in English and show with you my daily
routine. You can practice learning
vocabulary. It's like comprehensible
input and for me it is speaking
practice. So in the morning right now,
let's go. I I just decided to put on,
you know, some kind of hoodie, gray,
white t-shirt, and black pants. Just
casual, nothing fancy, but I don't
actually care to look super good. Like,
just students, like, who cares? And
everything. What I need to take with me
is just my earphones like this
and my backpack. It's pretty empty cuz
like I don't I don't have any textbooks
and papers. No, just
backpack. That's it. All right, we got
to hurry up now to miss the bus cuz like
it's the best option to get to
university.
