F2F Class Notes _23rd May (Harmony)

Tell me about the last vacation you took.

Original:

Actually I went to Hong Kong last week, but it’s not my vacation cause I went there for work actually.  Cause there’s a training in our hong kong office.  So actually our admin team bought the flight ticket for me.  They booked the boarding time was 7:20am, so I had to wake up earlier than before like around 5am, I have to get up and take a car to the airport.  Pudong international airport, so it’s really far away from my home.  My flight , it was fortunate, that my flight wasn’t delay.  So I can get to the office in Hong Kong on time.  Then I just have, they put lots of things into my schedule.  So I have no time to maybe for go shopping, or go sightseeing.  To be honest I have some friends in Hong Kong so at first I just want to call them and ask them to go out for dinner but I don’t actually have time.  So maybe go to Hong Kong next time, I hate business trip.  I stayed there from last Friday to last Sunday, 3 days.  The hotel was really really really tiny.  Hong kong is not so big, even Shanghai is bigger than Hong Kong.  Actually I got lots of information about my companys products, because they have some training for me.  And next week we will have a exhibition in Shanghai so I will be there and I need support our sales team so I need to learn something about this product so I can help them to sell it.  Or maybe just introduce to other customers there.

Actually I went to Hong Kong last week, but it wasn’t a vacation because I went there for work. There was training at our Hong Kong office. Our admin team bought the flight ticket for me. Tboarding time was 7:20am so I had to wake up earlier than usual, like around 5am.  I had to get up and take a car to the airport.  Pudong international airport is really far away from my home. It was fortunate that my flight wasn’t delayed, So I got/arrived to the office in Hong Kong on time. They put lots of things into my schedule so I was sad that I didn’t have time to go shopping, or go sightseeing. I have some friends in Hong Kong, so at first I just wanted to call them and ask them to go out for dinner but I didn’t actually have time.  So maybe I have to go to Hong Kong next time by myself, I hate business trips.

I stayed there from last Friday to last Sunday, 3 days.  The hotel was really really really tiny.  Actually I got lots of information about my company’s products, and next week we will have an exhibition in Shanghai so I will be there and I need support our sales team.
