Speaking exercise
I’m at the airport and maybe I need 30 minutes to get there. I just passed here. I just see the car because I want to buy the car so I go to the QP and when I came back to JA, I found I need one hour. I chose the airport because it is half of the distance. I call a car and he send me to the XJD and I take the line 2 because the line 2 is more fast than take the car. So when I get the airport, I found it’s 7 o’clock.
When I finished looking at the car I felt don’t want to buy a car. I think it’s not 不值. I need to pay the gas and parking fee. I think that the assurance and the service fee is very expensive. I think if I buy a car in my hometown, it’s worth it, but if I buy it in SH it’s not.
Revised:
I’m at the airport and it will take me around/approximately 30 minutes to get there. I just passed by. I just went to see the car because I want to buy a car so I went to the QP and when I want to come to JA, I found I need one hour. I chose to stop at the airport because it is in between both places. I called a taxi/Didi and he took me to the XJD. Then, he took me to line 2 because line 2 is faster than the car. So when I got to/arrived at the airport, I found out that it’s 7 o’clock.
When I finished looking at the car I felt that I don’t want to buy it anymore. I think it’s not worth it. I need to pay for the gas and the parking fee. I think that the insurance and the servicing fee is very expensive. If I buy a car in my hometown, it’s worth it, but if I buy it in SH it’s not.
