I first knew him several years ago when juggling......(sound clearer)
- When: juggling the responsibilities of a job and my brand new baby made me
exhausted - it was high time I embarked on my healing journey after all the burnout -
Went online and saw one of his video on youtube (it was incredibly nerve-racking time,
so I needed something to let my hair down)
To be candid with you
- Did not have dazzling good looks.
Emphatic structure
It was...-> nice :)

learn to live happily in the present moment—the only way to truly develop peace,
both in one’s self and in the world

Needless to say-> nice

mindful and being present will be the solution for a happier and more efficient life.

2. that is to say
- Not a extrovert, prefer to spend time alone or with family rather than get to know
someone new. But there was a time that change my mind about that.
If my memory serves me right, it was ...ago when....

=> go to a café near my house – saw a German girl sitting there trying to communicate
seemed
with the waiter, who seems a little confused due tothe
language barrier.
Luckily enough, I know a little German to be an unintended translator for them.
One thing led to another – we became friends

- Appearances: she had perfect make-up

Rather dazzling good looks - perfectly made up with not a hair out of place
On top of that, bright eyes and radiant smile – bright up one’s day

- Character:

When I figure out that she was only 18 – I was stunned – mature for her age
Had a wealth of knowledge about various countries – was captivated by her fascinating
stories. What impressed me the most is her sharing about one of the german culture – that
elements
is they usually have bread with avocado, istead of butter like in VN.
 be more open to others and willing to help others
That was an unforgettable day for me – Maybe I should more open up and seek to help seek + help
others when there is a chance. I mean, helping others actually helps yourself. coherence-> expand the idea.

3. Someone inspired you to do something interesting

Child – 5 years old adorable girl. Never in my wildest dream could I imagine myself,
who afraid of physical pain, to do something as dangerous as roller-skating
was
- When
Needless to say, the first day I met her was a red – letter day for me – over the moon
when holding her in my arm.
My life has

- Appearances
Always captivated by her sparkling big brown eyes, her dazzling smile – bright up my
day and even years to come.

- Everyday spent with her is a gift.

- Such a kindhearted child who is caring and generous. He/she shows compassion and
isn’t selfish. She is likely to share with friends and even strangers.
selflessness

- One day earlier this year, asked me to buy a roller-skater for her, after watching some
older kids in the neighborhood, so I got one for her.

What struck me the most was her determination – practiced day in day out. Every time
she fell – just stood up by herself without a tear – unexpected for me that she has that
kind of brave. that kind of bravery
however (on the contrary-> oppose to an idea)
I, on the contrary, have never ever roller-skated before, mostly because of the fear of
falling and getting hurt. As u can probably guess, I bought a pair for myself. Surprisingly,
ed to grown fond of it
it wasn’t that hard. I soon got the hang of it and even start to love it. Now I and my
daughter still manage to practice together at least four times a week. my daughter and I
On top of that, I’m glad that we have more mother daughter quality time.
hadn't dared
After this chance to do sth I didn’t dare to do before - Realize – Life is full of challenges
– so does passion, patience and persistence. Eventually, Exerting yourself the utmost will
certainly bring you some fruitful results bear fruit
You mean passion, patience and persistence is full of challenges?-> wrong use of inversion

4.
When it comes to fashion, instantly think of one of my best friend –Mi.
the first one that pops into my mind
 in
Since highschool – 1st day of high school to be exact. Everyone dressed the same with
uniforms, but one stood out with just some items of accessory – which I thought was so
impressive and creative.
entering
When coming in the class, instantly captivated all of the class by her dazzling good looks
- perfectly made up with not a hair out of place.
Bright eyes and radiant friendly smile – bright up one’s day
u'nique
What struck me the most was her unique style of dressing. Easily caught our attention by
amping up the look of uniform. Everyday she wore various types of hats and bracelets,
even though they weren’t exactly in fashion back then. That is to say, she was the one
who set the trend.
But for her, I wouldn't have known much about color combination. I mean, there....
A helpful person – gave sound advice about fashion. But for her, I wouldn’t know there
are certain colors that light us up and other colors that just don't jive well with our skin
jibe with->for opinion/ statement
tones and hair or eye color. words and actions jive with each other
In conclusion-> Don't use it --> go well with
Beauty is more than skin deep, but being good-looking really does pay off. -> Coherence: WHy?
