Original:

I’m going to Tokyo for the National Holiday. In my original plan I wanted to go to Japan the next year because the Olympic games will open next year. But when I searched the price for the hotel it was too expensive, so I changed my plan. When I was young I was interested in Japanese culture, but I only went to Tokyo for once and this year I will go to Tokyo with my family. Why I choose Tokyo the reason is it’s more convenience to go with my daughter and the Disneyland in Tokyo maybe more funny than Disney in Shanghai and when my friends heard I would go to Tokyo they told me a lot of things they want to buy, so I would go to the shopping mall buy the many famous brand goods in Tokyo. And I think Japanese food is very delicious and my daughter’s favorite food is noodles, so we will have a lot of seafood and noodles when we in Tokyo. I also plan to go to a city near Tokyo name Yokohama. I will go to Yokohoma because my friend said the city is very nice and similar to Shanghai.

I’m going to Japan for the National Holiday. Originally I wanted to go to Japan next year, because that’s when the Olympic games will happen, but when I looked at hotel prices, they were too expensive, so I changed my plan. When I was young I was interested in Japanese culture, but I have only been to Tokyo once. This year I will go to Japan again with my family. I choose Tokyo because it’s very convenient to go with my daughter. I heard that Disneyland Tokyo is more fun than the one in Shanghai.

When my friends heard I am going to go to Tokyo they asked me to buy them a lot of things, so I will go to shopping malls  and buy goods from many famous brands in Tokyo. I also think Japanese food is very delicious and my daughter’s favorite food is noodles, so we will have a lot of seafood and noodles when we are in Tokyo. I also plan to go to a city near Tokyo named Yokohama, because my friend said the city is very nice and similar to Shanghai.
