Bài 2: My Likes and Dislikes

I would like to tell you a little bit about some things I like and then a little bit about somethings I don't like.

First of all, I really enjoy exercising. Some of my favorite types of exercises are swimming, especially in rivers in the country and in big oceans, because I like to jump over the waves. I also really enjoy dancing.

I like dancing to American music because that's what I know best and I also like salsa and meringue which are more Latin types of music. I also like to walk in the woods and to explore . I like to walk through forests and I’d like to hear rivers.

I enjoy meeting new people too. I like to find out about different ways of life, what different people think, where they're from and how they live. Probably one of my favorite things is animals. I really love dogs and cats and horses.

When I was little I always tried to talk my mum in letting me have more animals. But usually she wouldn't.

So I think now that I’m going to have my own house, I'll try to get lots of animals.

Some things that I don't really like are rude people. Sometimes people are not very nice to strangers and that makes me feel bad.

I also don't really like driving. I tend to get pretty bored in the car. And it seems like it just takes a long time to get there. One final thing I don't really like is waiting.

Sometimes I’m not a very patient person. And I just like to hurry things up.
