i lived in shanghai since i’m shanghai i born with this city. if i have opportunity i would like still live in there. there a lot of attractions for me since it’s very modern and it has historical architecture.

i think the most i want to express is the historical of my country as we all know about its cultural heritage . there are lots of historical spots like the great wall, the palace that keep a lot of antiques in there. besides i’m really qualities of chiense people since they’re very hard working.

well there’s a lot to say about this question, but i would say the most important aspects are

let me think about it

yes i do think do, since musuem is a place to keep a lot of the evidence of people staying in this world. they offer some chances to those who like the history and they want to catch most- they want to extend their private time. so whatever it is just a place to express the cultural for people.

sometimes, since i think im very busy on my work so i didn’t have a lot of time to go to museum; but sometimes when i go to new cities i would like to search museums … i prefer to go to there. special exhibition i would like to have a visit on there.

at work/with my work

go to there

i guess it is-was in my travelling and i went to wuhan for my business trip and i know there are very famous~  geography museum and it is my hobby and i decide to go there to enjoy the precious stones, the samples of the gems, it‘s was a wonderful experience for me.

i guess there are several differences. firstly if you use a pen, it/the speed could be slowly than typing; secondly, writing with a pen will be difficult to correct but typing is easier than that. but if there are some technican probalems computer is broken.. weak signal is weak writing with a pen can be a much better choice.

technical: related to technology

technician someone that does technical work

i thikn it’s very easy since i’m a very careful person. i never write anything very messy or hard to understand. i guess i got the response  comments/ feedback from my teacher and my friends. they all think my handwriting is very clear and easy to understand.

very – fairly/quite
