I’m good at playing soccer. When I was young, I usually went out to play soccer in summer vacation. Despite it was very hot, I’m very happy to do it. I usually do it with my old neighbors to play soccer. It made me good feel. When I went back to school, I’m easy to play with my classmates. I can score 3 goals. If the match is long, I can score 7 goals, because I’m always in the front or middle.

I’m good at playing soccer. When I was young, I played soccer in the summer vacation. Despite the hot days, I was very happy to play it. I usually play it with my neighbors to play soccer.  I improved a lot . When I went back to school, it was easy for me to play with my classmates. I could score 3 goals. If the match is long/if it’s a long match, I could score 7 goals, because I was always in the front or the middle.

I had some singing when I was little. My dad used to play saxophone in a band so I guess I have inherited his talent in music Although I don’t play any instruments, I have a good sense in the pitch of the tone and the rhythm of a melody. I was in the choir all through elementary school and the teacher assigned me to be the leading singer when I turned grade five. Our choir won so many competitions back then. As time goes on, karaoke had become more and more popular, but as a high school student I didn’t have the time to do that but focused o n my study. It was not until I got into college that I finally had time to go to karaoke to sing for fun.
