I \u521a\u624d\u5230\u5bb6<\/strong> (just got home) from Beijing for a week to see the \u6bd5\u4e1a\u5178\u793c <\/strong>(graduation ceremony) of my oldest sister.\u00a0 Needless to say, when I knocked on the door she\u00a0 \u5403\u60ca<\/strong> (was surprised).\u00a0 On the flight over from Beijing, one of the \u7a7a\u59d0<\/strong> (stewardesses) was going to \u9000\u4f11<\/strong> (retire) and this was her final \u822a\u73ed<\/strong> (flight).\u00a0 On the ride over, the \u706f\u6ce1<\/strong> (lightbulb) near my seat wasn’t working, so whenever I tried to read I’d practically \u5934\u6655<\/strong> (get dizzy).<\/p>\n
