Task 2
Hi there! I like reading books, especially classic British and American literature - I think it's a good way to learn new words. In addition, I really enjoy competitive running and as a result train frequently for local races. In fact, my next race is on January 28th, I believe; it's the Fat Choy run to be held on the peak; and if you'd like to run with me or simply want to know more about running, just ask. As regards activities that I don't do alone, I like going to church and, furthermore, minister to homeless people every Tuesday evening in Yau Ma Tei - if you have a heart to serve, let me know! Finally, though I find myself in Hong Kong, my heart belongs to Korea; consequently, I'm learning Korean and am more than willing to do language exchange, I providing English or Spanish, and you providing Korean, or Cantonese, even. Have a great day and let's get in touch!
Hello world! I'm really glad to meet you. I'm an American, born in New York City, and raised in New Jersey. After university, I moved to Hong Kong to learn Chinese; and nowadays, I speak Korean, Cantonese, English and Spanish, and am looking for someone with whom I could practice either my Korean or Cantonese; are you the one? I think I'd be a really good teacher because that's what I do for a living: I work as an ELC instructor at City University of Hong Kong; students there are a joy to teach! Do you have a passion for teaching? Let's work something out. In addition, I really like traveling and have been to several countries in Asia including South Korea, Japan, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore and Thailand. I hope to meet someone who also enjoys traveling. If you're interested in hanging out, exchanging language or even traveling together, let's hook up. Good bye!
Hello! I'm a teacher at a university in Hong Kong; and I've lived in Hong Kong for about five and a half years; Hong Kong is a challenging city and it sharpens characters; it has definitely sharpened mine! I enjoy learning about Chinese people and have a heart for their culture. I like Cantonese pop music, and have been to several Cantopop; my favorite singer is Janice - I've heard her new album is good.
