What is the best place to relax in our city on weekends? Here are three ideas.
I’m David Wang. I think Orange Island is the best place to relax in Changsha. It’s a beautiful place and I like to take a walk there on sunny evenings. I sometimes even dance with the old ladies, haha. After Metro Line 4 was opened in May, 65.从我家到那里只要花十分钟。More importantly, it is free for the old. How relaxing my life is!
I’m Ada Li. I like going to Shazhichuan Outlet in my free time. It’s one of the biggest shopping centers in Changsha now. 66. I can buy my favorite clothes and shoes at the best prices with the best service. If I’m tired, I can watch a movie at UME International Movie Theater. It has the most comfortable seats and the newest movies. 67. Of course, having a cup of milk tea at Sexy Tea(茶颜悦色) is a must-do activity for me. So I think it’s the best choice for housewives.
I'm Michelle Zhang. I think Reading Garden Bookstore is the best place to relax on weekends. Every Saturday after I finish doing homework, I go to the bookstore to read books with my sister. 68. 当我阅读一本好书时,它就像在和一个朋友说话。There are many kids reading books there. You can see in their eyes that they are having a different journey with each new book. 69. If you are a book lover, you can have a special and wonderful day there."
