Ok, What about these? I hope you are fine/well? Greet everybody for me. Thank God. See you tomorrow. bawomolo: @Bawolo Please don't insult our teacher. If you want to take over from her, get a permit from our PRINCIPAL who unfortunately to you is the person you are insulting. You better apologize now. @Ruby_Pearl Please don't mind him. He is one of them damaging the image of our education. Imagine him insulting a teacher. I want to catch a brief rest, we will continue tomorrow please. |
