Speaking exercise

Q: where do you get your happiness from?

If I can get off work on time I’ll be happy. And sometimes I like watching cartoon. It makes me happy. If I order a delivery, and the food tastes good, I’ll be happy. When I finish a project that is difficult, and I make more some progress on the project  and learned something, I’ll be happy. Recently I began to learn a new skill, which is to create animation. I think it is interesting. When I finish a small animation, I’ll be happy.

Q: what do you think of boys, dating and marriage?

I think boys and girls have different considerate thinking methods (ways of thinking). Sometimes I think when I talk about a topic, I always have more talks things to say with my girlfriends than with boys. When I face a problem, I always have different opinions than boys. I think dating is happy great. Because we can eating and shopping together, we are partner in crimes. I think marriage is a serious topic. If you are married, it means you need afford to take more responsibilities. Maybe marriage will take bring you more pressure from your parents or your husband. Because when you are married, you will have more identities roles, like being a mom. You need to learn to deal with more problems, and learn to master manage plans time management. You’ll not only need to finish your work, but also need to clean your room, or take care of your baby. I think it’s hard.
