Notestaken by Claire
Today is the final. We call it finale, thefinal one of the English 900. You know, English 900 is a pretty vast class. Sowe have season no.1 and season no. 2, and all together there are over 20classes. If we take 2 classes in a week, so all together there will be 10weeks. So 10 weeks, it’s more than 2 months. English 900, I think it maybestarted last year and finished this year. I think we had great time learning,communicating, knowing each other, talking and not just on the class, but alsooff the class. I know you have your own wechat group. Even if the class finish,I think we are still gonna be connected, because we are still in thefans group of the EMF. So in the future I hope everyone could continuelearning and then keep on this good habit. So learning is a habit. It’s not fora period of time with a beginning and ending. I think learning is an on-goingnon-stop, and it’s life time habit. So when we finished learning English 900,you can still continue to learning EMF everyday. And of course we are gonnahave English Gym season no. 2. So you can continue learning the basic everydayconversation.

After lunch, I was just going outside to the newsstand,CD stores and buy those magazines and CDs, and then go back to school to theafternoon classes.

This isreally interesting. I’m sure you have done that before. It feels likeyesterday.

There’s not a single person in theworld that speaks the best language. As long as we continue living this dynamicand diverse life, you can always speak better and sound even more powerful and personal.
小麦老师解读：你曾经英语好，不代表你以后也是很好。语言是动态的。所以我们要去学习最新鲜的素材。Do not be disappointed just because who you are right now. You haveto look ahead. We can’t decide where we start. That’s who you are. That’s whereyou start it. But you can decide where you end. We can not change where westart, but we can decide where we end. You can not go back to the beginning,but you can fly to the ending. You can not redo yesterday, but you can create tomorrow.
If you wanna be good you gotta bebusy.
