Bài viết cải thiện:

Because I have difficulty in persuading her, they make me make coffee every day. I
don’t like this job, but I don’t know how to drive a car or do anything else. The
cost of living is high, and I have to save money for my future. I have an
appointment with him at 6 p.m., and I hope he will help me find a better job. He
speaks English very well, and he can teach me some useful skills. Although most
people are scared of death, he is not. He is brave and confident. He always tells me
the truth, even when it hurts. He works for a company that is very incompetent at
the fast-food market, but he doesn’t care. He says he has a plan to start his own
business. The department store near his office is attracting a lot of customers by
lowering prices, and he wants to buy me a birthday gift there. I am looking forward
to seeing him tonight.

I am very interested in learning English, which is a very useful language. I have

been studying it for a long time, but I still make some mistakes. She, who is my
best friend, has been helping me since we were children. She doesn’t like to eat
vegetables, but she likes to travel. She went to Paris last year, and she had a lot of
fun. She is taller than me, and she has beautiful hair. I can play the piano very well,
which is my favorite hobby. I was taught by him, who speaks English very well.
He is not boring at school, but he is very interesting. He likes to read books and
watch movies. He is not scared of anything, even death. He always tells me the
truth, and he always makes me happy.
