VIP Class Notes (Vicki)

Review vocab and write one sentence for each word

I have been to Japan six times with my husband. We went to Tokyo in the first time with his colleagues, and the other next times, we went to Osaka, Okinawa and so on. I have a good impression of Japan. People were very kind when we asked them questions. The sea looks clean and sky is blue. The country has a wonderful set of traffic system that we could go to any place where we wanted to go. But I can’t stay at in Japan for over one weekend because I will miss Chinese food very much. I have tried to eat Chinese food in Japan when we have to spend more days for the holiday because of the bad weather. It was tasted terrible.
Compared with Japan, Korea is not good. I don’t want to go there anymore.
