Speaking exercise

I have two different buses and in the shop there are 12 different buses in it. It’s very expensive. If you want to buy one it will cost you 42 yuan. It’s made of plastic. I choose on my mother’s phone.

My mum bought me a plane, a model plane. It’s 15 cm, it has wheels and the plane has Air France on it, the words. It’s made of metal and only 15 yuan. But, one day, suddenly my father dropped it on the floor and two wheels dropped from the plane. And, my dad used the glue to stick them back. Before, all the wheels can turn round and round, but after that, the two wheels can’t turn round and round.

My mum bought a box of lego yesterday and when you finish it you can make a ice-cream car. My mum bought lots of legos too. When you finish it you can make some little people. I have lego and I finished it long, long time ago. It’s a very big ship. It’s about 1.5m. It costs my mother 100 or more yuan. It’s very expensive. It took me 3 days to make it. When I finished it I was very happy and excited.

Writing exercise

I believe in fortune teller because when my mom was pregnant, she went to visit a fortune teller and she asked whether she would give birth to a boy or not, and the fortune teller told her that she would give birth to a boy. After several months, she did give birth to a boy and that boy was me. Many people believe in fortune tellers because they may have the same story as my mom’s.
