance more than men.

Chinese instrument since 10 years ago.
Before in Chia just a little kids learn piano or other instruments because our family economical aren’t very good but in the last 20 years it has improved a lot and more kids can learn music

I went to yu garden which has illuminations  and one new year eve and watched the firework.

In Disneyland there are not many people and I joined every attraction

I went to Disneyland twice.

When I second time to Disneyland I felt it is not very big and only 6 or 7 attractions.
I think men always think more than girls, for example if I play an attraction I always think how about the safety and quality.
I always think I don’t scare the speed but I think maybe there is a problem but girls don’t think that.

if you don’t play a musical instrument for some time you will forget how to play it.

Before POS was better than Fifa but now Fifa overtook POS. Recently I and my friends. Maybe 5 people we together play Fifa in my home and the loser treats the winner dinner.
We are seriously to match.
