Homework

Hello Cathy! Your homeworks always make me think a lot. It makes me happy to search for new words, when I try to answer in English. To be exact, it wasn’t that I lacked courage to try — I just didn’t have enough money to do it. It’s a funny but sad reality. For example, I wanted to try golf or new hobbies, but I gave up them because of the money. Let’s think about the times I couldn’t try, because I lacked courage. When I was single, I didn’t ask a lot of pretty girls for their numbers. If I had done that, I might have married a prettier woma than my wife. I wish I could go back to before I got married.

Hi Clark,

You always write your answers with humor and honesty, that makes them so enjoyable to read! I love how you connect real experiences with reflections. It’s clear that you think deeply before writing. Also, I’m happy that you enjoy searching for new words when doing your homework. That’s the best way to build vocabulary naturally. Keep doing that,  your progress really shows in your writing.
