Speaking exercise

If you want to go out to some 景點 and there will be less people. This weekend, I feel relaxed because this weekend I didn’t go outside. I have not business trip and this weekend I stay at my home spend a lot of time at my home. I feel I have a good rest. I think it depend on the situation. If I want to go out I will go to somewhere, but if I want walk I will to go walk. If I want rest, I will stay at home.

When I go out, the time is 3;30 pm. When I live in the other place, I think I’m not late. I think if I not in SH, the distance about 1 hours if I’m in a small city. I will feel so far from the place. But, if I’m in SH I will think, “1 hour is okay”. I lived in CN in 2017, near the YAX Road. I rent a house and I live alone, but the house is an old building and the house had the cockroach. I saw them every day, it’s so scary. I use many methods to kill the cockroach, but I failed so I should allow the cockroach is victory and I move my house.

Revised: 

If you want to go to some five-star /popular attraction, there will be fewer people. Because this weekend, I didn’t go outside, I feel relaxed. I did not go on a business trip this week so I spent a lot of time at home. I had a good rest. I think it depends on the situation. If I have to/need to/must go to work  I will go to work, but if I want to rest, I will stay at home.

When I went out, the time was 3;30 pm/half-past three. When I lived in the other place, I think I was never late. If I’m not in SH and it takes about 1 hour in a small city, I will feel that the place is far away. But, if I’m in SH I will think, “1 hour is okay”. I lived in CN in 2017, near the YAX Road. I rented a house and I lived alone, but the house is an old building and the house had cockroaches. I saw them every day, it’s so scary. I used/tried many methods to kill the cockroaches, but I failed so I announced the cockroaches victory and I moved to a new house.
