Speaking exercise

I will be regret.

Last time, I made a list on excel to see which matches were good.

At first my cousin told me the business is bad, you can touch and play with all the pigs. Now, it’s better to just play with the one nearby. Before I had cat and a dog, I always go there. I wanted to choose what cat  or dog I like. I hugged a Fench bulldog and I smelt some smelly smell so I asked the employee and he told me, “their stomach is bad so they always fart”.

I get married in young age, at that time it was 24. At that time, my mother tried to look for boys for me.
