If I have a chance to meet someone famous, I’ll choose Bill Gates. First, because he is one of the billionaires in the world, I like to ask him how he can earn so much money.

The combination simply means a lot of dollars going to him by going though a lot of entrances. Finally, he set up Microsoft successfully. I really want to know how he could do this.

I’d like to go to the disco bar for relaxation. First, because I like big party with a jam of people and I love the loud music, too. Hearing the loud and crazy music, I am dancing with so many people . It makes me get away from my stress temporarily. Also, shaking my body serves as great release of energy, which is also very good stress reducer. Finally, as far as I know, foreigners like to go there, too.

Finally, I can talk with my dad ,mom and my wife  in my home. I feel good no matter how much pressure I have. Just as the saying goes : “ West, East, Home is the best”
