1. Well! I really feel tired {1} since this Monday until now, when I started this new course, but I learned quite a lot of things from the teachers and my classmates. For example, {2}how to use the phone to arrange a meeting or speak on the phone in English with another person or company etc. .
2. I think everything for me {3} is very interesting. Then I would like to learn more in this month. I was so surprised from the beginning, because it's a completly different type of the course {4}.
3. I think the most important part for me is the project work, which I also thought about after class. I have not got any clue about this. So I do not know how to answer it at the moment, but may be next week or before we finish this course I hope I can give you the answer.
4. I am not quite sure which one will be more useful for me, but I think all of them will be very important to me in the future. No idea. Let's see what happens.
p.s Below these four questions is my report, which is about this afternoon's trip. Could you help me to correct it, please? This afternoon I had a wonderful visit to "Dartington Crystal". It was a very interesting trip. From the beginning I saw the many different types of glasses and many workers were making new glass. At the end we met the manager, who answered all our questions.
For example, I asked him about "how long does it take a person to become a top maker {5}?". He said: it might take ten or twelve years to train a basic maker {6}, after that, perhaps they can become a professional in this company. But another possibility is : If you are very skillful, that will not take you that long. So from this question I really appreciate why this company making {7} a good profit in Britan, which is about 16 million pounds per year. So this trip gave me a lot to think about. I really enjoyed it. I hope next week will be the same {8}, but different company {9}. Thank you for arranging this visit and for reading again this very bad article.
