b. TALK

Talk about the person who has influenced you the most in your life.  Who is the person?  How has he/she influenced you and your life?

Without shadow of a doubt, the most important and most influential person in my life is my mother. My mother is in her forties now, but she still maintains a youthful look. She is a teacher and is a much-revered to her pupils. For me, she is not only my mother but also my soulmate. She always gives me valuable advice and is willing to stand by me through all the ups and downs of my life. She taught me a lot about how to be a good person and how to work together with others. She is an ideal mother, she has sacritificed a lot and has never complained about anything to me. If I have a million roses, I would give them all to my mom because of the million things mom do. And I just tell you one thing that is always love your mom because you will never get another.

c. notes After the first lesson, we understood the basic difference between translating and interpreting. We talked a lot about this. Due to the complicated situation of the pandemic, we had to attend the online class. It's really inconvenient and boring.

In the past, I used to take notes with pen and paper, but now I can do it in other software. That's interesting!
