Speaking exercise

the reason bad news is maybe i cant go back my hometown in holiday. maybe i need to spend it in shenzhen lonely or just with my dog or cat. i want to spend holiday with my mum and dad. recently there are lots of covid cases in the different provinces in china eg beijing xian, gd, hn, lots of. The baddest is xian but now xian is going better. I have 2 plans, the first one is i bought the flight ticket and if the policy is supported i will go back my hometown for holiday, the 2nd plan is i just spend the time in sz. I can have a meal with friends but it’s just 1 meal and i can’t spend 7 days with them. If i just keep the time i spent there, less than 6 days then i think it’s ok. My dad is like the chinese traditional father – he don’t like talk too much some i love you, i miss you or something like that. One month ago i took my cat and dog to the pet hospital and i helped them to do the annually health test. There are a lot of tests they did and the doctor checked out there is some problems about my dog’s kidney and I bought some medicine for him and after 3 weeks, i took him to the hospital again and the problem is gone.
