correct the speaking from today

Time flies back to 2011, when I first time went to London, I was shocked by the crowed. People on the road were fashionable, and they all dressed like models. I wanted to visit Harrods which I hoped it could be the first spot in our journey, but my boyfriend who is now my husband chose another place. Then I went with his choice, and we went to the London eye to take a visit. I can’t remember about it clearly now because it has been pasted for several years. I can just remember the buildings when we looked from the heaven were very closed to each other. Then we went to Buckingham palace and there were lots of knights outside which were all guardians of the royal army. They rode horses which made them looks handsome, and the horses were tall and straight. In the evening, we went to China town to have dinner. We love Chinese food and the restaurants in London sounds good. There were lots of people in China town because it was around the Chinese new year, lots of traditional performance there, for example, dragon and lion dance, walk on stilts etc…

Pronunciation

clothes – “cloe thzz”

when we lived in liverpool, liverpool is near to manchester, and i was single at that time i went to manchester by myself. It took 45 minutes by train. When I get off I went to the shopping store to buy something and then I went back to Liverpool. I didn’t travel some famous spots there… but when I fell in love with my bf we went to manchester together and we just have a visit but I didn’t have many memory about there. I remembered when I went manchester alone, in the train station there was a young guy, he asked me for money. He just said, can you give me 10 pounds? Sorry I only have 2 pounds and 50 pounds I’ve got in cash, then he said you could give me 50 pounds, then I give it to him. When he left, maybe he was a bad guy. I just scared when I think it clearly but I’m not care about the money. Maybe he is lack of money, he need some money to do something. At that time I’m 22, so he was younger than me… so maybe the sister must take care and love the younger brother.
