Speaking exercise

This time I go with my parents and my dog. It’s the first time I took my dog with me and she was very excited. She’s very naughty. I just want her to live happy life. I think it’s easier for people in SH to raise a small dog because most people own small apartments. When I booked the hotel in Suzhou, it’s full booked. It was hard to book the hotel I want so I think it’s a little to normal.

When I went to Denmark and they eat their dinner very early. When I want to have something for food, I cannot find a restaurant opened. Maybe the day is short and they eat very early and sleep very early. I also find that even for my family, my parents eat very early. My mother already retired and she will eat lunch at 11 o’clock and dinner at 5 o’clock.
