I keep onfollowing your courses to boost my English. As I was working in the chemical company very close from Paris, the whole team travelled to NY but me. Maybe because my English was not good enough. I will keep on studying. Thank you Christina for your amazing job. I really appreciate your courses. Help me a lot.

Hi, as a teacher I loved your video btw at 4:31 you've written, " I feel asleep" when it should read "I fell asleep" but still a great video and thanks for sharing.

I have been always confusing what to say if somebody asks. I am new in Canada. Often people ask how was your weekend? I think, what to say? Whether Should I explain the things or give an answer in a short way. Thank you so much for giving solutions.

I am a housewife now so I do same the things everyday from Monday to Friday : I got up at 6am for repairing breakfast and lunch bags for the kids, take the youngest go to primary's school. When I backed home, I have to clean the floors, wipes tables with a lots dust, wash dish..., do some yoga posses and have lunch, take a nap for 5 minutes and go to school for pick up kids, then back to home and do errands, play with her in the house together. After that, cook for dinner, clean clear and talking with the kids to 9:30pm, all of us go to bed and end of a busy day. So Saturday and Sunday are my holidays. I get up later than usual, we go out for breakfast with some closer friends, then I often go shopping in downtown. Sometimes, I buy some delicious food for everyone enjoy... or I prefer having a rest in my room to reading books, listen to the pop music. Weekend are good days for me, I can sleep in late after a week's hard working. Thanks God ! It's a great day !
