He stayed in London for 5 years, his English is very well so every time we booked uber or we buy something and so on he runs the first. We have no chance and another interesting thing is another friend he bought a translator machine. it cost him more than 3k he didn’t use it all the time. This translation has a very powerful function he not only can translate Chinese to English but also local languages.

So my major responsibility / task was to make the ppt.
Before I went to the US I thought I would have a good chance to exercises my English speaking but I did not. Because I was with 2 good friends. One of them graduated from London. He stayed in London for 5 years, his English is very good so every time we booked a uber or we buy something and so on he handled everything. We had no chance to speak and another interesting thing is another friend bought a translator. It cost him more than 3k he did not use it at all / he did not use it even once. This translator has a very powerful function, it not only can translate Chinese to English but also local languages / dialects.
We laughed at him and joked that he was carrying hearing aid. including the time on the airplane the total would be 14 days.
