The most interesting thing I did during the holiday.

by

There was actually two interesting things that happened during the holiday.

——————–1. The Subway ————————-

Me and my family went to Shanghai during the holiday. I tried the subway in Shanghai at Monday, and the traffic shocked me: There was two long lines of people (which already lines up to the turning place) at the place where you swipe the subway ticket, and while you swiped the tickets, the engine will make an ear-piercing, electrical sound, and there was too many people swiping their tickets which obviously will make the sound occured continuously like a fire alarm. And after that, I went downstairs, and I saw loaded of people rushing downstairs.

I actually thought that there will be less people on the subway, at least there was places for us to hold to help us balance ourselves. But when the subway came, my jaws opened again. Everyone was literally squeezing together, there was even not enough space for you to stand. When I went inside, my face nearly sticked on the subway door. Sadly, I still need to stay at this subway for 30 minutes before I can finally free myself from this subway.

On the subway, well… there was nothing fun, I was sticking with the door for the entire trip, but when I watch through the door’s reflection, I saw many interesting people watching on their phone, which was obviously not fun at all. When the subway arrived at my station, I rushed outside, thinking this 30 minutes subway trip was probably one of the scariest trip in my whole life, and lesson was: during the weekdays, the subway will turned into a human beings “traffic jam”.

———————-2. The typo———————–

Me and my sister played a socializing game during the holiday, which is kind of like chatting online and interacting with each other. My sister knew I hated some specific subjects, so she was mentioning this thing all the time just trying to make me throw up.

Me, of course, feeling extremely speechless, but then I saw a red poppy beside me, which reminded me of the red poppies in The Flanders Fields (it symbolizes death, I guess?).

Then I picked it up, and wrote “This is a red puppy, it means death”

My sister looked at the words, and typed “puppy” , I looked at her, and she was trying hard to hold back her laughter, which seemed super suspicious.

And then I turned back and look at what I typed previously, looking for errors, and then…(yeah right “red puppy”, that supposed to be “red poppy”.) Well I always do typos when I chat online, but this typo was definitely the most outrageous.

  1. Thanks for sharing Jessie!
    It’s nice to read about specific incidents rather than generic ‘played computer games and ate dumplings’ reports. It is also good to see you referencing what we studied in class 🙂

    As your English teacher, I ought to point ought that there are a couple of language issues:
    1. Some of your ‘was’ should be ‘were’. Check this.
    2. You’ve used ‘me’ in the subject position a couple of times – should be ‘I’. Stylistically, ‘My family and I’ is generally preferred over ‘I and my family’ (same goes for ‘my sister and I’).
