Ndi mpikisano uti womwe wakhala wovuta kwambiri, ndipo chifukwa chiyani?

Mpikisano umenewu unali wovuta kwambiri, pazifukwa zingapo. Choyamba, ndimayenera kuphunzitsa mosiyanasiyana: magawo ocheperako, otalikirapo, otsika kwambiri ndikuwongolera pang'onopang'ono kulimbitsa thupi kwanga. Kachiwiri, nthawi yomwe ndimayenera kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi isanakwane, ndiye kuti ndimadziwa kuti ndizipikisana mosakonzekera.
