Corrections

Original:

Today was Double 11, I thought the popular topics were what did you buy and how much did you spend? The ladies should be very crazy and most of them went to sleep over midnight last night, of course included me. This morning when I came into the office, I found that there were only a few people. They talked about the products they bought and exchanged the promotion information of which product was much cheaper.

Today is Double 11, so the most popular topics  of the day are “what did you buy” and “how much did you spend?”. The ladies always go crazy during this holiday and most of them, including me, went to sleep after midnight last night. This morning when I came into the office, I found that there were only a few people there. They talked about the products they bought and exchanged promotional information about which products were the cheapest.
