F2F Class Notes (Phoebe)

Speaking exercise

Original:

Last Saturday we traveled to Li’an City in Zhejiang Province. We went there by car for four hours. I felt uncomfortable when we are all sitting in the car, because I got car-sick. Actually I bought motion-sickness pills before travelling. But I didn’t take it. I was afraid of there are some problems because I got vaccinated a few days ago.

We had lunch as soon as we arrived there. The meal was very delicious. They were all organic green food that the host planted by herself. In that afternoon, we played with glasses rafting. First we sat in the rubber dinghy, then it was sliding in the glasses track with the water for three minutes. After that we played with white water rafting for around two hours. It was more exciting than glass rafting.

In the second day, we challenged walking in the sky, it was very difficult for me. Because I am very scared when I am in the high area. I wanted to give up in the middle of the —, but my boss always encouraged me, finally I completed the challenge.

I found my skin got 变黑, 即使 I put on the cream.
