VIP Class Notes (Tibo)

review words + grammar

In your opinion are there good addictions?

I want to be in the subway station right now , I need the AC to stay alive.

winning the lottery is a dream.
Maybe they have very lucky -> Maybe they are very lucky  / maybe they have a crazy luck.

All the people I know have never won the lottery -> None of the people I know have won the lottery

I imagined how to use the lottery money if I win.

At first I think I just wanted to win 1m, that’s enough but in SH houses are very expensive so 1m is not enough. It is too little.
I thought maybe I can win more money like 10 or 100m.
That is not enough too/either, when you buy a house you will use/will spend most of it. And if you want to buy a car like a lambo it is not enough, you need to buy another lottery ticket.

Maybe the best way is to get more money, it is a sweet dream.
I buy lottery tickets but I never win, I always lose money.

When you imagine how to use your money that is the happiest time in your life.

Every time I buy a lottery ticket I only use/spend CNY10 and I will buy one everyday for 3 or 4 days but I always lose / I keep buying tickets for 3 or 4 days / I never win and then I stop buying lottery tickets.

After a few months when I want to dream again I will buy lottery tickets again.
with CNY2 you can buy a group number and with CNY10 you can get 5 groups.

Sometimes I think maybe I am stupid, I get cheated.
I bought a lottery ticket and it cost CNY10 but bets don’t receive 10 CNY.
Some people play cards and bet like a job / some people treat card games like a job.

some people always lose money but they always do this everyday. / some people are gambling addicts 
It is very usually in China -> It is usual in China

I don’t know if it counts , I like puzzles.
an easy one takes 1 day.
It also makes your house beautiful / it can be a decoration

legos are more and more expensive.

I just go window shopping

Maybe I do it for 1h and then I take a break.
