Speaking exercise

This morning, I have some sad stories. My grandmother is passed, but her age is 94. So it’s not a very sad story for us actually. We don’t cry and I remember something when I was childhood, my grandmother once give me a lot of toys because I cried all the day, I didn’t stop. Whoever say anything I just didn’t stop crying, because my grandmother took care of me. My mom left me a week.

Recently, my grandmother got dementia, she doesn’t remember me, even my mother and other people. I have to go to the funeral.

Hotel sleeper, It’s an interesting job that i’ve heard online. They only go to sleep and they can get money. It’s too easy to get money, so I think it’s interesting. Another reason is they can go another country and they can go on a trip. I think it’s more difficult than what I thought. They can experience all the five-star hotels for free.
