i want to go back to my school!
I regret what I said in my last diary. I can't wait to go
back to Shanghai! I am at hometown on my winter vocation.It's so colllllllllllllllld. There are no heating, no air-condition. The only thing I have to warm myself is an electronic water-heater. In my whole day, It'sthe most enjoyable time when I take a hot bath. But now, my only chance to enjoy myself is gone.
At our hometown, we usually set a big iron can, which is used for water storage, on our roof. Our water is from underground, which results in its low pressure. So we need to pump it higher firstly. and then the water pressure will be higher. OMG.I wrote so many words just want to explain why there are a big, iron can in my roof? Ok, let's get right to the point now. I have a can. My water is all in it. But this morning, all of it changed into ice!
I have no water to use, let alone take a hot bath.
I want to go back to Shanghai! Immediately!

Thank you for your entry--I'm sorry you're cold, but it was an interesting story for me to read, and you have a fun writing style. I hope you get to take a warm bath soon!
One of the corrections I made I had to look up. I knew how to say it, but I didn't know why! You wrote "There are no heating, no air conditioning." "Are" is plural, and you talk about 2 things, so it seems like that should be correct. But when you make a list, the prepositions refer to each noun individually, not the whole list.
"Heating" or "heater", and "air-conditioning" or "air-conditioner" are singular nouns. (Both are correct.)
The plural would be "heaters," or "air-conditioners." So there IS no heating, and there ARE no heaters.
I'm not a professional teacher, so if anyone has a different opinion or explanation, please comment!
