Kim's notebook entry: nice weekend

Last week, because of the business trip, I asked for leave from my class. I felt little some regret for it (1).
All of us in class think that after we having made the decision to come here and paid pay the expensive tuition, we must let it worthy make it worth it. So, if some one was does not show up, the next time ,when we met see him, we will say :"Hey ,you are sinking wasting money"(2). It can encourage ourselves us and remember it in heart, remind us of what we're doing.

Today in listenning class, I got a chance to practise dialogue with one a classmate. It was about a "personal survey." We asked questions like: do "Are you an agreesive person?" and "Do you think that you are a selffish person?" and some others like this that, then talked freely. It's funny (3), as we don't know each other well even we have after having been in this class for around 1  a years. So We are were a  little nervous about this "play' (as we were requested to stand in front of the other students), but anyway, teacher wong [the teacher/Mr. Wong/Professor Wong](4) gave us good remarks, so I felt happy.

Had a nice weekend. Tomorrow is a new day... Come on Bring it!!!

Good job! Just a few things:
(1) "I felt little regret [for it]" is a correct English sentence. However, it means, "I did not regret it very much."
(2) Here, it also sounds good to say, "You're throwing money away."
(3) I think the more appropriate word in this sentence is the word "fun." Be careful of the use of the word "funny." "Funny" describes something that makes you laugh. I know that "funny" is often translated as "很有趣," but it's closer to "很好笑“ in its meaning. If somethign makes you laugh, "it's funny" is the most appropriate phrase. If it doesn't make you laugh, it's best translated as "it's really interesting" or "it's fun."
(4) While I can't speak for every part of the former British Empire, native American English speakers never say "teacher [name]." If a teacher has a PhD, he is Dr. [Name]. If he is a professor, he is Professor [Name]. If he doesn't have a PhD or isn't a professor at a university, he is Mr. [Name]. While it is inefficient, it's common for us to say something like the following: "Mr. Wong, the teacher, gave us very good marks." OR "The teacher, Mr. Wong, gave us very good marks."

Keep working hard. You're doing very well!
