I would like to talk about my friend who started cr school and english crime school. Um, I can see that she works so hard on getting new students and um, communicating with parents and uh, helping students to improve their grades. I think this is not an easy business to start with, but she did a great job at the beginning, um, as she still, uh, works very hard. I can see that she sometimes feel very frustrated because of the performance of the students and the response of the parents. But uh, anyway, she makes quite a large sum of money, which compensates her a lot, um, because after starting her own business, she seldom finds time, uh, to spend with us. And I don’t know about her family life. I think she is too busy, uh, to deal with her kids problems. Uh, I can see that her life is getting more and more complicated and I hope that she can, uh, the situation can get better for her and um, I think, uh, money is valuable. However, uh, family members to me, ah, are more important. Um, I tried to tell her to spend more time with her family. I don’t know if she really took my advice, but um, I really hope the situation will get better for her.

I'd like to talk about my friend who started a tutoring business, offering both math and English classes. I've seen firsthand how hard she works to attract new students, communicate with parents, and help her students improve their grades. It's not an easy business to start, but she did a fantastic job initially, and she continues to work tirelessly. I've noticed that she sometimes feels frustrated by student performance and parental responses. However, she's making a good income, which is a big reward for her efforts. Since starting her own business, she rarely has time to spend with us. I'm not sure about her family life, but I think she's too busy to deal with her children's issues. Her life seems increasingly complicated, and I hope things improve for her. While money is important, I believe family is more valuable. I've tried to encourage her to spend more time with her family. I don't know if she's taken my advice, but I truly hope things get better for her.
