Speaking exercise

tell me about your last trip 

Four months ago, I went to London with my husband. I think London is amazing place. I like everything about it. Four years ago, I want to go to London continue my major but I’m married so I gave up. My husband always say, if you want to continue study, you should go to America. I truly love London, except everything too expensive. Before I went to London, I think Japan is the most expensive, like their taxi, food. BUT when I arrived in London, it was shocked me. We took taxi from airport to hotel, we spend 1000 rmb. Another day, we took subway, it’s public transportation, just three stations spent 50 rmb one person. The food is expensive, we want to eat some Chinese food so we found dumplings. One dumplings 20 rmb, it’s not the most expensive, 20 is average.

Four months ago, I went to London with my husband. I think London is an amazing place. I like everything about it. Four years ago, I wanted to go to London to continue my major but I got married so I gave up. My husband always says, if you want to continue with your study, you should go to America. I truly love London, except the fact that everything is too expensive. Before my trip to London, I thought Japan was the most expensive, like their taxi, food. BUT when I arrived in London, the high expenses shocked me. We took taxi from the airport to the hotel, we spent 1000 rmb. The other day, we took subway, although it’s public transportation, we spent 50 rmb per person for  just three stations. The food is also expensive, we wanted to eat some Chinese food so we had dumplings. One dumpling is 20 rmb, it wasn’t even the most expensive one, 20 rmb is just the average price.Â
