Speaking exercise

I will go back home with my family. The ticket is hard to buy, I only stay at home three days. When I get home, it’s the first day of the spring festival. It’s a little late for parents, because they are very traditional, they think why you get home so late, it’s not a good way for the family. They want me to get home before the first day of the new year. I told them the reason is I can’t buy the tickets from the app. I argued with my parents.

I don’t want to go home because I don’t know how I can communicate with my family. I don’t know how to talk with my relatives. For a long time, I live in SH alone, no families no relatives. I think it’s totally I can’t understand their world.
