Speaking exercise

I went to HZ last week. I had talked with the staff about the EC/e-commerce and saw a lot of new things. Actually, there is an exhibition. I need to jie her our companies’ questions to find some providers for the exhibition to fix the problem. When I finished the job, then I went to ZL with my girlfriend. There have a lot of old trees. A part trees have a thousand years and because we have package so need to save it in the small shop. The shop boss must off at 4 pm so we just have a one and half hour to visit. And, there is a mountain, on the top side have a wealth temple. We just walk 2/3 of the journey since the time is very rush. When we got back, we need to quickly got back, just like run downhill.
