Catch up 追上 zhuīshàng

This year, I ventured to Chicago 芝加哥, where I got to catch up on all kinds of things.

Jing Cheng, like many Chinese boys, is dressed head to toe in Michael Jordan apparel, the real deal, not the bootlegs.

I pause for a moment, thinking about the oil and water concoction of abortion and religion.

I didn’t event this language. I just teach it.

I don’t remember learning grammar. I remember Kathy Lawton throwing up in the fifth grade, Richard Elliot drinking the water in the fish tank, but the rules deciding when to use raise or rise?
