Very good Jasmine ! Pretty funny text ^_^

Pay attention to the difference between want and need. They’re very different

Want = 想，希望

Need = 需要，必须

Original

I had hot pot with my family yesterday. But if you want have hot pot at home you want prepare food by yourself. So I got up early and went to vegetable market with my mother. You know vegetable market have many old women and you can’t touch and crowd them. If you do that congratulations you have big trouble. They will push you a side,roll they eyes at you and say some bad words. So I just stood a side and saw my mother bargain with vendors. If you meet somebody you know them. That’s the worst part you can’t do anything,have no idea and wait for them talk over. You don’t know how long will they talk maybe a century.

I had hot pot with my family yesterday. But if you want have hot pot at home you need to prepare food by yourself.

So I got up early and went to the vegetable market with my mother. You know vegetable market have many old women and you can’t touch or push them.

If you do that congratulations you are in big trouble. (expression: to be in trouble)

They will push you aside,roll their eyes at you and say some bad words. (aside = one word, 他们的 = their)

So I just stood aside and saw my mother bargain with vendors. If you meet somebody you know them, that’s the worst part : you can’t do anything, have no idea and wait for them to finish talking .(宾语 = somebody, 不要加 them)

You don’t know how long will they talk… maybe a century.
