大家問:What did you do all day?(你一整天都在做什麼呢?)
老師答:
I took the MRT to work. In the morning, I had a meeting to discuss some videos and articles. During lunchtime, I went to eat McDonald’s and then took a nap afterwards.
In the afternoon, I started working on my column. I had to rewrite it many times just to make sure it was inspiring and interesting. After work, I went home and did some chores. It was a tiring but challenging day!
(我搭捷運去上班。在早上,我有一場會議要討論一些影片和文章。午餐時間,我去吃麥當勞,之後小睡了一下。下午,我開始寫我的專欄。我必須重寫很多次只為了確保文章是有啟發性又有趣的。下班後,我回家然後做了一些家事。這是很累但又很有挑戰性的一天!)
