VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Writing exercise

Today I didn’t arrange a lot of things. In the morning I went to the beauty salon to clean my skin. After that I had lunch with one of my friends. When we finished lunch, my friend suggested we went for a walk, and she asked me:” do you want to just walk on the road or go to a park?” I chose to go to a park. Then we went to Jing An sculpture park, when we walked in there we noticed Shanghai Nature History Museum was in here. So I suggested to look around. The adult ticket was thirty Yuan. It’s a amazing place that we can see thousands of animal specimens, and if you’re an animal lover, you would’t miss it. Through the whole visit, I always said it was amazing, but my friend looked not a big fan of it, she was interesting in watch the video on the iPad. I said I know you’re interested in the things that can move, liked you like watching movies. She said yes, but even this she still accompanied me visited the whole museum, and she even changed her dance class’s time. Before she booked the class was 5pm and she changed it to 6pm. She was so nice.
