It was the Chinese valentine's day the other day. It was used to call "Qixi's day" by Chinese. My husband and I went to the shopping mall nearby first. He bought a beautiful dress for me. It costed ¥550. It almost took my husband a week's salary! Although it was a little expensive for us. I was still very happy. Passing a flower shop, he bought a bouquet of flowers given to me as a Qixi's Day gift. Then we went to the candy store and bought a box of heart-shaped chocolate. Finally, we went to a restaurant to celebrate our Valentine's Day. What a happy day!

    Chrisa,
    Bob already mentioned things, he made good observations.
    One suggestion:  the phrase "it almost took my husband a week's salary"  try rephrasing it.  Something like:  "It almost cost my husband a week's worth of his salary."
    Sounds like you had a great day.  Happy Qíngrénjié!

    Thank you very much, Orlando. This sentence that you and bob all have talked about  have made me a little headache. Now, I understand. Thank you very much.

    Great job, Chrisa!  Here is your writing with some of Bob's changes and some of my own:

    Yesterday was the Chinese Valentine's day. The Chinese used to call it "Qixi's Day".  First, my husband and I went to the nearby shopping mall.  He bought a beautiful dress for me.  It cost ¥550, almost a week's salary for my husband!  Although it was a little expensive for us, I was still very happy.  Passing a flower shop, he bought a bouquet of flowers which he gave me as a Qixi's Day gift.  Then we went to the candy store and bought a box of heart-shaped chocolates.  Finally, we went to a restaurant to celebrate our Valentine's Day. What a happy day!
