Personal research project on understanding the role of the teacher in China.
我有一个好朋友叫Naomi. 她是英国人。她学习社会学，我学习商业研究，我们一起学习了三年了。虽然我们没有学习同一门课程，但是我们还成了最好的朋友。 她个子比我小。（她经常穿高跟鞋！哈哈！）机身很苗条。眼睛大大的，头发又黑又多。她一说话就笑，大家都说她是个漂亮的姑娘. 她性格也很好，对人热情，也有耐心和冷静，喜欢帮助别人。 她是一个爱运动的人，特别喜欢跑步。 因为她常常参加马拉松，所以她的身份非常健康。她很聪明，工作的很认真。总是得到老板的赞美。 今年她有两个愿望。第一：回来我家串一下门。第二－：学好德语（她妈妈的母语） 虽然我不高兴跟她分开，但是我希望在英国她生活幸福，工作顺利！
新年快乐！羊年快乐！ Chinese New Year Wishes
欢迎大家来给我评论,改正什么的！
