I Wanna Talk-my life in UK 我在英国的生活

 I wanna talk about my life¹ in UK. I went to study in the UK a few² years ago. The most exciting experience³ is that I went to a host⁴ family for my Christmas holiday in December. I went there alone…on a train, it took⁵ me one or two hours to get there, to York and then I stayed there for one week. This was⁶ the first time that I spent time with a UK family which I learnt a lot from them. They treat⁷ me like a family member, they took me out to eat, to play and to see all the different interesting culture⁸ of their region⁹. On Christmas Day, they even¹⁰ bought me some presents to celebrate¹¹ the Christmas. 

 

When I went back to Oxford¹², which was the place that I stayed for that year, I had¹³ a chance¹⁴ to teach in a Chinese school every Sunday. The kids¹⁵ are about 14 years old and I taught¹⁶ them Chinese. They were all very cute but they all speak (spoke) in English. I spent lots of time to encourage¹⁷ them to speak in Cantonese. 

 

During¹⁸ my study (studies) in the UK, I lived with few other students from different countries. They are very nice and we use to cook on our own¹⁹ just like a big family. Every day we will go to…every day we went to supermarkets to buy food and drinks and desserts. We cooked every day…I was not a good cook, normally²⁰ I just put everything into oven²¹. And I’ve tried to bake²² a cake before but failed²³ and they all laughed at me. And every time when I bake a cake, they never taste it. We share²⁴ a flat together - we share kitchen, bathrooms but we do have our own sink²⁵ and bedroom. The life in the UK is quite relaxing²⁶ besides²⁷ study because you can explore²⁸ more and do different activities²⁹ at school or even some other extracurricular activities. 

 

After I come back (to) Hong Kong, I still keep in touch with all my friends in the UK, from different countries like Italy³⁰, Malaysia, Japan, UK and other countries. Sometimes we even send email(s) to each other, sometimes they may come to Hong Kong to visit and we will meet each other again. 

 

I really enjoy the time in the UK, I hope³¹ you will also have the chance to explore more in other different countries in the future³².
