The second floor is where I sleep beside my bide there also is a wardrobe it is very big to put a lot of clothes very well. I also have some neighbors but we are strangers we don’t know each other very well. We are all not local people, I think it’s good to know each other and help each other but I actually don’t like socializing with strangers that’s because I don’t know much about them, maybe we don’t have the same personality or lifestyle so I suppose it would be have some trouble to know a stranger. Several days later, my company will move to another place I have to transfer another line to go to the new office so maybe it will be not very convenient. At the work rush time, there are a lot of people in the subway, I don’t like that, it’s too crowded. I must stand in line to wait for the subway sometimes I have to wait for a long time so that I can crowd into the subway (them).

I rent a fully furnished studio apartment beside metro 7. Everyday I can take the subway to go to my office/company directly which is very convenient. It is small but it is a loft style so, (there are 2 floors) it has high ceilings. When I open the door, on the left is the bathroom and on the right side is the kitchen, when you enter, inside is the living room, TV, (refrigerator/fridge) icebox, sofa, a table and a chair and against/beside the wall there is a wardrobe. The second floor is where I sleep and beside my bed there also is a wardrobe which is very perfect for a lot of clothes/big enough for a lot of clothes.

 I also have some neighbors but we are strangers/we don’t know each other very well. We are all not locals, I think it’s good/beneficial to know and help each other but I actually don’t like socializing with strangers. That’s because I suppose maybe we don’t have similar personalities or lifestyles so for me it’s hard to find common interests to talk about/to discuss. Several days from now / In several days, my company will move to another place. I will have to transfer lines to go to the new office so maybe it will not be very convenient. During the rush hour, there are a lot of people on the subway and I don’t like that. It’s too crowded and sometimes I must stand in line for a long time to get on.

Original: 

I like buying shoes and every month I will go shopping for shoes. I think every pair of shoes should match different styles for clothes. I prefer to wear leisure shoes and sandals. It’s very convenient because they are comfortable. I can do sports or run. I like sandals because it feel cool in summer. Both of them have different styles I can choose and I buy shoes I will focus on the price and the quality, but most of the important is the style. If the appearance is very nice, although the price is a little bit expensive I will buy it. Sometimes if the quality is not very good, if the appearance is nice enoughs, I choose it as well.

I like buying shoes and every month I will go shopping for them. I think every pair of shoes should match different styles of clothing. I prefer to wear sneakers and sandals. Sneakers are very good because they are comfortable and I can do sports or run with them. I like sandals because they feel cool in the summer. Both of them have different styles I can choose. When I buy shoes I focus on the price and the quality, but most importantly on the style. If they look very nice, even if the price is a little bit expensive I will buy it. Sometimes if the quality is not very good, if they look nice enough, I buy them as well.
