Notes
taken by Claire
Today is the final. We call it finale, the
final one of the English 900. You know, English 900 is a pretty vast class. So
we have season no.1 and season no. 2, and all together there are over 20
classes. If we take 2 classes in a week, so all together there will be 10
weeks. So 10 weeks, it’s more than 2 months. English 900, I think it maybe
started 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 also
off 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 the
fans group of the EMF. So in the future I hope everyone could continue
learning and then keep on this good habit. So learning is a habit. It’s not for
a period of time with a beginning and ending. I think learning is an on-going
non-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 gonna
have English Gym season no. 2. So you can continue learning the basic everyday
conversation.

CD stores and buy those magazines and CDs, and then go back to school to the
afternoon classes. Because you know most classes in the afternoon, they are not
so important as the classes in the morning, so usually during the class we just
put our head down and sometimes we just use the textbooks as a cover. This is
really interesting. I’m sure you have done that before. It feels like
yesterday. Pass it on to me. 递给我 We tore the magazine apart. 把杂志撕了

remember one night. I was doing my homework very late. That old man’s wife came
over to my house, knocked down our door. I was in my own room, doing my
homework, so I didn’t know what was going on. All I knew was my mom just rushed
out with that old lady, and then came back after several hours. My mom told me
that the old man just died in the hospital. It happened all of a sudden, really
tragic. I asked my mom how he actually died. He died of accident. He was
actually taking some capsules and he got choked. He just went to bed. After
some time, his wife just found that what’s wrong with my husband? And then she
came over to check upon/on him, found out that he was lying there with his face

person without power. I wanna be a nanpu 男仆. I teach you English. I help you when you need me.
There’s not a single person in the
world that speaks the best language. As long as we continue living this dynamic
and 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 have
to look ahead. We can’t decide where we start. That’s who you are. That’s where
you start it. But you can decide where you end. We can not change where we
start, 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 be
busy.
