Original:

Last April I went to Budapest, it is Hungry’s capital. It’s a quiet city for live. I have met an American people, he told me he liked live in here because the price here is not high and the environment is very good. It’s true, when I in Vienna, the food was very expensive, even I didn’t like to go to a restaurant. But in Budapest, I went to a few restaurants, the food was not bad and it just took me around one hundred yuan per meal. It’s like Shanghai’s price. Another thing I like to say is the view in Budapest. It’s very beautiful, I like the bridge over the Danube, I remembered one of the bridge is green and it is made of steel. It’s different of Chinese bridge is there are some platforms on the bridge. You can have a rest on there. When I crossed there, I found some your guys stay there and talked with each other hands a bottle of beer. It felt good. I also saw a old man on the bridge, I thought he was a beggar liked in China. Because near his body there was a cup. When I near him I found I were wrong, he was reading a book and near his body was a cup of coffee. That really shocked me and gave me a deep impression.

Another thing I would like to tell you about/mention/talk about is the view in Budapest. It’s very beautiful, I like the bridge over the Danube.  I remembered one of the bridges is green and it is made of steel. It’s different from Chinese bridges because there are some platforms on the bridge, where you can have a rest. When I crossed there, I found some young guys staying/sitting there and talking with each other with/holding a bottle of beer. It felt good. I also saw an old man on the bridge, I thought he was a beggar liked in China because near his body there was a cup. When I walked near him I found I was wrong, he was reading a book and near his body was a cup of coffee. That really shocked me and gave me a deep impression.

Debate: a friendly competition where each person tries to change other’s minds/ give their different opinion.
