Speaking exercise

Original:

In this month I plan to travel on Europe in May of next year. I surf  the internet to find useful information. I wrote some books of about traveling. I think it’s not very difficult in my mind. I want to travel by myself, so I wrote a book about how to get passport and book flight, hotel. I try to find my first arrive city map. I’m always missing in new cities, because I don’t know where I want to go. In fact I want to go just follow my heart. I love delicious food, but I’m not rich, so I will find a local restaurant, but isn’t big, so I must ask local person how to go there. Another important problem I think it’s safe, because my family and friends worried about that. I want to enjoying Europe culture and see there building, I think it’s very beautiful.

I‘m planning to travel to Europe next May, so I‘ve looking for useful information on the internet. I read some books of about traveling and I think it won’t be very difficult. I want to travel by myself, so I read a book about how to get a visa and book flights and  hotels, and tried to find the map for the first city I’ll visit. I always get lost in new cities, because I never know where to go and usually just want to follow my heart.

I love delicious foods, but I don’t have a lot of money so I need to ask a local person about local restaurants that aren’t expensive. Another important problem I need to think  about is safety, because my family and friends are worried about that. I want to enjoy European culture and see their buildings, which I think are very beautiful.
