Practice

David
▶︎ All right, everyone. It’s time for today’s practice. We’ll do some “否定文” today.
But remember in English we tend to put the “not” in the front. OK.
It’s that “否定文” appeal. All right? So let’s practice these together.

Roza
▶︎ Repeat after us.
※ I don’t believe, I don’t believe
・I don’t believe we’ve met.
・I don’t believe we’ve met.

David
▶︎ Great work. Keep it up!
※ I don’t expect, I don’t expect
・I don’t expect they’ll come.
・I don’t expect they’ll come.

Roza
▶︎ OK. And one more.
※ It doesn’t seem, It doesn’t seem
・It doesn’t seem that we’ll have time.
・It doesn’t seem that we’ll have time.

David
▶︎ Unlock your potential.

Roza
▶︎ Repetition is the key.

Roza & David
▶︎ Great work.
