Original:

Yesterday I told Jesse that I wanted to rebuild my parents house. In fact that was my dream and I had this plan for many years. When I was in college, I had dreamed about it for many times. Now, I think I have this ability to do it. I can design and I have a little money. I persuaded my mother to agree it. Now she supports me to do it and she also does some information gathering work. Like inquiry and ask the policy of old and dilapidated houses. I was excited to do this work so I woke up earlier this morning. I took a shower and had breakfast then I took a taxi to the bookstore because I need to learn something from the book. I’m also designing a bathroom for one of my company’s distributor now, so I need to collect more information about this. I really found a good book and I brought it.
