In 2018, I travelled in London. I went to London with my best friend. We visited London Eye. Last year worked all the year, just a trip. I also traveled in Australia. I tried parachute. I find it’s not so scared compared to bungee jumping. I think parachute is much better than roller coaster, because roller coaster is you with the machine weight, you can’t control the speed when you fall. But when you fall from the plane, it’s your own weight, so only one second you feel uncomfortable, after that it’s ok. For bungee jumping, you can see other things, so also very scary. For parachute, the most scariest thing is before, you will imagine “I will die”, the imagine is much scared than other two.

Revised

In 2018, I travelled to London. I went to London with my best friend. We visited the London Eye. Last year, I worked all the year. I also traveled to Australia. I tried skydiving. I didn’t find it scary in comparison to bungee jumping. I think skydiving is much better than roller coaster, because with roller coaster, you “fall” along with the machine weight, you can’t control the speed when you fall. But when you fall from the plane, it’s your own weight, so you only feel uncomfortable for one second, after that you will feel fine. For bungee jumping, you can see other things as you fall, so it’s also very scary. For skydiving, the most scariest thing is the period before you fall, you will imagine “I will die”, the imagination is much scarier than the other two.

Your dorm room seem quite cozy. How long have you been living there? I’ve been living in this room since I started to work here last September. Before then, I lived with my parents. I s study business marketing at school and work as a shop assistant at Estee Lauder. I’ve been interested in cosmetics ever since I was little. A couple of years ago, I started a blog called “Bonjour Luce” to share my interests and experiences. I upload posts about 3-4 times a week. I post my opinions on beauty products and show pictures to the outfits.
