Writing exercise

About one month ago, I went to a violin store to attend my first violin class. I like violin’s melody that sounds wonderful. I found this store on an app and it has lots of high opinions. I chosen the store not only it was close to the Shanghai conservatory of Music, and that has some older(资力较深的)musical teachers. A teacher played violin for a moment and taught me a little basic methods. When the class was over, they wanted me to buy a violin for the next class. I liked violin so much even though it was expensive, so I bought one. On my way home, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I checked the expense of violin on Taobao, a lot of goods was much cheaper than mine. I thought I must be cheated, so I used as an excuse to refunds.
