Well, I would like to talk about a person who persuaded me to learn a new skill. She is my grandmother. She is 65 years old. She is an active person, then her appearance. And also she is very kind to everyone. She worked as a saving maker when she was younger. And she encouraged me to learn new dress. And I would say that she said, if I was a professional saving maker, I would never face trouble in future life. And when I was in the 70s class, she joined me in the first time. It seemed difficult for me. And even I had a hard time with scissors and needle. In addition, my first dress wasn’t beautiful. It was very funny. After I failed, she gave my advice and asked me, she said that nothing comes easy. If I want to reach my goal, I should hard work on myself as well as don’t fear barrier.

Well, I would like to talk about a person who persuaded me to learn a new skill. She is my grandmother. She is 65 years old and an active person, and her appearance reflects that. She is also very kind to everyone. She worked as a seamstress when she was younger, and she encouraged me to learn how to sew. She said that if I became a professional seamstress, I would never face trouble in my future life. When I was in the seventh grade, she joined me for the first time. It seemed difficult for me, and I had a hard time with scissors and a needle. In addition, my first dress wasn't beautiful; it was quite funny. After I failed, she gave me advice and said that nothing comes easy. If I want to reach my goal, I should work hard on myself and not fear barriers.
