Speaking exercise

I went to HK and Macau on Labor Holiday with my mother. I think HK is very fit for me, I think it’s a very fast and great city. I like the scene, that is a wonderful place. But my mother thinks the speed in there is too fast, she likes to live in a country. She wants to get some comfortable slow life. I notice there has not too much toilet in HK, I always need to find the ladies room in the shopping mall, or some buildings.

Macau is an opposite city. On one hand, I can see old buildings, they are old and shabby. On the other side, I can see the casinos. Normal people live in the old place, foreign people stay in the casino. People go there like the things in there are free, they buy a lot of things. They buy as many as they can. In HK and Macau, they have some free duty stores. Although they are free duty shops, it doesn’t mean it’s free, but people shows me like those things are free. I buy a little makeup. We two don’t like shopping, so we go to some mountains. We take a 360 cable car to Ngong Ping.

I think Hongkong person speak Chinese is very funny, their tone sounds like they can’t speak straight. I want to help them to speak.

Revised

I went to HK and Macau for Labor day Holiday with my mother. I think HK suits me very much, I think it’s very fast-paced and great city. I like the scenery , that is a wonderful place. However my mother thinks the pace is too fast in HK, she likes to live in the countryside. She wants to enjoy a some comfortable and slow life. I noticed that there weren’t much toilets/washrooms in HK, I always need to find the ladies room in the shopping mall, or some buildings.

Macau is totally different from HK. On one side, I can see old buildings, they are old and shabby. On the other side, I can see the grand casinos. Normal people live in the older areas/neighborhood, foreigners stay in the casino. People shop like things are for free, they buy a lot of things. They buy as much as they can. In HK and Macau, there are some free duty stores. Although they are free duty shops, it doesn’t mean that the products are free, but people shop like crazy. I bought some makeups. The two of us don’t like shopping, so we went to some mountains. We took a 360 cable car to Ngong Ping.

I think the way Hongkong people speak Chinese is very funny, they sound like they can’t speak it properly. I want to correct them with their speaking.
