My holiday
Yesterday is was the second day of the May Day holiday, I visited my grandparents and went shopping with my dad and mum.
We brought (1) bought some fruits first and then drove to my grandparents' home. My grandparents were very glad to have us here there, my grandfather even sent (2) gave me a set of Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties. We sat together to have a hearty meal and chatted a lot about recent living activities. In the Aafternoon we left to do some shopping. I meant to buy a pair of shoes, but eventually I got two T-shirts. It looked like it is was going to rain, so we went to dinner. That meal was delicious, but when we asked a dish about the time to eat how a particular item on the menu tasted, the waiter said "sorry, I'm not sure, I haven't have it before". He said he could not afford it! Though it just sounds sounded like he was a kidding, dunno why, I actually had lower appetite (3) suddenly lost my appetite...
(1) brought = carried, conveyed. bought (past tense of 'buy')= purchased, paid for.
(2) sent = implies that the item was mailed, or delived. gave = suggests that he handed it to you, in this sentence.
(3) actually had a lower appetite... will be understood, it is more common to hear 'suddenly lost my appetite'.
Very well done Simon! Excellent use of the slang term 'dunno'.
