The 4th time to visit Nanjing I have visited Nanjing again about 10 days ago, Nanjing was a capital city in ancient China. There are some museums in downtown and lots of famous poets were living there. It is kind of dusty, but I can meet some girls and a few men who were wearing Chinese traditional clothes, I like the feeling even if I don't know if they do like Chinese traditional culture or not. If the air is better, I will settle down there. I was joking with my friend, if I were born in the ancient time, I can dance and play zither to make a living.

The 4th time to visit Nanjing

I have visited Nanjing again about 10 days ago, Nanjing was a capital city in ancient China. There are some museums in downtown and lots of famous poets were living lived there. It is kind of dusty, but I can meet met some girls and a few men who were wearing Chinese traditional clothes, I like the feeling even if  ?Though?I don't know if they do like Chinese traditional culture or not. If the air is was better, I will would settle down there. I was joking with my friend that if I were born in the ancient times, I can could dance and play zither to make a living.


Nice work star. Your writing is very good and I can almost see Nanjing, you need to work a bit on your tenses though. You have mixed up the simple past and the past perfect a bit though. It is easily done - especially when you have to use them both side by side.


Remember - The simple past is used to describe an event that happened once and is now finished. It is the most popular past tense. eg. I visited Nanjing about 10 days ago.


I was joking with my friend that if I were born in the ancient times, I can could dance and play zither to make a living.


This can be a useful phrase to learn " If I were....Then I could". eg. "If I were rich, then I could buy a house", "If I were taller than I could play basketball".
