Revised: 

I haven’t been back home for around a month. I plan to go back home more often, but something always comes up so I will tell my mum, “I won’t come back this week”. They can do many things like play Mahjong. In my hometown, every person will get together to chat and have tea. Sometimes, they will set a table just beside the road. I will not approach the neighbour first. But, if the neighbour speaks to me first, I will be happy to keep in touch with the neighbour.

Maybe it’s not because I’m shy, maybe I want myself to look cool. If you make the move first, they will feel my passion and it seems like I really want to be their friend. Even though some people don’t like you they won’t say no. I will only keep someone I really like as a friend. But, if you ask me out, I don’t know how to refuse it. If I don’t like you, you will not be included in my private life.

I don’t like to drink alcohol. Some people get drunk and they feel nothing. Actually, I have never gotten so drunk to feel nothing. I know who am I, but I can’t control my body. I can talk and I can think. I know why I went to the karaoke with so many good friends. At that time I drank a lot of different kinds of alcohol.
