when I was a child I knew/thought that Santa was real but now i know/think Santa is not real.
Yesterday my husband wanted to eat noodles but I think they’re bad so I didn’t eat them.
It has been 2 months since the new restaurant opened, my friend and i spent a lot of time on it. The first month we promoted a few sets of food, then many people came to our shop, but a few days later the people who came became less. In the beginning people came to our shop maybe because it was a new shop, but then they thought the food choice was too little, so people became less and less. Then we changed the way immediately,and promoted more style taste to the customers and we grouped some foods into a special combo and many people like it, more and more people come to our restaurant now/these days.
