Speaking exercise

First day I meet Ally and I just have a straight thing that she is a lion, her action.

My best friend in Ningbo also like this.

My cousin is 55 years old and she is a very successful businesswoman.

In this period, I have some trouble in my family so I will find some friends go to bar for couple of drinks.

I remember last two years and three years on New Years day there was an incident and people were killed. My classmate, very big guy, he could not walk on that day.

I just think not everyone needed to get married, if you have a lot of time, you can share with family or other friends. I think it’s okay. China now is changes the marriage law again, so getting a divorce is hard.
