Speaking exercise

I took an annual leave to Japan. I really like Japan I stayed there for 7 days. I have been there maybe 5 times and this time I went to the middle of Japan. It is quite natural unlike Tokyo or Kyoto it is quiet in the village of the mountains and you can have a hot spring bath.

Which place can I pick the first choice must be Japan. It is close but the food the environment is completely different from China

If you take annual leave to Europe or US it is far away and takes a long time flying there. And Thailand it is a lot of people there. I don’t like Thailand or south east countries.

When I was in the middle school my grammar is n1. I am the representative of English course in my class. Language is something you have to practice to make it perfect.
in China people are very low profile. I won’t discriminate that but not many of them will have the gathering to say I want to protect our rights. It is a different culture.

The tornado swept through the city in 1 day.
I experienced the big earthquake in 2018. We were working in the building. The feeling is strong. I felt headache when it shaked I thought I was sick or something . Then Our boss came our from our office. He was German and he asked  is there a subway under our building and his response is very quick. Just leave here and the funny thing is we took the lift down. From the 25th floor.
