Finish the writing from this class.

Vocabulary

: – this is called a colon, and is used to give examples, to make a list
e.g. I saw some friends at the park today: Ashley, Carol, and Nick
e.g. I will go to the store to buy some things: carrots, apples, and soap

Since – because
e.g. Because my driver’s license is expired, I will go to get it renewed today.
— After some time, and until now; between some time in the past, but before now.
e.g. Since autumn arrived, it has gotten colder (between the time when autumn began and now, the temperature has gone down)
e.g. She first refused, but has since agreed (at some point in the past she said no, but later she changed her mind and said yes)
— Both of these uses relate to the present, so we need to use “have”

Sweep – to use a broom to collect dust, or leaves, etc. from flat places
e.g. Shanghai has many people who go around sweeping up garbage and leaves.

Notify vs. Tell – both can mean “to give someone new information”; however, “tell” can also be a command.
e.g. He was told / notified that he would have to pay a fine for parking in the wrong place.
e.g. He was told not to park there (he was commanded not to park there)

Grammar

I couldn’t remind – remember

Time flies, Winter is coming soon, and it is colder and colder this days, there is a saying in China, it will get more colder and colder after a rain since the autumn comes. In late autumn, there are many beautiful scenes in shanghai, The most which I like is the fallen leaves around TianPing road and Hengshan road, and the cleaners there are notified that they shouldn’t clean the leaves during this days, so the road looks full of yellow leaves, beautiful and romantic. I think you’ll deeply enjoy it when you walk there especially with a good camera.
As the winter comes, there are also following some trouble things, something like good appetite, you will find all kinds of food looks really tasty, and it is tough for you to control this feeling, and the first thing you are thinking about when the cold wind pass by is that what you will eat when the work in finished, so then you’ll see the numbers on the weighing scale looks very unfriendly.
So are you ready for the winter’s coming? It will be soon.

Time flies! Winter is coming soon, and it is getting colder and colder these days. There is a saying in China: it will get more colder and colder after each rain as the autumn arrives. In late autumn, there are many beautiful scenes in Shanghai. The one most which I like most is the fallen leaves around TianPing road and Hengshan road–the street sweepers there are told that they shouldn’t sweep up the leaves during these days, so the road is full of yellow leaves, beautiful and romantic. I think you would deeply enjoy it when you walking there, especially with a good camera.
