VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [S]

focused on conversation and self correction + a lot of “which” usage

Write about sth from your life / like a diary, send me the draft without too much correction – try to use “which” and other conjunctions.

I took a trip to taiwan last month, it’s another yoga retreat organised by Heidi. My plan is stay in hualian for 5 days for the yoga retreat and then I will spend 3 days go around the taipei but it doesn’t begin smoothly, first is the weather, my flight was put off my the typhoon for 7 hours and when i arrived at the hotel it’s 1am. Besides the typhoon there was also earthquake happened and during my vacation there was also aftershocks. I think it’s exciting journey and i’m happy i made it, i made some new friends and i taste the local food.
