For instance, She will study from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock .And then, she plays basketball , takes a bath and so on. Moreover, she often works alone because she doesn't like anyone bother her. She can not concentrate if someone makes noise, so when she studies with our group , she often does homework alone. We know her characteristic , so we don't feel angry about her . In addition, she doesn't like to follow instruction of a teacher . The teacher asked her to solve a problem by his way, but she didn't follow him because she found a shorter way than her teacher's way .

IF A FAIRY GIVE YOU A WISH , WHAT WILL YOU WISH FOR ?
I decided to ask this question because I usually daydream. I imagined to have a fairy . It is the same with many stories that I read . I think everyone has a lot of different wishes when the fairy offers them wishes . I am curious about things which they desire . Someone wishes they will have money . Others wish they will have a good boyfriend or girlfriend. I do not think people will refuse to wish when the fairy gives them. In the other hand, I chose this question because I hope I will have a wish from the fairy on some day. It is only a supposition and it is not a truth, but I feel interesting when I think about it. Moreover, If I ask my classmate this question, I can know what they are thinking and what they need. Maybe I will help them when their wish is not difficult for me to do. Actually, If I had a wish, I would say to the fairy that I desire I can come back Vietnam to visit my family. I miss them so much. Especially, my parents. I have never gone so far and so long as now, so I imagined that there is a fairy and she will offer me a wish.
