Leave 除了離開之外還有不少用法，潔西選了幾個比較常用比較好用的給大家參考一下。另外請假的假也是leave，比方說病假叫做 sick leave，那要請假怎麼說呢？一般我們其實會說 take 時間 off。請一天假 take a day off ，請星期一早上 take Monday morning off。下面名詞的地方有介紹說法。
最後面有點語無倫次，因為昨天睡不著，今天又早起，所以睡眠不足，東晃晃西晃晃後回家摸了一個下午，然後晚上終於把買了想煮沒煮的菜通通煮起來，一個人吃真的難煮，怎麼煮都剩一堆。今天的魚香茄子，炒高麗菜，人參雞湯，涼拌小黃瓜，通通明天還要再吃一次。 洗洗切切煮煮花了兩個小時，吃完又要洗鍋子，洗盤子，洗電鍋，好多要洗，累死了。在外面買個便當實在是經濟又實惠啊！不過煮東西是蠻有成就感的，雖然也沒多好吃，哈哈，熟能生巧 Practice makes perfect. 就跟英文一樣，多煮幾次應該就能找到自己想要的口味了。
明天要看醫生，還是要早起，應該來去洗洗睡了。祝大家有美好的一週，順心，愉快！晚安。
