Storytelling: continued SL trip

The train ran slowly while I was watching the sea, and I enjoying it.  I haven’t experienced anything like this before.  I think maybe I don’t won’t have this experience ever again.  The town we arrived was very poor and small.  But our hotel is comfortable, we lived in the first ground and in the morning when we open the windows we can see the sea and sunshine.  After breakfast we walked along the seaside and took a lot of photos.  I think that’s my good memory.  We also went to the wild park to look for the wild animal.  Although we didn’t found any animals besides elephant, we felt happy and excited.  SL is a simple and a little poor country, but most of products are expensive than Thailand.  And the seafood was not fresh but it also very expensive.  During the trip we made a lot of friends from different cities of China.  We played together and got much fun.  Before we arrived Shanghai we exchanged wechat.  I think friendship is very important in our lives.

After breakfast we walked along the seaside and took a lot of photos.  I think that’s a good memory/ I think that’s my favorite memory from that trip.  We also went to wild animal reserve to visit wildlife.  Although we didn’t find any animals, besides elephants, we felt happy and excited.  SL is a simple and a poor country/SL is a very poor country, but most of products are expensive than Thailand.  And the seafood was not fresh but it also very expensive.  During the trip we made a lot of friends from different cities of China.  We played together and got much fun.  Before we arrived Shanghai we exchanged wechat.  I think friendship is very important in our lives.

Lived vs. stayed

Live – makes it sound like you live there permanently

Stay – temporary

A reserve:  a way to protect animals in a more natural way… not a zoo.

Tusk:  the large ivory bones that come out of an elephant.
