F2F Class Notes 28th November (Selma)

Corrections

I don’t know what the weather will be like.

Because my friend is currently visiting me in Shanghai – she will not be here in the spring.

She is always working works in Suzhou.

The main reason I plan to visit her in December, that is because I have one and half days of paid leave for this year.

I just have one and a half days of paid leave left in this year. 

I have always wanted to go there.

I don’t have friends who live there so far away. It’s too far away. 

I think it is a different place from the rest of China.

The temperature there, during the day, is very hot and warm  high, but during the night, it is very cold.
