F2F Class Notes (Sonia)

I went to Ningbo to go to visit my dentist for checking braces in Saturday, I wentusually go there once a month, but I didn’t to visit the city from July to now, So I had decided to visit some interesting places when I went to after  the hospital later. I checked them online, and had found three nice coffee stores and ice cream store ,the reviews said they are all good .
I arrived at the hospital at 12pm, I didn’t need to verb in line, because the dentist is my friend. Last time, he told me “According to the present situation , it will be taken off by July next year .” “I’m looking forward hopingto take off the braces in before July before “I said. He was thinking thought a moment and told me “I have a good way can to take them off it earlier, but you have to accept that it will be more painfully than before” ” ok, Just do it ” I directed answered (adverb: directly). Maybe I can save two months and take them off  by May next year. When I left the hospital it wasis 1:20pm, I went to the coffee store called ” Deep & blue coffee “, their store DNA used dolphins, they were making are made of by different materials and stay fourin different Corners in the store, it is really cute. I like their decorating style, there are looks sample and comfortable not too much stuff inside, there are six different pictures on the wall all about dolphins and sea. I ordered a cake and a cup of coffee, stayed there an hour and I decided to go to another stores. The second store called “SE.separer” it is too small , the store inside color is pink, there are several clouds on the top of the house roof. The third store with the second one is same, they are both belongs one person, just biggest than the second one, no something special in here.
So I spend half an hour to those two stores, and then I went railway station to back Shanghai.
