What we talked about today:
- Joe asked us what the initial reaction we had when we heard this news.
- Share your own experience of breaking a rule.
- Can I share your consequence of breaking a rule?
- Could you tell us about your idea about new rule or eliminating rule?
Some personal thoughts:
- Obviously, my grammar is really really bad
- Be slow, get your words organized before you speak
- Vocabulary
- Still feel difficult to express clearly what I want to say
- My pronunciation is getting rusty, I need practice right now
- Really happy to know new friends
- Why I came —— to practice my spoken English, to see how good and how bad my English is now, get to know new friends
