Parents want me to be a doctor

Teachers

Piano teachers

Why not?

Doubt

Accountant

.

1. Piano Teacher

2. Accountant

.

Building. Build
Factories. Building. House

.

He will be happy

He will be less tired

Worry less. Have less stress

He doesn't have to worry about your future as much when you're doing good or better

Math

I was doing math homework at home when I was 8 years old

Kumon Math

Kumon: 7 - 10 years old

Timer. Clock

Homeschool

Errands: do some things: get the mail: go shopping

I have some errands to do

.

Love it

Doubt it

Do it

You may not be able to do all of it but you can do some of it

.

Some is better than nothing

.

We want all or nothing

Compromise: make a deal: take what you can get

Be content: be happy with what you have

Perspective: see your life compared to everything and everybody

.

It is not the best but it is also not the worse either

.

Step father

New father

Friend

God father = a man that will help if the real father can't or dies or something

Orphans are kids with no parents

Orphans live in orphanages

.

Would you rather be an orphan or be who you are with the family you have now?

Do you want to have that or this

What do you like more?

.

Hang out: spend time

Responsibility

Be careful with bad people or people who are not in your bubble

Bubble: circle of your family & best friends

People in your life

People closest in your life

Protect them

.

Some people may not be your best friend

Maybe, some people are bad or not the best

But, some people will get better

Future

.

People make wrong choices and then continue making bad decisions

.

They never get better and they get worse and worse each day and each year step by step, little by little, gradually (slowly)

.

Normally, people are both good and bad at the same time and not only good or only bad

But some people become very good or very bad

.

Some good people become bad or go through bad situations (things that happen; chapter; movie; episode; story)

.

Bad things happen to the good people.

Sometimes, good people do bad things.

Sometimes, those good people come back and start to do good things again and they get better

.

Their story is not over yet, like not finished yet, not complete yet

.

Their story ends with death, when they die

.

You can talk about the reasons why you may or may not like the job of accountant. You may like it or not or you make like it a little bit.

.

But besides that, there is another reason why you would be an accountant.

Besides that: never mind; forget about that; moving on; but

But anyways.

First, we talk about being an accountant or not.

But, secondly, we could talk about something else related to that.

That does not have to be a bad thing and that can be a good thing.

.

I want to help him because he is so tired when he gets home from work at night.

.

He gets home at midnight or at different random times, often when we're sleeping or when we are asleep.

.

We don't meet a lot

We don't spend a lot of time together individually (one on one, like daughter to father: one person and another person)

or as a family

.

1. You help him

2. Spend time with him

3. Save him time: you help him at work and he can get work done faster: save time to use it in other things

.

Normal or maybe not normal

I agree

.

Basically: normally; sometimes; generally; average: to be simple & general & to say just a little bit about something

.

Về cơ bản: bình thường; đôi khi; nói chung; trung bình: để đơn giản & nói chung và nói một chút về một cái gì đó

.

Your father works all the time or too much.

What can you do about it?

I can't do anything about it

.

1. Wait for your father to spend time with you

Waiting can hurt you

.

Wait but also stay busy at the same time

2. Talk to your father sometimes and try to encourage him or something

Maybe do some good things for him or write a letter to him

.

Crazy idea

I never write letters to my dad

But you can write letters to daddy; pappa

Draw a picture

Write a poem for dad

.

Ask him for a vacation

.

Ask him about Tet

Lunar New Years

.

I visit my grandparents in their hometown or countryside

.

He only has a few days off for Tet; 2 - 4 days

.

Can we do something special for Tet for 2 - 4 days instead of just visiting the grandparents like we normally do, please?

.

Landscaping: clean the yards, land, gardens; trees, grass, flowers; at people's houses, companies

Study better, harder, well

Take notes
