Also, this class time is going to from 9a.m. to 12p.m, however she said, If you can proceed to this plan, maybe you could not pass the exam. So, class time was not 3 hours, I changed class time from 9a.m. to 15p.m. I think. Of course, she can get money only 3 hours class. So, she can not get money 3 hours (from 12p.m. to 15p.m.)left.
