People

When it comes to xxx, I would like to talk something about xxx who is / She’s my neighbor. When I first met her, I was impressed by her elegance.
She was wearing a green dress, and watering her flowers. After we got to know each other, she told me that green is her favorite colour, cause she thinks the color green represents energy and peace. So i think she is a really peaceful and energetic person..

Yeah, I think she is an energetic person. Because she is 70 years old, but she can still be a teacher, standing in front of the class, and I think standing for a long while is not easy for old people. But she can do it. I think it is not only because of her energy, but also because of her passion for teaching, which I think is amazing and I really respect it.

What I remember most about her is her patience and the support she gave me. Last year, I decided to go study aboard, but I had no ideas about which university I should apply for. So I asked her for help and she advised me to focus on my career plan when choosing a university. what’s more, she also gave me some suggestions on my major so I really appreciate her. Even now, if I have some questions or problems, I often ask her for help.

One thing that makes my neighbor interesting is her personality. These days, people living in the neighborhood are not well connected. They don’t want to spend time with their neighbors, but my neighbor always comes up with interesting ideas to bring the community members closer which is really great for the community as a whole. For example, last year, she organised a sports meet and earlier she organised a cookery event and all these things really help to bring the community members closer and give an opportunity to interact with each other. She is really an interesting person who is highly active and energetic even in this age.

I really want to be a person like her and I hope I can always be full of energy, and be a supportive person.

Experience

Life will be full of experiences. Here I would like to talk about one experience of return.

Last month, I wanted to buy a pair of shoes, so I went to Westfield with my friend. My goal was clear, just to buy a pair of sneakers. So we went straight to a shoes shop. The salesman welcomed us with smiling face and encouraged me to try shoes on. Finally, I bought a pair of shoes that I particularly like. But after I went home. I found there were stains on the shoes, and they cannot be cleaned. So I decided to return them.

When I go back to the shop again, the salesman didn’t believe that it’s their fault. He thought I messed up the shoes. I argued with him and wanted to see his manager. And his manager came to deal with this issue. At the end of that day I got a refund. I am so proud of myself, because I protect my customer rights. It’s not my fault, so I don’t need to pay for it. Although that salesman ruined my day, I protect my rights.

Place
There are so many places with bad air and noise. I would like to talk about a hotel near a market.

Last month, I went to carins with my friends. We lived in a hotel which nears a night market. The market remains open from morning to midnight. Usually, the market becomes more crowded and noisy during the evening hours and before its closure. If we open the hotel’s window, we can then hear the cacophony of the night market. It’s really annoying. I felt like I was about to lose my hearing and ears. And I cannot concentrate on something I really want to do.

There are so my many restaurants and snakes in the night market, so the air is polluted. When we open the windows we will smell the grease and smoke. It’s so disgusting. What’s more, the hotel is located on the street. Vehicles were also contributing to more pollution.

I felt terrible while visiting this place even I felt pity on those who lived here. When I came out of this area and took fresh air I felt a sense of satisfaction.

Item
Gifting is a way to express our love and affection towards others here I would like to talk about something special I gifted to my friend. I have known her since I was 10 years old. And our friendship has grown stronger. She is a nice and intelligent person. She has a unique aesthetic.

The gift I want to gift is a crystal ball. It is a beautiful deep purple colour, which represents creativity and clear thinking. In the evening, if you turn off the lights, it glows a deep purple colour. That’s really amazing.

I bought the gift before my friend’s birthday. I want to send her something special. When I went to the shop, I was caught by the crystal ball. It is something unique and last forever, just like our friendship. So I bought it immediately. I hope it will also remain her that I will always be there for her if she needs me. When she knew this meaning of the gift, she was very moved and she gave me a hug.

When it comes to xxx, I would like to say something about xxx who is / She’s my neighbor. When I first met her, I was impressed by her elegance.
Say something positive about it, then compare to something negative. 
She was wearing a green dress, and watering her flowers. After we got to know each other, she told me that green is her favorite colour, cause she thinks the color green represents energy and peace. So i think she is a really peaceful and energetic person..
