Speaking exercise

Original

I took of my care, took him to a playground to do some role play, and let them read some firemen knowledge. And go to some place with a wall, with some light that looks like a fire, and then use water gun to extinguish. and he played a role as an airline waitress, and put on some airline uniform. in each thing we need to wait at least 30 minutes. To play as the fireman we waited an hour and a half, it’s terrible i think. after we went there at 10 am and left there at 2 pm, after that I bought a VIP yesterday. If i have that card i can reserve in advance on the app. You put money into a card and use that to pay every time.  I hate waiting.  If I know that place need to wait a lot of time, I will never go there. But my son, he likes to play as a fireman.

I took care of my son, and brought him to a playground where he could play dress-up, and learn some information about firemen. And drive the small firetruck to some place with a wall, where there are lights that look like a fire, and then they should use a water gun to extinguish it. then he played the role of an airline host, and wore the uniform. For each one we needed to wait at least 30 minutes. To play as the fireman we waited an hour and a half, it’s terrible i think. we went there at 10 am and left there at 2 pm. after that I bought a VIP card.
