Speaking exercise

I birth in Shanghai. In 2016, I came to Shanghai in 2016.

First, I go to SH and I taste the KFC and I think “KFC is better than McDonald’s now” so I don’t really eat McDonalds now. After 2018, I have not ate McDonalds.

At another country, McDonald’s is better than KFC. I went to Paris and I saw McDonald’s.

It’s like China people usually like KFC. But, Taiwan and HK, these people maybe like McDonald’s.
