Actually, I prefer playing badminton to playing football. I'm used to playing it every Wednesday in a court near my home. Besides, I'm pleased to meet my friends there. Other than that, I'm also interested in playing table tennis. Fortunately, I got round to playing it last year.

I prefer speaking English to learning grammar. I’d like to study abroad after graduating, so I should learn English as often as I can, even make it a daily routine. I believe each effort is a stepping stone to my final achievement-becoming a good teacher.I object to people talking loudly in public which makes me annoyed so that I can’t focus on my works.
I really learn a lot from BBC learning English!
