Pronunciation

Original:

Presently I have a plan that wanna go to Ningxia province for my vacation. Because I haven’t been there before, but a lot of friends showed me their picture and their experience about that place. I think when I want to start my own business I should make a plan to travel around of China, which is a go to a lot of different province that I haven’t go there before. I also wanna to Xingjiang, but I can’t find the other guy to go there with me. I worry about security, so I want to find at least three or four people to go there together, but for now no one wanted to go there. On the other hand, traveling is a good way to release pressure from working environment. As me, I always do a lot of things. My friends told me “you looks busy and tired, you should find a free time to rest and go a lot of place”.

Presently I have a plan to go to Ningxia province on vacation. I have never been there, but a lot of friends showed me their pictures and talked about their experiences there. I think that now that I am starting my own business I should take some time to travel around of China, and visit all the different provinces that I haven’t yet been to. I also wanna to Xinjiang, but I can’t find other people to go with me. I worry about safety, so I want to find at least three or four people to go there together, but for now no one has agreed to join me. Traveling is a good way to release pressure from the work environment. I, for example, always do a lot of things. My friends always tell me that I look busy and tired, and that I should find free time to rest and go to a lot of places.
