We had a very interesting lesson discussing a book which I had previously wanted to read. I think I will enjoy our lessons together greatly.

Bono masters a foundational level of English and he is willing to make improvement. An enjoyable one.

This was a good first lesson. Bono has a good passive understanding of English but will no doubt improve his fluency quickly.

Bono works hard in taking time to relearn his pronunciation. Good job Bono!

    The right to access Netflix is not easy Thanks recently deployed personal V2Ray proxy service,  I would spend more time to explore network service beyond China GFW.  The direct change according to personal time recording was I watched more YouTube video, and to some extent YouTube was no more enough for me, I needed a better quality video content platform. The default choice is Netflix. There is a high quality comprehensive Netflix account setup tutorial article posted on “Digital immigrant” website for Chinese netizen. I only record my personal experience in the following. I have registered a Singapore area account.  Domestic Visa credit card is ok for the purchase process and don’t need a Singapore Mobile number to identity verification.  Accessing through a personal Hongkong proxy node, Netflix remind me error message every time, fortunately accessing throng a Japan proxy node is flawless. The monthly fee for 1080P streaming is SGD13.98(RMB 70), there is a 720P quality and mobile limited plan only cost SGD8.98 (RMB 45). After the registered account and accessible network proxy, the next thing is I would watch video on my iPad. Netflix haven’t release their iOS APP on Chinese APP Store and I always regret for not have migrated my Apple ID to other region. Current App Store have brought me lots of inconvenient and now is the time for change. I first confirmed iOS will keep downloaded Apps even after you switched to a new Apple ID. You can get a new Apple ID by accessing appleid. apple.com. When I login the new ID on my iPad, the process is not smooth. Maybe I should blame the GFW, maybe the region policy of Apple Inc. After many times of trial and error, I finally login my iPad using the new Apple ID.  Here is some tip: 1. Disable the location service. 2. Using global proxy as soon as the WIFI network connected. 3. No credit card needed, but you needed a US mobile number. I purchased a virtual mobile number for the process, but there was no SMS verification sent me by Apple. The content library and experience both up to my expectation. And there is high quality English subtitle existed for almost every title! I was so exciting, marked more than dozens of movies and TV series to my list.   I was never a Korea TV serials fans. To my surprise, the first TV serial I watch on Netflix is a Korea one. “Crash Landing on You”, my wife enjoy leading actors and their style. I like many satire scenes in the play and they attack both the money worship in South Korea and the bureaucracy in North Kore

    Thanks for your generous and nice to meet you!

    Those days I have heard lots of news about the 2020 US presidential election. It is an opportunity for me to learn more about US society. I noticed a term called "swing state" and Ohio is one of them.

    Cloud you tell me from your personal observation and experience why Ohio is a swing state?

    Reading Russian classic literature is a tradition for Chinese intellectual. And there is a widely accepted opinion is the deepest plight and humanity of human-being is better depicting in Russian literature than in Chinese literature.

    I think one day I will read those great writer you mentioned, maybe when my age older or when I have the chance to know one Russian friend.

    Nowadays, the most interested kind of books beside my professional field is those nonfiction works about sociology and anthropology. I have just finished a book called "The Buried: An Archaeology of the Egyptian Revolution" written by Petter Hessler.

    In my humble opinion, It's the time for change.

    I have more serious depression experience few years ago. To self help, I have read some books about psychology and depression. One of key knowledge beside the importance of daily routinely work out is: The anxiety is the signal of existence.

    You must find what is existence or meaning for you and make a (new) choice and take the consequence for your choice.

    This is the time.

    Thanks for your encouragement. People in China are bearing the largest scale quarantine in human history now. Life is hard in every aspects. Although recent days the situation have been better ( the daily confirmed case number no more going up , the cured patient cased number is increasing ) in China, the situation beyond China seems worse day by day.

    One day the disaster will be controlled in global, but I pessimistic expect the price will very high and deep.

    For example in China, in the name of anti coronavirus "war" the freedom of civil society and online speech have both been greatly declined and a higher degree of security preference than freedom have been set in a nation wild social mentality scale. It will not only make life harder for a few Chinese liberal dissidents but also endangering the whole world.

    All of those good qualities your listed certainly will be a great momentum for your success. But I think large probability the success will be outside world oriented success. Finally, we may pray for another kind of success, at that moment may be some other essentials will come to the pivotal of mind.

    Be quarantined at home so long time make me crazy. I can't bear one more moment.

    As a personal countermeasure, I have set up a new home made VPN system for crossing GFW, So I can post message here (italki international site). A little bit extra freedom online make me happy at a offline freedom degenerating time.

    The meaning or connotation of FUTURE lies in uncertainty. So "see your future" equal to ruin your future, I think it's a crim. Do your best to fight the impulsion of crim.
