Last year, I went to a town to visit my friend John. When we took a walk on the street, I saw many teahouses. Then we walked into Fenglai Teahouse. [ɪn][fækt], it is one of the oldest teahouses in the town. In Fenglai Teahouse, everything was as [ˈprɪtɪ] as a picture. There were very big seats made of wood, so we could sit [ˈkʌmfətəbli] in this teahouse.
[aɪ ˈwʌndə wɒt laɪf wɒz laɪk hɪər ɪn ðə pa:st].
John told me that teahouses were the most popular places in his town. In the teahouses, people can forget their worries and enjoy themselves. I also found more people played Chinese chess and card games here than those in other places. What [fænˈtæstɪk]places the teahouses are!
