Translated text

Today is Monday, I and my friend have finally finished all the college exams. This summer vacation he will return to his hometown and will not come back to Beijing, so I don't know when we will meet again. To say a proper goodbye we went together to a famous hotpot restaurant for a meal. This is his first time eating hotpot, he is especially happy. He feels that what he likes most is the taste of beef and vegetables cooked in spicy soup. After finishing the meal, he said he would definitely come back to Beijing for hotpot in the future.
