![]() Actually I don't want to take along a notebook always and everywhere, nor do want other one to look at me as if I'm a monster when I take a notebook out to read. But when I take out my smart phone and pretend that I'm browsing websites or entertainment apps, all things that annoy me would not happen. The new words being preserved here means I can review them wherever I am and whenever I'd like, as long as my smart phone can work. Last edited by Esmee; 04-27-2019 at 06:15 AM.. |
