I’d like to talk about a good service which I received from thai restaurant. One year ago when I had a birthday, my friends held a birthday party for me in this party. It’s first time I had a meal there. The moment I walked into the entrance, I was impressed by its interior which has a special thai design. Most of furniture are made of wood and the wall is adorned with plenty of local elements, like dresses, masks.

It’s fair to say that the service provided here was the best I’d ever experienced. when the customers walk inside, every waiters and waitresses will welcome them in thai language with big smiles. For those awaiting for the tables, plenty are available to help them kill the time, like free snacks and drinks, all kinds of board games, and even manicure for ladies. Luckily, we booked the table in advance. A lovely girl dressed up the typical clothes led us to the table near the window, from which we can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside. Meanwhile, she brought us a pot of tea and the warm towels for cleaning our hands. The girl recommended us some specials. She really knows her things coz whatever we asked her, she could always give us the satisfying answers. During the meal, she came to our table quite often to help us replace the plates with the new one and got us some warm tea. Thanks to her, we had a really good meal. When we were about to pay the check, she also suggested some apps which could give us discount so that we got 20% off for the meal.

I really enjoyed their considerate service. Since then, as long as I have some events to celebrate with my friends, the restaurant is definitely my priority.

 

 

last year I got the first full-time job in my life so I invited some of my best bros to have a meal outside. I chose a nice restaurant catering for thai food cos all of us are fond of this type of food.

speaking of why it’s important to me, firstly I’d spent much time and efforts to the get the job. It was computer programmer of our smart phone. Well the company I applied for is an international technology company which offers the ideal salary so that it’s quite competitive to get it. I’d gone through 5 rounds of interviews. Unexpectedly, I got the offer finally. In addition, the main quarter is in shanghai which means I had to leave my hometown and fight for myself in a new city. Actually back to that time I was both excited and nervous. That’s why I held a party with my friends. In the following years, we might have few chances to meet each other.

We had a great time together. To my surprise, they prepared some nice gifts for me, like small gadgets, wallet and a watch. Meanwhile, they booked a big cake on the top of which they wrote good luck in red. The moment I saw, I was so touched. I’m glad that for these years I had their company. We’d been through ups and downs together. For me, they are like my real families. During the meal, we made a toast one after another to express our good wishes to each one. To be honest, on that day, I was a little bit drunk but I felt quite warm deep in the heart.

So generally speaking, that’s most memorable celebration/ meal I had.

 

I’d like to talk about a day I rarely spent money which is memorable experience. That happened on our trip in yunan with my friends last year. On the third day of our journey, we decided to a remote village which is said to have the stunning scenery. But there’s a problem that it’s not easily accessible by the public transport which means I might spend two days on the way to get there. So we mustered up guts to try a new way of travelling that is hitchhike. Actually we’d seen that a lot on some tv shows so we thought we could also give a shot. Then we walked to a motorway that leads to all directions and put our thumbs up. After a short while, to our surprise, a jeep stopped in front of us. When the windows rolled down, we saw a young couple who looked quite kind. After enquiring our destination, they warmly gave us a ride cos we headed for the same place. On the way, we chatted a lot. I learned that they were working in the big cities. But they were bored with the hustle and bustle city life so they quitted and opened a small lodge in that village. Though they couldn’t earn as much as before, they enjoyed the slow-pace life. On the way, they told us plenty of local legends or anecdotes and even pulled over on some stunning beauty spot where few tourists could find. We took lots of photos. In the evening, we arrived at our lodge and said goodbye to them. So you see, on that day, I didn’t spend any money. Until now, we still keep in contact with one another.

 

Plane – airport shuttle which provided door to door hotel.

The following days, the main transport we took was by bus. Because most attractions are far away from each other, we had to…on the way. Moreover, some aren’t accessible by the public transport so it’s pity we had no chance to get there.

Tried hitchhike.

Generally speaking, the trip was …/ but the next time,

 

as for what it looks like, the garden has a stunning natural scenery. There’s a river going through the park. The water is crystal clear and can reflect the white clouds and the blue sky when the sun comes out. In my childhood, my father took me to go fishing in the river. At the bank of the river, grow rows of willows which look greenery in summer. several pavilions are available constructed on the rockery for tourists to have a rest while enjoying the landscape. In the short distance, sit mountains where people usually go climbing on the nice days.

Speaking of what I can do there, there are plenty. For example, in spring I enjoy flying kites on the grassland with my friends. When I was kid, I used to make kites by myself and have a competition with my friends to see whose kite could fly higher. In winter when the temperature drops, the river turns into an impromptu ice rink where there are a lot of activities available, like skating, sleigh and so forth.

 

the time I spent in the park is the most important memories for me. It’s pity that we seldom/ rarely visit here cos I’m studying in another city. However, every time when I come back, I usually invite my friends to go jogging in the garden.

 

but these years, the park faces some serious problems. Firstly, I often see some uncivilized behavior. For example, some people don’t have sense of environmental protection, who just throw some rubbish on the river. So the lake isn’t as clear as it used to be. Few people would like to linger at the bank to appreciate the scenery. What’s more, some benches are occupied by the people who like to sleep and snore their leisurely afternoon away.

When it comes to how to make it better, the garden administration are supposed to put up some signs to warn people not to do some uncivilized behaviors. Otherwise they gonna get punishment or fine. Additionally, more benches should be placed cos the dominant tourists consist of the elders who are too feeble to walk for a long distance.

 

well, I’d like to talk about a street market called… which is located in the downtown of my city, around 20 minutes by bus from my home. The street is about 500 meters in the foot path with 50 stalls in total attracting thousands of people across the city.

The market is available from 7 pm to midnight so after dinner residents living nearby prefer to take a walk around.

 

Speaking of goods sold there, there are a variety, like all traditional snacks, modern outfits, the fashionable accessories all available in promotion. Another interesting thing that’s worth mentioning is that we can bargain with the owners so that we can get something in a low price.

 

All the vendors are locals and they treat everyone nicely. I also feel they are honest people and would never try to trick you when selling you something. Besides, no matter whether you take the goods or not, they all entertain you with the big smiles on their face. I’d say it’s a perfect place to fit in the locals and get known to the culture.

 

Last weekend, I went there with my friend and got a wallet made of leather in dark blue. There’s a badge on the front in the shape of lion. On the whole the wallet looks quite smart. The most satisfying is that I only paid 100 yuan for that which was the enjoyable shopping experience I had.

 

I’d like to talk about shanghai central building located in the pudong new area, the most prosperous district in hanghai. It’s the tallest building throughout china, 632 meters with about 120 floors.

The bottom 3 floors are the five-star hotels and the top is mainly for business companies, most of which are the international corporates because of the location and high price of renting. Most people know this building as the top viewing floor which is open to the public with the reasonable tickets. The place was equipped with large French windows in all directions so that customers can overlook the whole scenery of shanghai. The first time when I went there was last year with my friend. To be honest, I was a little bit afraid of height at the very beginning. But I have to admit that it’s the best spot to appreciate the city.

What makes it unique is that the build isn’t erected straight. It’s kind of like bamboo. When it gets dark, the led equipped outside the building was turned on which provides the sufficient illumination for the surrounding. In the far distance, you’ll notice the building. It’s become one of the landmarks and a place which most of tourists are gonna visit when coming to shanghai.

 

last labour’s day one of my father’s friends came to my home to visit parents. He settles down in America for a decade and works for a big international company. Coz he was on business trip back to china, he found time to visit my family.

 

hearing the news, my father was so thrilled. He did the cleaning of our house and decorated the wall with some photos. What’s more, he got some tea which was this uncle’s favorite. On the early morning, my mom went to the supermarket to buy the fresh fruits and vegetable. After coming back, she spent the whole morning in the kitchen preparing for all kinds of desserts. As for me, I helped them with something. In case they couldn’t find the location of our house, my dad and I went downstairs to pick them up. After a short while, he showed up with his wife and 3-year-old boy. To my delight, they also bought me a gift, a small electronical gadget. For lunch, we had hotpot which was also what the uncle loved. As he said, he hadn’t tried it for a long time since he moved to America. In the afternoon, they were busy catching up what was going on with one another. Sometimes I brought them some tea. But my main responsibility was to take care of the little boy while they were chatting. To be honest, the boy was a little bit annoying. For instance, he begged me to play some really childish games with him. As a host, I had to make sure that he had a good time. so I had no time to study. Additionally, he was quite curious about everything. I’d got a collection of toys based on my favorite superheroes. Without getting my approval, he took them out and played. What annoyed me most was that he took the spider man apart which is my favorite. But still I had to hold my temper with a smile.

In a couple of hours, they left. Although I like the uncle who is quite amiable and knowledgeable, I had to admit that the kid really wore me out.

 

speaking of why it can’t be learned at school, most schools in china aren’t equipped with swimming pool so students have no chances to take such lessons. But admittedly swimming is one of the best aerobic sports we have to master. First of all, it helps us build up our body, suitable for people of all ages. It doesn’t need any specialized equipment and it’s less likely to get injured. Moreover, it’s basic/fundamental skill which allows you to do some water-oriented activities, like surfing, diving kayaking and so forth.

As for how we learn it, firstly I recommend the new comers to try the breaststroke, the most simple one. Generally, how to hold breath is the first step. I know some of people are afraid of water and have no nerves to bury their face into water. So are my friends. When I was teaching them, I used to take them to play some interesting games like to have competition to see who could hold breath for the longest time. in this way, they gradually forgot their freight. The following step is to learn the gesture, like how to glide your arms and kick your legs. only when you know the correct movements, can you swim faster. Finally, it’s for the swimmers to combine the breath and gesture together. It’s quite normal that you can’t cover a long distance. But as the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. After an intensive training, everyone can do it well.

 

well, I remember one of my friends used to be afraid of water. He couldn’t get close the swimming pool, not mentioning swimming so I thought may I could make some contribution to helping him overcome the problem and taught him this basic skill.

In daily life when we get together, I always tell him some anecdotes happened on my trip to some seaside which aroused his desire to such places. Sometimes, especially on the hot summer, I take him to the water park to enjoy all kinds of interesting activities. Finally, with my continuous encouragement and inspiration, he decided to learn to swim. So I took him to the swimming pool near our home and started to become his swimming coach. The first step was also the toughest, how to hold breath and bury face in the water. In order to help him get rid of freight, I took him to play some hilarious games, like…
