VIP Class Notes 11th April (Jesse) [W]

Yesterday I went to Suzhou and it was a rainy day. I wore a pair of sport shoes. The rain was pretty big. When I went out I thought I wore a wrong shoes, but I was in a hurry to catch a train so I didn’t return to change my shoes. As I thought when I walked to the ticket hall I walked in a small puddle and my shoes got wet. I thought may be when I went to indoor my shoes would get dry. Unfortunately until I came back to Shanghai my shoes were still wet. So when I arrived in my room I took off my shoes and put my foot on the warm water as soon as possible.
Theses years I really care about the weather and climate.

Yesterday I went to Suzhou and it was a rainy day so I wore a pair of sport shoes. The rain was pretty big so when I went out I thought I wore the wrong shoes, but I was in a hurry to catch a train so I didn’t return to change my shoes. As I thought, when I walked to the ticket hall I stepped in a small puddle and my shoes got wet. I thought, maybe, when I went indoors / inside my shoes would get dry. Unfortunately until I came back to Shanghai my shoes were still wet. So when I walked in my room I took off my shoes and put my feet in the warm water as soon as possible.
These years / days I really care about the weather and climate.
