Speaking exercise

You must wear the mask at shopping malls and at exhibitions. I think it’s normal but still many people. The restaurant not so many people. I’m afraid because the government had meeting. But special is, when I went to train I must check twice check baggage and you can’t carry the 喷瓶 into train. If you went to other city, you needn’t check twice, but the day we went to BJ, the passenger must be checked twice. I didn’t take the metro in BJ, I take taxi.

I think in BJ, the most expensive is the time. We must spend much time on the way. We want to visit the artists and have meeting with them. Yesterday, we went to the Forbidden City. It’s sunny day with blue clouds so it’s very very beautiful. We took a lot of pictures. I didn’t enter Forbidden City – I just around there.

Revised:  

You must wear a mask at shopping malls and at exhibitions. I think it’s normal but there are still many people. The restaurant did not have so many people. I was afraid because the government had a meeting/conference. But one special thing happened:  when I went to take a train,  I must check my baggage twice and you can’t carry sprays/aerosols onto the train. If you went to another city, you needn’t check twice, but on the day we went to BJ, passengers must be checked twice. I didn’t take the metro in BJ, I took the taxi.

I think in BJ, the most expensive thing/the most valuable thing is time. We spent so much time on the road. We wanted to visit the artists and arranged a meeting with them. Yesterday, we went to the Forbidden City. It’s sunny day with blue clouds so it’s very very beautiful. We took a lot of pictures. I didn’t enter the Forbidden City – I just walked around there.
