Speaking exercise

Describe something you are good at. You should say
what it is
how often you do it
how you learned it
and explain why you think you are good at it.

I think I’m good at thinking about things carefully. When I encounter a problem in daily life, I will know how to do it, 1234. I will know the result clearly. I will pay more attention to details of the things. Lots of times, I consider it out of nature. When I was young, I also can consider things . My daughter, she was only 3 years old, she can think about things out of nature too. So I think it’s personality. My husband is a person who is opposite of me, when we met a problem at the same time, we will have different methods to solve it. Sometimes I will tell him, if you do that, you will meet some problems later, and he doesn’t believe it, but most of times, the results are what I say before.
