My cute sweet romantic students

I have two private students now.. Their grades are K-2 and P-2. The K-2 is a little sweet girl and The P-2 is a fat cute boy.. :p 

They are like an “ABABIL”. Their attitudes and moods are unpredictable. Sometimes, they make me smile. Frequently, they make me crazy. However, I always try to be patient. 

The more naughty they are, The more I hate them.. The more I hate them, The more I love them. Tonight, I have a “funny” conversation with my fat cute boy. His name is Leo..

Here is a conversation between Leo and I:

Me       : Hey, Leo.. Please do your exercise! I will give you something cute after this.

Leo      : What will you give? Tell me first!! *whimper curiously*

Me       : No... Finish ur exercise first!!!

After finishing his exercise…

Me       : Allright..First of all, I wanna ask you.. Do you like a star?

Leo      : Hmm…Hmmm.. No... I don’t like a star…I hate star!

Me       : Weww,, are u sure? See my star first! ;)  *I give him a cute paper star*

Leo      : Wawww.. *look at the star with  sparkling eyes*

Me       : Do you like it? *wink* ;)

Leo      : Yes, I like this star…but, I hate the stars in the sky!

Me       : Why do you hate it?

Leo      : I hate it because I can’t touch it.. -.-‘

Me       : oow..now you can touch this paper star, right?

Leo      : Yes, I wish I could reach for the real star in the sky. I will take one star for you.. :)

Me       : aaww..really?? so sweet! :') but, why do you only take one star?

Leo      : yeahh, because it’s hard to take many stars in the sky, miss! >,<

Me       : ahahahhaaa…okay..no problemo… Thx dear! <3

Well.. FYI, Leo is still 7 years old. I never imagine that he can say those beautiful words to me. He looks innocent, but romantic! :)

Formal and Informal English

This is a summary of  business communication mid-test.. Let's enjoy it!

LANGUAGE STYLE

Three main language styles:
1. Formal >> official, legal, semi-professional
    We can use formal when we don’t know anything about the person who receives letter. (Dear sir or madam)
