You know what Lucy? I used to watch your video when I just arrived here in the UK and I learnt quite a lot from you which I appreciated very much. And now I’ve lived here for almost two years and half. The thing is I’m addicted to your videos, I can’t resist from watching it. You doing absolutely cracking job and keep it up. Imagine if you have to go somewhere else outside the UK for holiday or for work, you would be back with a pale of presents from those people you have helped a lot. Have you ever received a present from random person???

Please, give me a heart so I can understand my sentences are right.↓ 1. I don't appreciate the way our Science teacher teaches. 2. I'm not a big fan of K-Pop. 3. Thanks but I'm not fond of cold drinks. 4. I can't bear the people who snore. 5. I think dancing is not for me.
