Original:

We are planning a short trip next week with our friend’s family. The destination is Hangzhou and we will drive there. I think it is a wonderful place. The food is delicious but economic, the view is so beautiful that like paintings, the pace of life is slow and peaceful. I want to order a nice hotel with good location, but our friend don’t think it is worthy much money on it. I hope we can reach an agreement this week.
