  1. Travel

I like traveling, and I hope that I can travel as much countries or places as I can. When traveling, I can not only see a lot of beautiful sceneries and amazing landforms, but also experience different human culture. When I see the wonderful views, I will feel relax and comfortable. The views can also heal me because I can see the distant mountains and wide rivers. When I go to different countries, I also can access to different people. Learning some simple foreign languages, talking to different kinds of people and buying some gifts to friends. I like to travel with friends, like to share the views with friends.

2. Draw & Paint

When I was in primary school, I began to learn drawing. In fact, Since childhood, I like color and various colors will make me happy. Probably, I may not have a good talent for drawing, but I am sure that I love it. For me, there are no rules to art, as long as it looks good and is worth appreciating. Each piece of work can represent my mood when I draw it, and I also hope that I can represent my feeling to people. A good mood also can around me whether I drawing the project or visiting the art museum.

3. Watching Movies

Comparing to read books and watch the series, I prefer to watch the movies. I see many movies in a year and I like to talk about movies with my friends. My favorite thing to do on Saturday is to watch a movie with my family after dinner. Whether it’s looking for new movies or reliving old ones. Films from different countries also have their own unique styles. Because of COVID-19,I haven’t been to the cinema for a long time. But I watch it at home on a TV or a projector, which is also a good experience. I also want to try the car cinema later.

Dislikes:

  1. Unconfident

I think that I am shy and unconfident. Actually, I do not like this kind of feeling. In the undergraduate study, I took “public speaking” class and tried my best in every presentation. My goal is communicating with others comfortable and open, because it is important for me in the future. Unconfident will restrict me to improve myself and work. I think that speaking more and improving my logical thinkings will help me to be confident and I really hope that I can be more confident when the program finish. To be brave! Don’t be shy!

2. Quarrel

I really do not like to argue with others. I think that quarrel is an useless work because it cannot promote any work. The only quarrel can bring to us is hurt because the words and moods will hurt all of people. I want to avoid quarrel with friends and parents, and I try to find a good solution to solve the problem. Everything can be solved, and quarrel is the worst way. I also remind me do not angry when I meet unhappy or bad thing. Trying to use good mind and good sights to face the problem in the future.

3. A messy room

According to the research, the messy room will affect a person’s productivity and mood. When I live in the messy room, I will feel anxiety and lost in the direction. When I work in the messy desk, I cannot find the pen, paper and cables. The first step for me to start a work is cleaning my desk and room, then I have a good though to think about my project. And a clean room also can support free space for me to draw something or write something. A wide desk, a wide thoughts. So, I do not like the messy room.
