My Friendly Room-mate - Lucy
Hsiu-Lu Li, a friendly and outgoing girl, is my room-mate. I interviewed her this semester in writing class.



She lives with her family including parents, older sister, younger brother, and a pet dog whose name is Money in Tao Yuan. She has a part-time job every weekend. Therefore, she almost goes back to Tao Yuan every week. We live in the same room in the sixth dorm. She is a friendly and outgoing girl. She loves dogs and likes to entertain everybody. She always keeps a smile. It is easy to get along with her. She has various interests such as handicraft-making, face-painting, cooking, and hair style designing. She wants to be an English teacher in the future; in fact, she had many experiences in teaching children before.



Due to her personalities and interests, I am glad that Lucy is able to be an very good English teacher. I hope I can learn how to make up and how do design hair style from her. We have a lot in common such as going shopping in a department store and riding a motorcycle at a fast speed. I am glad that I can be her room-mate.



I enjoyed our time together. We always have a lot of fun. I can learn many interesting things from her.
