Then she goes to the library to prepare for her Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) test or write assignments. In addition to her university work, Lily signed up for an online CFA tutorial taught by Chinese teachers, with learning materials delivered in both Chinese and English. Harry wakes up and listens to the English songs on his phone.
