VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [S]

because of my work I met me customers. I always get up at 6 o’clock. I need to / must buy 7 o’clock high speed train to nanjing because I start working at 9 o’clock. So, I have my breakfast in starbucks at the high speed train station. My favourite breakfast is americano and a kind of muffin. The high speed train to nanjing takes 1 hour. I get off the train and then I walk downstairs to the subway station to take the subway to my customer’s office to meet them. I start working and I finish working at 5.

I took a train from Shanghai to Nanjing on the 24th and it took 2 hours to get there. The train stopped about 3 times on the way. Our station was the last stop. We spent 2 days in Nanjing and then took the train back to Shanghai. We were both very tired at the end of the trip but we decided to go to Hangzhou the next day. The train to Hangzhou took less time to arrive – about 1 hour. We had a really nice trip celebrating Christmas, but it is good to be back in Shanghai.
