Written Exercise 180 – UNIVERSITY STUDENTS HAD THEIR TAKEOUTS STOLEN [I am practising on how to correctly describe the videos I watched with proper tenses] This afternoon, I was watching videos on a website on my phone and one was randomly recommended to me. It was filmed at a university in Xiamen city, Fujian province, China. In the video, several takeaways were placed on the ground in front of a fence of the university, which was supposed to be the food that the students had ordered and the deliverymen had put there. A cat approached the takeouts and smelt them for awhile. After that, it chose one of them and held one in the mouth, and then the cat ran away. How funny! Don't be angry immediately if your takeouts have been stolen. Your meals are probably taken by homeless cats or dogs!

Haha, I love this story! Thanks for sharing.

Suddenly, a cat approached the takeouts/snacks to smell them for awhile. After that, it chose one of them, held it in it's mouth and ran away. How funny!

It was filmed at a university in Xiamen, Fujian province, China (which is the best city in China!). In the video, several takeaways were placed on the ground in front of a fence around the university, which was food that the students had ordered and the deliverymen had put there. A cat approached the takeouts and smelt them for a while. After that, it chose one of them, took it in its mouth, and then ran away. How funny!

Interesting. Do you know which university?

It was filmed at a university in Xiamen city, Fujian province, China. In the video, several takeaways were placed on the ground in front of a university fence (avoid 'of' phrases if you can use adjective + noun instead), which was supposed to be the food that the students had ordered and the deliverymen had put there. A cat approached the takeouts and smelt them for a while ('while' = noun here). After that, it chose one of them and held one in its mouth, and then ran away. (I'm not sure here if it chose one and held it (the same one) in its mouth, or a different one. Can you rephrase?) How funny! Don't be angry immediately if your takeouts have been stolen.

So helpful of you to put the specific language point you were practising, Mao. Well done - your verb tenses are great (just check that last one - you'd used present perfect correctly in the previous sentence!). I hope my other corrections are useful. Please let me know if you have any questions about them :-)
