Hi Margaret!
Thanks for your email. Great to hear from you.
I’ll willingly answer your questions. I think learning something online is pretty cool, and convenience is a huge advantage! Personally, I prefer classes online because I can study from the comfort of my home. I doubt that every subject can be effectively taught online, especially those that require hands-on activities like lab experiments or art classes.
I wish I knew more about your aunt’s hobby. What exactly is it? Is it something creative or more practical? Is it something she’s always wanted to try, or a recent discovery?
That’s all for now. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Best wishes,
Kate
