Favorite Singer
I’m def choose TS. Not only because of her country music, like Love Story. We always perform it during the music class. After her break up, something her music start to change. I also like it very much. She opened her concert in SH, but I haven’t got the ticket. Then come the COVID, I haven’t watched a concert of her yet. The music video of her music make me shocked a lot of time. I think she’s a cool woman.

My favorite will be TS. I can’t remember where she comes from, but I know she’s a freigner. Her talent of music really shocked me. When I was in primary school, we always sing during music class. What’s more, when I watch her legs I can’t move my eyes. I’m not a really strange… What’s more, she’s really confident. The video of her music is quite shocked when I watch it. She’s an example for me to follow as a woman.

My favorite singer would be/is TS. I can’t remember where she comes from, but I know she’s a foreigner. Her musical talent really shocked me. Her music influence is quite wide in China. When I was in primary school, we always sang her songs during music class. What’s more, when I watch her legs I can’t move my eyes./I can’t take my eyes off of her legs during her performances.  I’m not really strange/a stalker… However, the most important thing about Taylor is that she’s really confident. She is brave and innovative enough to add uncommon/ new elements in her videos. I’m always surprised when I watch her music videos.  As with any famous person, there are a lot of neg voices about Taylor on the internet, but she ignores the scandals and pursues her own dreams.She’s an example/role model for me to follow as a woman.

Q: A time you felt bored
A: When I asked this q, I would absolutely choose the lockdown in SH. In this time, we can’t go out of our home, just to stay at home. Our working place is quite small, so it’s quite hard for me to do some exercise. However, I can get in touch with my friends. We only can talk through the video, even can’t go to the class. so when the place you live is quite limited, you even can’t talk to others, you will quite feel boring. You will do the same things everyday… and go to sleep. So I will def. not want to get through this time once again.
