Writing exercise

My english teacher told me that he was frustrating because he had suffered from the footsore over a year. He said his left foot was dull pain when he walked a long time or after exercises and sometimes it was swollen. I thought maybe it was a tape of inflammation that didn’t infect by microbes. Sometimes I got cramp in my right leg after long time drive and it was so dangerous because I could hardly control the car. I reserved some plasters in my car that I could take it on my leg when I felt sharp pain. We also talked about the university that I worked in which was the one of the most famous university in shanghai before 1949 called St.John’s University and now it specializes in law and politics.
