Grammar

wait wood dry – wait for the wood to dry

I went back to Xian with my sister. I stayed at Xian for more than one month. Because of the virus, we stayed at home every day with my family members. We just watch TV shows, some movies and read books every day. I couldn’t go out for shopping or travelling, the others are my routine. For me, I think it’s okay, on holidays if I don’t go out for travelling, I always stay at home. I think it didn’t affect me. I could only draw on my notebook and paint on my notebook. I need many materials such as painting the colours and paper etc. Because I stayed with my family members, it’s not quiet. The environment is not suitable for painting. Everbody had many things to do and my parents wanted to see me paint, but I have not enough materials and glue. It’s very important the glue to help me paint. This is the most important reason so  couldn’t paint at home.

Some little animals couldn’t go inside to the wood because the surface cover the glue. It’s better on sunny day to use glues to cover the wood. It can dry fast and without any water in air. For the small painting, it can take me one month to complete. The glue, the clay and the materials, I need lots of preparation and every time when I begin to paint, I need the fresh glue. But, the fresh glue may use lots of time. I always paint two or three paintings in the whole six months. When I wait for one painting to dry, I can paint the second painting.

I went back to Xian with my sister. I stayed at Xian for more than one month. Because of the virus, we stayed at home every day with my family members. We just watch TV shows, some movies and read books every day. Apart from not being able to go out for shopping or travelling, the others are a part of my daily routine. For me, I think it doesn’t bother me because on holidays if I don’t go out to travel, I always stay at home. I think it doesn’t affect/bother me. I could only draw on my notebook and paint on my notebook. I need many materials such as paint and paper etc. Because I stayed with my family members, it’s not quiet. The environment was not suitable for painting. Everbody had many things to do and my parents wanted to see/watch me paint, but I didn’t have enough materials and glue. The glue is very important for my painting. This is the reason why I couldn’t paint at home.

Some little bugs can’t crawl into the wood because the surface is covered with glue. It’s better on sunny days to use glue to cover the wood. It dries faster without any moisture in the air. For small paintings, it can take me one month to complete. When I begin to paint, I need fresh glue, clay and  materials. But, fresh glue takes lots of time to dry. I always paint two to three paintings in six months time. While I wait for one painting to dry, I can paint the second painting.
