Hey Alley! I remember you mentioned you have a cat. What’s your cat’s name? My family also has a dog—he’s very friendly, and his name is Buddy. By the way, how long have you been teaching English? And what made you choose to teach online? could you tell me a little more about yourself?”

Today is so cold, but winter is my favorite season. I get to wear my down coat, my beanie, and my snow boots. I want to share a podcast I listened to today. The topic was about how to train your mouth and brain to speak English. There was a sentence I really liked “Speaking English for five minutes a day is better than studying a lot at once.” I totally agree with this idea, and I think the time I spend walking to the gym is a great chance for me to listen to English podcasts.

I’ve been sick these past few days with a sore throat, a stuffy nose, and a headache. I’ve been feeling really tired, but I still have many things need to do. Today, I spent almost four hours recording an online English handout. Because of my hoarse voice, I had to repeat several parts over and over. By the time I finally finished the task, I just wanted to clear my mind.

On my day off, I woke up early, wrote my to-do list, checked my emails, and had a cup of coffee to wake up my brain. Later, I planned to exercise, and on my way to the gym, the sunny weather made me feel relaxed. After finishing my workout and some cardio(aerobic exercise), something terrible happened—I realized I had lost my earring. I had just bought it a week ago, and it was a bit expensive. I had no idea when it went missing; the last time I saw it was yesterday morning. I’m really sad because I can’t find it anywhere.

Hi!My name is Sierra.I am from Tainan,but I live in Taipei.I work as a nurse in the Emergency Room.I also study for my master's degree.In my free time,I love go to gym and do weight training.I always control calories,but ice cream is my favorit dessert. Today is the last day of Black Friday, so after work, I went to Costco and bought some things, such as fish, chicken, milk, and yogurt. What scared me was the crowd of people. It was hard to walk, and the checkout line was really long.
