Speaking exercise

I like playing badminton, usually I play badminton once per week. Except, I also like hiking, I think It was a trip to in Xinhuang. Xinhuang is in the north, oh no, west of China, its a very beautiful place it is very popular for hiking. The scenery is very beautiful and you need to hike for several days to see a lake. Its called paradise lake, the lake is not very big its almost, I feel its almost 100 meters and how to say like this. There are many small mountains there, and the sky is blue and there are many wild animals there. There are no, cars. No cars can drive near the lake, except by horse and walking.

I like watching some TV, shows like reality TV shows. I think reality TV show is very funny. I like talking TV show and all types of TV show. There are so many TV show recently, so I feel busy in the weekend. Meet friends, usually have brunch and walking along the river after lunch, I like the walking lane is good and the buildings beside the river are good.

When I meet someone new I always feel nervous, because I don’t know what to talk and I also feel awkward when no  one is talking. When people act “to cool” and the people always talking about there husband and children because I don’t know how to discuss with them about this topic. I don’t like people who always talk negative emotions with everything.

If I go to futzien you should to have Seafood. Our countryside is close to the sea, the seafood is very good. I like the flavor, its fresh, the meat has got a little sweet and its chewy. Most famous for food and tea, favorite tea is, in our hometown, there is a tea named “White tea” its soft tea. After boil, the tea will be a little stronger than just a sip of hot water.
