Description - Final

My best friend in Wenzao
Chris Tsai is my best friend in Wenzao. I had a meeting with her in the McDonald's on October 20th. We have known each other very well for five years.
Taichung City is her hometown. She has a sister and a brother. Her mother is a housekeeper and her father is a fireman. She came to Kaohsiung five years ago. Nowadays she lives with her friend, Mandy. And she has studied for the two-year program in Wenzao. She enjoys translation, linguistics and English teaching there. In addition, her future goal is to study in the U.S. for the Master's degree and she wants to become an English teacher.
She misses her family very much so she goes home every week. In her free time, she likes to watch TV and listen to Japanese cartoon's music. Furthermore, she wants to get married to a good man when she is about 25 years old. She doesn't have any bad habits. She doesn't drink alcohol and smoke.
She likes to help people very much. She also keeps smiling all the time. She never gets angry. She is a good and nice girl. It is very easy to be a friend with her. I enjoy chatting with her because she won't tell others what I say to her. We will be very good friends forever.
I can learn a lot from her because she is a very good model for me. She teaches me that I should keep smiling to everybody and help people as much as I can. I think she can be a good teacher in the future because she is a very patient girl. I also enjoy our time together because we have a lot of things in common to talk.
