四周没去上英语课了~我给Eric说了最近工作的变动—去了新的项目需要适应环境，业务和人际上都挑战自己。课程最后，Eric在白板上写下一句话
When you have lemons ,make lemonade!
跟情情妞共勉！
今天我说的多一些，没有按教材来，我在表达的时候反倒轻松些。谈的是自己的生活，所以语速比较快，但还是不够地道。谈了新的项目组工作，谈了最近看的摩登家庭女主上EllenShow的访谈受刺激。
我讲一段，Eric就纠正我这段中不太地道的表达。今天学的更多的是Idioms。Eric留作业，说下次可以聊更多有关Idiom。

讲到看EllenShow没有字幕听着费劲时，Eric建议我，听到不懂的地方，尽量rely on myself and relax，相信自己的判断。
下课了，Eric和往常一样，送我出门。路上他说，对于比较tough的时期，要尽量放松自己，control what you can control.
很庆幸在生活乱成一团的时候，能遇到这么多给我鼓励的朋友和导师。
Make the Lemonade！
