I travel on my own quite often. In general, I enjoy it for a couple of reasons. I can have a very flexible schedule. A detailed traveling plan is not necessary. If I travel with partners, I may be under a bit stress because I need to fit in other people's schedule or I may need to be in charge of making a traveling plan. I like to go for an adventure. If I travel with friends, I may not be able to have a great adventure. I can imagine that I will spend more time with my friends rather than making new ones.

I like to stay in a hostel when I travel because the cost is lower and I have more chances to interact with tourists from different countries. I will not have much chance to talk to tourists if I stay in a hotel. However, it has some downsides to stay in a hostel. Firstly, Your roommate may check in at the midnight and disrupt your sleep. Secondly, some guys snore like crazy. Even wearing ear plugs cannot guarantee a good sleep.

I don't have an answer which really satisfies me because I don't interact with many people and my daily life is very regular; work occupies most of my time and thought. So, I consider my boss is a good candidate to this question. I admire him because he is extraordinarily good tempered. He is never angry at me. Moreover, he is often supportive of me. I have been busy with my own work and only payed a little attention on the task he has assigned to me. But, it seems that he can understand me and gives me time to finish my work.

This evening I cooked myself pasta not because I love pasta very much but because I don't want to take too much time cooking. I also cooked some vegetables. Vegetables and pasta with tasty sauce already satisfy me.

I chose to major in physics just because I admired my physics teacher in my high school. Then, I realised majoring in physics is really cool because you have to learn many pieces of knowledge which worth a Nobel prize. Many people admire me or feel surprised when they know I studied physics in university. They think physics is a difficult subject, so do I. I wish I am capable to perceive the world with strong sense of physics.

Any English speaking country would be good for me because I'd like to be fluent in English. Living in an English speaking country I would have more chances to use English. In theory I can practice English on my own, but I find it is not efficient because I have more time to think about my language use when I speak or write. However, in a real conversation I won't have much time to think about my language use.

A friend is my true friend if they always remember to give me a call to greet me even though we don't really have many things in common now and haven't met for quite a while.

Two kinds of writing languages Only few written languages are logographs. The (traditional) Chinese character is the most representative example. Usually there is no clear clue to pronounce a Chinese letter by looking the letter itself. In other words, to learn Mandarin Chinese people need to learn both phonetic and writing systems of Chinese characters. These two systems are somewhat independent, which makes this language difficult to learn for foreigners. Phonograms, by contrast, maybe more easy to handle because generally people know how to pronounce an unfamiliar character if they already know the phonetic system of the language.
