I would say a lack of experience, as I graduated from college a few years ago. I recognize this and have been working on it by being inquisitive. By this I mean not being afraid of asking questions, which I think is the best way to really understand something. A good understanding of the work I do can make up for whatever experience I lack.
我會說缺乏經驗，是因為幾年前才從大學畢業。我認知到這點，而且我一直抱著追根究底的精神進行研究。藉此我不害怕提出問題，我認為這是真正理解某件事的最好方法。對我所做工作的充分理解也可以彌補我所缺乏的經驗。
I quit my last job because I considered it essential to broaden my exposure. I was in that job for about five years. My work had become more of a routine and I was in my comfort zone doing the work as I had been. A different working environment would take me out of my comfort zone and make me grow, not only in terms of getting to learn a different line of business, but also honing such generic skills as analytical skills, communication skills, and inter-personal skills.
我辭去了上一份工作，是因為我認為，擴大我的工作範圍至關重要。我從事這項工作大約五年了。我的工作已經變得越來越常規，我一直在舒適的環境中進行工作。不同的工作環境將使我脫離自己的舒適圈，並使我成長，不僅是在學習不同的領域，也是在磨練一些技能，比方像分析能力，溝通能力和人際交往能力。
My favorite restaurant is called “Johnny’s.” I love going there because of its location, food and service.
It is located in my neighborhood, just two blocks from my apartment. It takes no more than ten minutes to walk there. It is well-secluded: unless you are a local, it might not be easy to find it. I prefer it to those more popular ones with crowds waiting outside.
Its food is value for money. I would not say the food is the most delicious, but it is definitely of the local cuisine, which I am used to. Eating there always brings back fond memories of my mom’s meals. What’s more, it does not cost me a fortune to eat there.
Its service is superb. The owner of the restaurant is a young man who greets each customer with warmth and welcome. He is keen on introducing the menu and answering customers’ questions about how the food is made. Whenever I am there, I cannot help feeling that I am in good company.
To conclude, the location, food and
service of Johnny’s makes it my favorite restaurant.
My favorite travel destination is Japan. The country is best known for its delicious food, beautiful scenery, and superb transportation. Although I have been to Japan a number of times, I still wish to go there again as there is so much I have yet to see.
Japanese food is simply a delight. I am a big fan of raw fish, so sashimi and sushi are what I always go for. Another food that appeals to me is ramen. It might look the same but its tastes vary considerably because of the different ways in which the broth is made.
Japanese scenery is pure beauty. No one can resist the temptation of pale pink blossoms in March and April up and down the country. Colorful autumn foliage is also a draw for locals and tourists alike as they flock to the mountains. Winter snow scenes are mesmerizing, never mind the biting cold.
Japanese transportation is probably the best in the world. It boasts a comprehensive, complicated, and convenient network. The authorities pride themselves on running highly efficient services. The only complaint I have is that it is quite a daunting task to navigate the system.
To
conclude, I look forward to going to Japan again. I miss the fantastic food and
scenery there, while lured by the convenience of local transportation.
My favorite season is autumn.
Weather-wise, it is the best time of year. It is neither sweltering nor freezing. We need not worry too much about excessive sweating, which is common in summer. Nor do we need to put on too many clothes in winter to keep ourselves warm.
Scenery-wise, it offers ample opportunity for viewing leaves that turn into different degrees of crimson and yellow, depending on the species of the trees in question and the period. No one will forget the overlapping colors of the leaves.
Activity-wise, it is perfect for most outdoor activities. I love going hiking in the countryside on weekends. My family and friends will sometimes join. If so, we might have a picnic or a barbecue afterwards. Once in a while we even go on a three-day camping trip.
To conclude, I love autumn for its weather, scenery, and
outdoor activities. I look forward to its arrival every year.
