Original

I would like to reading, travelling, watching movies in my free time. I bought many kinds of novels in my bedroom, such as mystery stories, historical stories and some books about examination. I used to borrow romance novels from a boy who was sitting behind me when I was a high school student. I was attractive with the love story of hero and heroine. I used to go to Japan during my holiday. It is a beautiful country but its prices are higher than ours.If I have enough money and holidays, I want to go to more and more cities in China with my best friends where I’ve never reached/been. I can travel around our country to know some difference cultures and traditional foods from there. That’s a wonderful dream what I want to realize.
