I wiped off the sweat from my face after first class.

It is great on the first class. I like you, teacher Sarah, and really appreciate your patience.I enjoy your sound of laugh and we all agree that your smile is the most beautiful one on the linewow website. I was little nervous and It was suggested to learn the text book according to page 1-3 of toustone4 at first, so I just focused on it and was not warm up before our class. Now, we knew each other more after the class, and I realized that we need to know each other on some basics at the beginning so that we can extend our topic by our background , I hope we share more on class like you wrote in the reflection. Thank you upload the mp3 early, so that I can listen our conversation again and again. Actually，I missed some of your meaning on the class and now after review the mp3 I can understand more about the sentence you said.And whenever I speak a wrong word or sentence you say it again in the correctly ,I think it is a good way, when I listen the mp3 again I can imitate you and learn more from you. Maybe next class we can use the text book as a background material, I am going to go through it first and find some question to ask you, these questions can be grammar or understanding or related to culture, do you think it is a good way? Such as when I read the text book "Student of the month-Melida CorteZ" on page 2, I can't understand why when her father paid for some driving lessons, Melida was thrilled. Because this situation is very nature in China that parents pay for their child. So I suggest to talk about the difference relationships of children and parents between eastern and western. Do you like this topic? my teacher sarah. THank you, my teacher sarah, after so many years left school I have a teacher again, It is amazing to me. THank you!

Talk about a situation which enabled you to realize you had a certain strength or weakness at work that you didn't know about before and how you dealt with this new finding. I can’t think out a situation which is appropriate for this condition at once, but a memory popped into my mind when I saw this topic. So let me share this experience now. In 2010, I worked at IBM and was in charge of mainframe selling which is a kind of very very big computer. I was crazy to call customer and present the product as long as the customers give me a chance, but I would rather leverage our technical to make presentation than me because I was a salesman and didn’t know the technical detail about the product. During that time, I had asked a lot of colleagues’ help, some colleagues are IBM account salesmen and can provide business opportunities. One day, one of my colleagues told me he made an appointment with Shanghai Police bureau and invited me to introduce the product, it was so close to the time when we would call the client. I was not self-confident to make the introduction by myself, so I asked our technical team’s help. Finally an engineer was assigned to work with me, and then I specially talked with him about my ideas and notes what we should say more or less in front of the client in order to impress them at this time. But unfortunately, in opposition to my expectation, the engineer made the presentation too technically and really did not understand what the client cared about, I was afraid I would be impolite if I had interrupted him when he was presenting, but facts proved that I was wrong. The client was very dissatisfied with this communication and my colleague who made this appointment went to his boss to complain about it. of course, my boss known the news quickly. After that, I have begun to contemplate what was wrong with me. I was hardworking like crazy, but the result couldn’t approach to my plan. What if I had another opportunity, what should I do? I would have taken as presenter by myself, I would have chosen another engineer to work with me, I would have checked the presentation in advance, or I would have interrupted him immediately. Finally, I had found the radical problem was I needed to have a rest for consideration, I thought that crazy work was right while no time to think over my actions until it was happened, I did need some time to consider how to do and what to do instead of doing anytime.

I learned some more useful words for annual party! That's great!

I am a little nervous when chris call me becuase i am a little busy with my job, and i cannot devote myself to list to her. there are some words i cannot catch once chirs speak to me, for example records. and i apply to let teacher keep records because i cannot use skype in the class. 20 minutes is a little short for me to communicate with teacher, but i think it will be good enough if i can make best use of it. hoping for having a great improvement in the future.

maybe we just not need to do all of the exercise in the lesson; of course i will prepare all of them; Dear Amia just need to choose some of them which she thinks is imprtant.

I hope Amia will notice my pronunciation; when i listen back to my voice record, i feel it's terrible~~

My teacher is Tiffany, she is really nice, i like to talk with her, also i am happy with her talking, thank you so much.
