Speaking exercise

I went to Venice in May to see the Biennale, and many famous artists went there to enter the famous art show, I looked around two locations there, maybe 35 countries joined the Biennale, i didn’t find the Chinese exhibition, and I didn’t see the Korea. Many amazing art installation. it’s the artist not only show their painting techniques, they want to show their ideas. I think this is really art. We must buy tickets. During this days, the whole Venice full of artists and buyers. The artists set up their galleries there. I think one day maybe have 10 gallery openings.

I went to Beijing for my work. I will go to America to enter the Burning Man, we have two tickets, my little sister and I will go there. I must prepare many things to Burning Man, because it is a desert and has nothing there. There are sandstorm maybe there, so we must prepare the professional face mask and coats. We will meet my American partner there. So it is half work half. travel. Martin is a Germany, but he lives in LA many years, he is 50 years old. He lives in Holland and with three cats. He said he is business man, he always fly around the world, he owns many licenses of the exhibitions, so he sells them and sets up many exhibition in many countries. I am his asia partner.

Revised

I went to Venice in May to attend the Biennale, and many famous artists went there for the famous art exhibition, I looked around two locations there, around 35 countries joined the Biennale, i couldn’t find the Chinese exhibition nor the Korean one. There were many amazing art installations. it’s the artists not only show their painting techniques, they want to show/express their ideas. I think this represents art. We must buy tickets. During these days, the whole Venice was filled with artists and buyers. Many artists set up their galleries there. I think one day there may have 10 gallery openings.

I went to Beijing for my work/ I went on a business trip to BJ. I will go to America for/to participate in the Burning Man, we have two tickets, my little sister and I will go there together. I must prepare many things to go to the Burning Man, because it is located on a desert and has nothing there. There may be a sandstorm, so we must prepare the professional/specialized face mask and coats. We will meet my American partner there. So it is half business half leisure. Martin is a German, but he lives in LA for many years, he is 50 years old. He lives near Hollywood with his three cats. He said he is business man, he always flies around the world, he owns many licenses of the exhibitions, so he sells them and sets up many exhibitions in many countries. I am his partner in Asia.
