VIP Class Notes (Nemo)

Writing exercise

My recently holiday
In this opportunity we didn’t go to Spain. We though to have a different experience for Christmas and also New Year, so we decided to go to New Zealand and a few days in Sidney.
I will want to tell you everything about how I felt and everything I saw there, but as my vocabulary words in English is too short. Sometimes it’s very difficult for me to express (to say) it, but really it’s my fault. I haven’t reviewed my notes enough. I should think about it.
December 20 afternoon, we left from Shanghai to Guangzhou, we had there a second connection, because in Shanghai airports didn’t have a fly directly to NZ.
it was a long night.
How is NZ according my perspective?
It’s a great treasure hidden in the best place in the world.
It’s full of colorful and beautiful lakes, giant montains, forest, jungles, glaciers with millions of years, that so far survive. And taking about millions, also I found millions of sheep and cows.
There you have peace and quiet for everywhere.
It’s really wonderful place and it can to boast of it.
