I needed to go to the hospital so I took the school bus. I saw that our school nurse got off at the same place. She asked me where I live. I said that I was not going home and she talked about the frustrations of life. My experience in the hospital was also frustrating. My hip pain had become severe. I spent 80 Kuai to see the doctor. He asked me to lie down on the bed and examined me for 1 minute. Then he suggested an x-ray and MRI. Even though I had had them before. I just didn't want to waste the resource. A former president of the Beijing Jishuitan Hospital had been taken into custody. Property valued at 300 to 400 million Yuan was discovered during the search of his residence. A Japanese friend asked me why I don't go to villages to be a farmer. I said China lost farmland. Motherland is restless.

Great. I especially like your use of reported speech. I don't know why you used the past perfect with "had been taken into custody." Does this paragraph relate to the paragraph before? We need another context in the past against which to contrast the past perfect when we use it. That context can be implied, but if you did imply one, I can't see it. Otherwise, fantastic work!
