My third lesson
Today's lesson did not go was not going ('was not going' means you are still doing the act, but now you are going well. 'Did not go' means the act is finished) very well. My teacher was late for the lesson because there was something wrong with his computer. Also, there were a lot of cuts in his voice got cut off a lot (what you said is grammatically correct, but idiomatically people wouldn't say it like that) during the class because of my poor internet connection. That made me crazy.
I asked him to call me again and I went outside to use my smartphone for the lesson. It was even (to use the word 'even' it means it was good already, 'and now it's even better'. Otherwise, did you mean 'it was even 'worse'?) better this time.
At the beginning, he said "How was your day yesterday? Did you do have anything fun or interesting?" (alternatively, you can say 'Did you have anything fun or interesting happening?') I answered "I don't think I did lots of fun things but I cooked a lot because today's my husband's birthday, so I made a lot of food yesterday." He said "Happy birthday to your husband. Did you make Australian food?".
"Korean food," I said. I usually make and eat Korean food because I like it and so does my husband. Most of Australian food is too oily, greasy and fatty to me but I really enjoy fish and chips, actually. When I talked about that point, that Australian food is greasy and fatty, I used the word 'cheesy'. I thought it has was the same meaning as 'oily' but my teacher corrected me and let me know that I should use 'greasy or fatty' to express the taste of food. It's super useful for me!
Anyway, I cooked '갈비찜' which is made with pork ribs, sweet potatoes and other vegetables. It's boiled or steamed for long with sweet soy sauce source for a long time until it gets tender. It tastes smooth, sweet and nice. It's one of the most popular Korean dishes. I know in some countries, people don't enjoy pork a lot because of t-cup pigs or something and they like beef and chicken better. Australian people like lamb rather than pork. Even in some countries, people don't eat meat because of their religion but Korean people enjoy pork a lot, so lots of Korean dishes are made with pork.
Back to the story, I just wanted to have a home party with him in a comfortable atmosphere, just like we did with our family members and friends in Korea. Where h He was born ins Korea, so I think of course he wants to have a party with Korean food because it can make us feel like we're at home.
After this short conversation, suddenly it (it's best if you specify what 'it' is over here) was cut off and I couldn't hear him. I told him we it would be better if we reschedule for later. He suggested I could reschedule the session on Thursday the same time, but I had something to do then, so I told him I would send him a message after I think about it. He said it's okay and we finished the conversation.
____________________________________________________________________________________Very well done, Jeongmi! Don't let all my corrections make you think that you are not good. In fact it's quite the opposite - your English is so good that I'm picking on the small details. Even native speakers would sometimes make some of the mistakes you did, especially the punctuation. Keep the effort up! :D
