Speaking exercise

Original:

In this month I’m busy all the time, so I plan a great spring travel with my coworker. We are going to Huzhou city, is belong to Zhejiang Province. We choose an expensive hotel online, because we just want to relax, so the hotel has a swimming pool, sports gym, and a spa. We will enjoy my holiday and then we want to test local food and watch some local buildings. The favorite local building is Nanxun Town. It has long history. If we go Huzhou city by train we will spend RMB110, but if we change by bus we just only spend RMB50, so maybe we will choose go there by bus, it depends on my finish job’s time.

This month I’m busy all the time, so I‘m planning to go on a great spring trip with my coworker at the end of the month. We are going to Huzhou, in Zhejiang province. We chose an expensive hotel online, because we just want to relax. The hotel has a swimming pool, a gym, and a spa. We will enjoy our holiday, try local food, and see some local architecture.
