Hi Yang, good to meet you today. It was interesting to speak with you and hear about your life. Just some points to consider for improving your English. I think you need to slow down when your speaking, try to speak clearer and slower. And you need to work on your pronunciation, as it was sometimes difficult to understand what word you were trying to say. Also I think you got confused, and mixed up the word you were trying to say, with another similar word, just something to watch out for in the future. On the positive side, you are brimming with confidence and enthusiasm, which I think is half the battle, when trying to master another language. And your English level is pretty good, and your vocabulary is of a good standard. So just more practice, and paying attention to the points I mentioned to take you to the next level. Hope to see you again in the near future, take care and best wishes, Marty

    我<s>新的</s>的新老板

    今天我见了我的新销售经理。他以前是一个<s>军队</s>军人（I suppose he was a soldier, not a troop），可是他对我说他的<s>智慧</s>( 智慧 means intelligence in Chinese，What were you trying to say here?)是支持销售员<s>。</s>,教他们怎么做。我认为这样<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">的</s>挺好(Normally, the native speaker say 挺好的 instead using 挺好，but it‘s acceptable)。我只希望他不要太严肃。我觉得有时候军队的人就是这样的。

    他在太阳<s>能远</s>能源的工业有很多经验。他<s>在</s>的房子上甚至有<s>太阳能原</s>太阳能板（You mean solar cell ？it should be 太阳能板）。我觉得这是一个<s>喜兆</s>好事（In many situations，喜兆 means that somebody's pregnant, and it is a 喜兆）。<s>因为</s>因此我认为这样：假如他自己也买的话，那就是真<s>的</s>好的<s>常品</s>产品。

    我<s>已经</s>知道太阳能<s>原</s>板是好的<s>常品</s>产品，可是<s>连</s>我<s>都</s>知道我的销售能力不是那么好。所以我受到了<s>刺激</s>激励（the meaning between 刺激and激励 is quite similar，but if you use 刺激 here，a native speaker will thing you might go mad）。现在我可以从好的老师学习怎么做<s>买卖</s>生意（we do not use 买卖 anymore，the expression was much common in the past）

    social media and narcissism Are you following celebrities on social media? You think that you know the colour of their hair, you know their habits and you know all of their habits like the back of your hand. But are those things true? Or are the people real? It is time to re-think about it. Since posting things on the internet has been becoming a sound business, thousands of beautiful faces have flooded into digital platforms and have started their own business by selling their well-designed fake life on YouTube or Instagram. Having health meals in 5-star hotels, jogging in tourist attractions, or doing yoga with luxurious body coaches, those kinds of gorgeous photos on Instagram mislead people believe that the day-to-day life should be lived like that. It is not reality, and it is just a cover of inequality among the society. Moreover, the shallow phenomenon has increased the narcissism in the younger generations. Like the growing number with obesity, our egos are getting fat. Every time when people post something on social media, many of them expect to get mountains of like from friends or followers. You might check your personal account in every 5 minutes until you see the notifications flash up on your phone.

    认真学习<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">的</s>指南

    学习的时候有很多障碍，比如玩游戏，跟朋友交流，看instagram， 等等。怎么会重点学习呢？
    首先，在学习<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">得</s>以前找一个舒服地地方。别忘记拿（native speakers are more likely to say 放一杯书，but it is ok）一杯水放在你的旁边。

    最后，组织手机，电脑，和别的分散注意力的东西。这个办法一点难<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">做</s>，但是在手机上有很多应用程式<s>会</s>可以帮助安排时间。

    今天的天气非好，很多人去外面玩，很多小孩很开心地跑来跑去，小鸟飞来飞去，哇，真的好好美的景色唷！上午我做了一个蛋糕，昨晚我就想要吃它们，可是需要等一下，让它们降温下来。

    English writing practice for Wednesday 16th April Today, a friend has published an article on a website, talking about his day-to-day life under the threat of the pandemic and racism in New Zealand. He shared the personal experiences in the article that suggested racism has already existed in society for a long time, and as a social issue, the pandemic made the situation even worse for the disadvantaged minority groups. In the beginning, the spread of the virus seemed to be labelled about Chinese, and many media and the local authorities used Chinese flu as the name of the virus reminding people to raise concerns about the development of the novel deadly bug. But soon the name of the virus has led to massive racist attacks on Chinese people.

    English writing practice for Tuesday 14th April I broke a tooth tonight. Initially, today was a wonderful day. At the daytime, I finished all the work on my to-do list, it was the first time since I have started to work from home. Then I went to the dance studio. After the intensive training last week, I felt my body was full of energy, and I am ready to move into the next level. After that, I had a fascinating supper with friends in a good bar. We planned a lot of things, such as taking a holiday in Thailand while the pandemic finished. When I backed to home, it was roughly 9:00 PM, I wanted to end up the day by taking a bath and curl up on my bed. But at that moment, I fell over in my bathroom. After I got up, I saw a tooth on the floor. It was my tooth. The first idea came to my mind was, God, I just made a nice couple of tea, and I couldn’t drink it anymore. Also, I probably need to re-arrange my schedule tomorrow, postpone several meetings, make an appointment with my dentist, and push mountains of work close to the edge of their deadline. A lot of things are driving me crazy.

    Daily writing practice for Monday 14th April Have you ever been treated unfairly by others? Did someone look down on you just because of your gender, age or even your accent? Many people have the bad experience that they are discriminated against, and they might consider it difficult to fight back or shrug off it. As an enduring human behaviour, discrimination comes from several reasons. First of all, discrimination is often considered involving misleading information on mass media. Most media are region-centred, and their understanding of specific areas or cultures is limited by certain facts. As a result, they provide single-sided stories to their audiences. For instance, you rarely can see the foreign news as a headline that appears on the newspaper in XX

    fleabag My favourite TV series in 2019 is Fleabag. I have watched the award-winning series for a couple of times, but every time I was like it is still new to me, and I always can find out some stunning points through the lines. Fleabag is a two-season British TV comedy, which was acted and produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. The story is about a woman who lives in London alone, and how she rides out her difficulties by rebuilding the relationship with her family and friends. Fleabag looks like far away from some traditional comedies which make people laugh by setting up a lot of punchlines. Actually, many people say they weep out a lot when they are watching it, because the story makes them recall their personal life. At the first season, the story focuses on what happen to the ‘Fleabag’ and how her life was messed up. In this season, she seems to lose the ability to cope with people and lack the ability to be very honest with herself. Because she doesn’t want to be responsible for the failure of her relationship, so her ex-partner left her. Also because she had an affair with her best friend’s boyfriend, and that caused the death of her best friend. The accident hurts her very much ,yet she is running away from the reality. In the second season, the atmosphere of the story became warmer and lighter. In this season, she fall in love with a priest, and this relationship helps her get out of her life troubles and makes her become braver. Love rescued her. At the end, even though the relationship finished ,but this time, she was taught how to love and take responsibility.
