I have come back to school for about one week. With my broken legs, I was struggling to climb up from stair to stair in IVE campus for the sake of the defer payment affair. It almost exhausted me all of my energy, I was really dead at that moment. What's more worse is that my muscle crump in my leg(sole of right foot), and put me in a really bad situation.

Initially, I was worrying I can't understand what they are talking about due to their accent. However, the truth is I can clearly listen what they're talking about.

But a little while later, I started to understand what she are talking about. If I compare her accent with BBC News reporters accent, her accent is much more easily to understand. I can barely hear what the reporters in BBC news are reporting because of their RP accent. I could understand what the CNN News reporter saying, not every single word, but at least 50%. It's so
