Original

I will tell you this week my plan.  Tomorrow after work I will do yoga and Friday I haven’t arranged anything.  Maybe I will go to hair salon, maybe Friday.  And Saturday in the morning I will go to see dentist and in the afternoon I will go to learn drive, and that night after that I will go to beauty salon for facial.  Sunday I think I will play badminton.  This is my one week plan.

Why do you want to learn to drive?

I want to get a driver’s license.  I think this is a skill, and at first I should have this skill and in the future I will buy a car, so I should get a driving license at first.  Our company is in Zhabei, it is not in downtown, so a lot of my colleagues have cars.

Driving is a valuable skill, once I get a driving license I can get a car and I really want a car in the future.  But of course, first I need a license!

Find an episode of Seinfeld and watch it!  Please write about it.  If you can’t find an episode of Seinfeld, then write about a holiday you want to do in Australia (I recommend White Haven Beach).
