Fell asleep soon after dinner, and woke up at 1. Got up then and make a bowl of stir-fried noodles (炝锅面) again. Much better this time. It had the flavour of scarllion, maybe because I added the star anise. Watched football games then. Did the running exercise at 5, but I found it difficult to move my body, maybe it was time to start dieting. Took a nap after breakfast. Went to the study room to continue sleeping at 9. Returned to the study room after lunch. Did some job search then. At 4, started to prepare for the English lesson started at 5. The teacher was a man from UK, whose speaking was a little inaudible. There were four other students, including a grandma with all-white hair. I thought my speaking was much better than theirs. By the way, the teacher from the last lesson gave me a feedback in Lingoda's system. It said that I was good at speaking flow and comprehension while the grammatical accuracy needed to be improved. I supposed I was still not accustomed to thinking in English, so I struggled with selecting words and composing sentences that align with proper grammar. It also suggested that I should change my level to B2.2. Unfortunately, I had already booked this lesson when I saw this, and it was quite hard to cancel a lesson on Lingoda. Gonna try lessons at B2.2 next time. Maybe I should check the feedback from this lesson first. Complete 10 pomodoroes today - four for English and six for job search. Next week, I plan to experiment with not setting a weekly goal and working at will. The danger I should to avoid is, I may exhaust myself. So, I think I should keep a feeling that I can do this every week. Exercises and research will be included. I will count the pomodoroes on Sunday rather than Friday. The result could be used as a reference to set weekly goal in the future.
