Two months from now, I will move to Tianjin. After I arrive at Tianjin, I will find a job first. I don’t need to worry about the place where I will live, because there are my relatives there and I can live with my sister before I have a house of my own. Of course, my boyfriend will go together with me too. Though we both have jobs in Shanghai, we still think that the pace of life in Shanghai is very fast and we would like to choose the city in which we will have a more comfortable life. Tianjin is as modern as Shanghai, but it has slower pace of life and nearer to my hometown. Even though, Tianjin is a new city which I have been to only two or three times, I believe one or two years later, I can adapt to the life in it.
