Cohen English Tutoring Online

在一天風和日麗的中午

我和家人，以及我國中會考家教班的學生聚餐

大家分二桌吃火烤二吃

學生就是學生，不怎麼擅長煮，也不太會烤

真是@ #$@ #$!... 哈哈哈哈！

這位學生，他，是就讀鹽埕國中三年級的李同學！

很優秀的學生哦！又一個在我的課程輔導之下，參加全民英檢初級考試，從初試至​複試都一次就通過的學生。

每當我幫助了一個學生通過考試，心裡不免有種，又幫助台灣的英文實力及教育，多加了一分的成就感，分享給大家感受一下，我們師生的喜悅及努力。

讓我能夠再次幫助及輔導，想提升自己英文實力的學生或成人吧。

聽說這陣子八大行業因為疫情遲遲未能開放。相信有些人或許不甚瞭解，究竟這些領域包含了哪些行業？有些行業甚至與我們日常生活息息相關，就當充實一下常識吧。😊
In this couple of days, I have heard 8 major controversial-client-and-venue businesses and adult entertainment industries not being lifted the ban because of the pandemic. It's believable that some people are probably quite unsure how many businesses are exactly included in the fields of the industries. Some of them even have much to do with our daily life. Let's take that as our productive common sense.

昨天一直在考慮要不要編一篇教師節主題，感覺沒什麼人真的重視這節日了 (哭😭)！後來想想別人怎麼想是一回事，怎麼可以連自己都不重視呢！所以今天 "霸氣" 呈現！😜
