Writing exercise

I had a trip for Songjiang district this couple of days. I got up at 5 because I wanted to get the first bus for the first tube. When I arrived the railway station, lots of people waited. I got on the line 7 to Zhaojiabang Road and transfer to the line 9 to Songjiang University Town. The weather was so hot when I got out of the tube station. Few minutes later I arrived at the Shanghai International Studied University. It is so large that people need to spend one hour to get around. The‘re many foreign architectures described all over the school. I bought a ticket for dinning room in the cafeteria (食堂). It cost me 20 yuan but only one plate of meat.
