F2F Class Notes 12th September (Tony) [2]

Our company hold a mid-autumn festival activity in a big house which located in sheshan; which is a lush place situated far south corner of Shanghai. the house was well maintained and the scenery was pristine outside. We spent a very meaningful time there, preparing dishes with no maid. It’s commonplace for Chinese to get together to have a party in traditional festivals. However there was something bad occurred. Many colleagues of mine had a sore throat during the day because of the bad smell of the materials in the house. and we moved to the garden outside to have some fresh air, so we don’t overexert our lungs. Based on what I heard environment in the house is of great importance for the health of human beings. Actually it’s difficult for us to tell good materials and bad ones apart, but there are still loads of ways to distinguish scientifically. Actually for ordinary people it’s too hard.
