Speaking exercise

I am from China but I don’t like eat rice and hotpot. When I was a child, I ate fruits and snaps everyday that taste was very delicious in my life. So when I eat rice, I cannot get the taste. I don’t like hotpot because it’s very spicy. Once a time I ate hotpot, I had ill, I went to the hospital for one week. That’s why I don’t like hotpot and rice.

I go to work Monday to Friday so I just available on weekend. I usually go to shopping and travel with  my friends on weekend. Shopping is the first choice. We need to dress up ourselves for beauty. Second choice is travel, we like to try different food and learn different culture. Finally, we like gossip when we eat the food.

I answered, look, the top right and the final sentence, you can see the appear time. The right time is for example (…). Finally we authorize for four months or a year. I wanted to teach him, I said: Today, you choose Italian food. Next day, you choose Japanese food, you think you are wrong?
