0Hi Pioussoul, 02br
02br
00I haven't have the time to find answers yet. I am doing all the questions then I will look for the answers. If I know the answers, I will feel like I don't like to do the questions. As soon as I do all the questions, I will find the answers. 02br
02br
00I don't mean to keep you all in suspense, I just need someone to help me because it is kind of difficult for me right now. With English members'help, it is easier for me to understand faster than I study by myself. 02br
