Speaking exercise

Original:

Did you watch Liverpool against Barcelona last night? Which team do you support?

Recently I read news online, I saw very beautiful scenary in Gansu. In the past I have been to Gansu but I don’t know this place. I feel it’s a shame because I went to some famous scenaries I thought it’s not attractive, like XX Lake, the lake is very dirty. When I look into the lake, the lake is dark, but that lake is very clear. Since few people know the place, the lake look like heaven. It can make me feel relaxed. If I have a chance, I will go there. I went there by plane, I ordered from Chunqiu website. I stayed there for a week, I thought food is ok, I am not a fan of food. When I went there I know a famous place is called Yueya Spring, it’s a 人工 lake in the desert, however in my opinion it’s ok. When it comes to dusk, the colour of sunshine is very beautiful and feels warm.
