我们的此次中国之行By Angela Ea 杨美玲And Sarah Ea 杨玉玲

Trip to China

In China, we went on various tours and saw

many interesting things, with my family.

learning Chinese definitely made

communicating with others a lot easier than

it would have been if we didn’t know how to speak the language at

all.We also visited some

distant relatives on my dad’s side of the

family.
