原创： lucky girl 心梦旅行
Last month,
Paul went on a trip.
He went to Japan and China.
There were a couple of reasons
for the trip.
One reason for the trip
was for business.
He wanted to start some restaurants
in both countries.
The other reason was
for pleasure.
Paul enjoys traveling and
he wanted(wants) to visit some friends.
Before leaving on the trip,
Paul has several problems.
First,
his passport was(is) going to expire.
As a result,
he needed to apply for a new passport.
Second,
he needed to get a visa
to enter China.
In order to apply for a visa,
he needed his new passport.
He has six weeks
to get everything done.
After apply for a new passport,
it took two weeks to get it.
Once he got the passport,
he went to Chinese consulate tuanel
and apply for the visa.
He filled out an application form
and stood in a long line.
He was surprised by
how many people
were applying for the visas.
He took more than an hour
to submit his(that) application.
He submitted his(that) application
for the visa on a Friday.
A week later,
he went back to the consulate
take up this visa.
To his surprise,
when he got there,
the consulate was closed.
The consulate was closed
because it was a Chinese holiday.
Paul was angry at himself
not check in the consulate website.
On his website,
the consulate’s schedule was posted.
There was a notice saying
the consulate would(will)
be closed that day.
As a result,
Paul had come back the next Monday.
This was because
the consulate was closed on weekends.
Finally,on monday ,
he got the visa and ready to go.
