Writing exercise
Original
Last Sunday I went to Mount putuo to worship Budda with my husband and we spend 7 hours to take a bus to go to there. Actually, it only takes 4 hours to get there But we spend three hours more than before Because it was snowed on Sunday morning and speed highway was closed our bus had to stay on the road until the snow stopped. Mount putuo is an island. After got off the bus and we need to spend 15 minute to take a speed boat to go to the island. I go to Mount Putuo once a year and live on the island for one night and pray for my family health and safety.
