Personal comments

Harry's is the best place to hang out with friends. To be honest,i haven't been in cafe much, because it costs a lot to go to Cafe. As a student, Karen is the best place for cheap drinks and friends.

I have studied English for a long time, but I was not fluent because of the big differences between my mother tongue and English. However, I am improving now and I am trying to learn more. Hopefully, my skill would be improved.
