My Favorite Place
many opportunities to be happy in one day or to make
someone happy, why not do it? Why not enjoy your day?
We have to stand up, think less, and do more instead of just
thinking about it. We have to think of reasons to
accomplish things instead of excuses not to do them. You
only live once. Why waste time being sad? I wish you
could all see the great things in life and be as happy as I am.

My Special Place
Naples is my special place in the U.S. I love to live in
this city because a long time ago when I came for the first
time, I liked everything. “It is a wonderful town for me,” I
thought. The most important part was I could live near the
beach. Every Saturday I enjoy swimming and walking on
the beach for a long time. Sometimes, I prefer to read while
resting in the sunshine. No matter what happens around me
I feel very happy. Now, I can enjoy everything more
because I am learning English and I feel confident when
somebody asks me something. Communication with others
is the most important thing around the world. I love this
paradise.

My Favorite Place
There are so many interesting places I have visited,
especially in Asia. My family loves traveling, so I have
traveled to China, Japan, Hong Kong, and Macau among
other places. But my favorite place right now is Japan. Five
years ago, I went to Japan with my family during the winter.
The snow was falling down from the sky. The sweet smell
of Sakura trees was all over the place. That was my first
time seeing real snow and Sakura trees. I always wondered
if I would see the real thing, it was amazing. And I did it! I
saw it with my own eyes and touched with my own hands.
My father said, “Japan is famous because of food, language,
and places.” Every place has its own style of food and tone
