Speaking exercise

I saw a box, the material is, it’s made of white plastic. I hope it full of water, but it is full of oil. I thought it was dropped by a plane. They just dropped it. Night is coming. I fired it. After a while, there’s a guy that came to me, he wore red clothes and mask. He has a bottle of water, he sells it to me and I have no money. So I argued with him, finally I killed him and take the water.

An elephant suddenly happened in this place. He has long tooth, it’s curly. He’s not belong here. It’s 5 meters high, he shouted to me. He wants to conquer you. It’s an angry elephant. I run away.

It’s an endless ladder, you can go through the weather (the clouds), raining, sunshine, on the clouds, there is a kingdom. It’s in the center of a lake.

You can see it right in your front, you cannot touch it because it’s 海市蜃楼. In the lake, there’s a 鳄鱼. It’s a silent lake. But you don’t know where it is (the real lake). You can see the natural way, the birds, animals and the waves.

It’s storm, with icy… It lasts the whole night, the next day, it becomes a sea. It stops and at night it happens again.
