#Greeting

My name is Bella. I’m 21 years old. I’m currently studying in NTUB. I like beautiful outfits and decorations. Also, I like to listen to music and watch movies in my free time.  Especially Korean tv series. Because the plots are exclusive and the actors are unique. I also like to watch renovation kind of video, because it motives me to watch something old becoming new again. Makes me want to do it myself. Being curious about everything is one of my biggest trait as well.

# My favorite sad song

1. Boys in space - drown 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etYse5kPC7Y&list=PLKTdItHpVwn1mQSYM8YS2oydOviGZNQ8j&index=16 3. The song is about a boy who is hurt real hard by a girl. It feels like he is drowning and his world burning. It's sending a message that he is dumped by the girl and she just let him rot. It's connected to the lyrics "You sunk my ship and now you let me drown." The reason I recommend this song is because I can deeply relate to the song. Since I was hurt by a friend once... I think it's very comforting to listen to it.

#Six minutes English 3 - Is tourism harmful

Vocabulary 1. misbehaving- Definition: Doing bad or inappropriate things Ex:  I was always getting in  trouble  for misbehaving at  school . 2. crackdown- Definition: Taking action to restrict or stop certain activities Ex:  There has been a   series  of  government crackdowns  on   safety  in  factories . 3. I wouldn’t say that tourism is harmful. But it can be harmful. If the sites are crowded with people, it spoils the atmosphere and the beauty. I personally wouldn’t like that to happen. It makes me sick with all the crowd and the noise. I should be enjoying the beautiful view instead of seeing the people. So I think tourism could be harmful in some ways.
