Last weekend, I went to Wuxi and had a great experience. My colleagues invited me to their new home. After I arrived, we hung out and talked a lot about our work and lives. I didn’t know that they were good at cooking before we went to the local outdoor food market, which was more interesting than a regular supermarket. They used the ingredients we bought to cook a really big delicious meal for me. I really liked the spicy crayfish they made. The next day we attempted Truman Escape Room, which has been attracting a lot of young people. Every room had different clues and in the end we escaped successfully thanks to our sharp observation skills and reasoning. Before I left, they gave me a basket of bayberries, which they picked from trees themselves. I really enjoyed my trip and it was worth going all the way to Wuxi.

cook-t – cooked: try to say each word clearly and smoothly. Don’t emphasize sounds that shouldn’t be emphasized, or elongate short sounds.

[w] type a space after every punctuation

[v] passive vs. active voice – in general, we want to speak and write in the active voice. The subject should be performed the verb of each sentence.
