Speaking exercise

Original:

You know, my last new year holiday was in Indonesia. I went there alone, so this year I planned stay in Shanghai and spend my holiday with my parents and my son. We had dinner with my parents and my uncles and aunties together at the first night of the holiday. We talked something about the healthy, and my job, and my parents’ traveling plan in this year. We also talked about my mother’s new habit: singing online. My mother is very interested in this recently. After that, the rest six days I stayed at home and cooked something I liked, such as shrimp, pork, and some soup. I also baked cookies. My father and I cooked xiaolongbao. This is the first time we worked together. I felt very happy, this is the first time I cooperated with my father. He taught me how to wrap it. When we finished it, I feel very exciting when we steamed it, it tastes very good.

My last new year holiday was in Indonesia, where I went by myself. This year I decided to stay in Shanghai and spend it with my parents and my son. We had dinner with  my uncles and aunties on the first night of the holiday. We talked about our health, my job, and my parents’ traveling plans for this year. We also talked about my mother’s new habit: singing online. My mother is very interested in this recently.

For the remaining six days I stayed at home and cooked things I liked, such as shrimp, pork, and soup. I also baked cookies. My father and I cooked xiaolongbao together. I felt very happy, because that was the first time I cooperated with my father in the kitchen. He taught me how to wrap the xiaolongbao and when we steamed it, it tasted very good.
