I have finished listening to the English Cafe 340 just now.
I know it is only Tuesday here in Hong Kong, and I have already finished listening to my Wednesday learning material.
Jeff & Lucy have always been very generous to us. They give us the lessons before they were due.
I felt I need to write here today because I have enjoyed listening to Jeff’s answers to the questions from ESLPOD.com’s listeners, and I want to thank everyone who have asked the questions so that I got to listen to them. There are so much that I do not know and I never thought of asking.
Of course I enjoy listening to everything else as well, not just the ‘questions and answers’.
All the best.
Betty 🙂
Dear Jeff
Please note that there is no need to upload this message if it is better not to. I think this message has no interest to our friends here. I should have sent you an email but too lazy to do that.
Please forgive me for being a pain in the neck.
I am not sure if you are trying to catch us out, you have in the list above ‘Monday’ and ‘Friday’ in the wrong place.
I was looking for ‘Giving CPR’ but could not find it, thus found that the two days were in the wrong place.
I am a weird student! I take everything too serious, no good!
Have a Happy Easter!
Betty 🙂
