メリハリのあるレッスンでテンポの良いお気に入り先生。平日は夜シフトであまり受講できないので、昼シフトの週末を狙って受講。

「次はたぶんAdditional questionsまで進むから準備しておいてね。」とのこと。英作文は終わったけれど、暗記もしなくちゃかな。 https://t.co/mrsIIhyrZt

👉wag - (especially of a tail or finger) to move from side to side or up and down, especially quickly and repeatedly

When we use 'wag' for a dog, that action shows delight, but when we use 'wag' for a person that action shows disapproval.
