it was so tired -> it was tiring / I was so tired
in the past I liked it but now it is ok  . Now I don’t enjoy that so much  / I don’t like it as much as before/ my interest has faded.

If there is nothing to do I like to travel but if we are the host I don’t like. / if a business trip doesn’t require me to prepare anything I enjoy it / if traveling for work doesn’t bring me extra work I enjoy it…

sometimes I like traveling by myself for myself no work and no other person / travel for leisure but I don’t like the feeling of being alone / I don’t like loneliness  so I will travel with colleagues or friends.

I have been to many places.
I don’t have a list of places to travel to / I am very spontaneous when I travel

In the past I was not spontaneous but this year I can do that.

He went back to HK

I don’t have the HK id card.

The time limitation / the time limit / the visa duration is for 7 days but now you need a 14 day quarantine / you need to undergo a 14 day quarantine so it can’t match the rules so we can’t travel.
Only HK people / hong kongese  can go back to their hometown

if you are hongkongese it is not possible but if he were in mainland he would be able to (conditional)

I want to travel abroad but I can’t go anywhere.

I remember yesterday I saw the news said that HK and mainland and Macao have discussed the travel rules.
They said they want to relax the travel rules  / establish a travel corridor/travel bubble

I am preparing the CATTI test.
if you pass you can get a certificate of translator.

Now I just want to express my English.
It has 2 types one is writing and one is oral English.
if you just want to be a translator for documents you can choose this one.

I don’t have the sense of English there are many paragraphs you need to translate. It is more than 800 words so this is difficult.

it is the first difficult for me -> the main difficulty

It describes a person who is look gorgeous and he participated in activities and in this meeting he showed something…

In 2017 I attend the test/ I felt I am good at writing.
unfortunately I only passed 1 of the 2 modules so I failed.

the first module is a multiple choice test and it includes the grammar and vocabulary and it will give you context and after you read the context there are some multiple choice question.
the second module is the translation

I passed by a few points  and for the other I failed by a few points

If I had been able to transfer points between modules I would have got the certificate (3rd conditional)

I believe in myself

If I had a meeting tonight I wouldn’t attend the lesson

If I felt guilty I would make trouble.

If I had a drug to live forever I would earn a lot of money

If I owned a private island I would host parties everyday.

if I had passed the test I would have joined the translator association
if I had become the n1 translator I would have finished my dream to be a translator
if I had felt bored of life I would have tried new creative things  / I would have explored new things
