My name is CC and I come from Hong Kong.

I came to England because of my bad health.

I really enjoy England, especially in the summer.

My name is C.C. I came from Hong Kong in 1998. In Hong Kong I cough every day because I had allergic reaction to air pollution and my health was bad. So I retired early and moved to England.

Now I live in Wakefield and study at Thomas Danby Collage because English is my problem.

In Hong Kong, my work was a social worker, it was busy work. Every day I interview more people and helped them, family reunion, marriage, to hospital visit, contact the volunteer etc.

When I arrived in England I just stayed at home, rest, rest and rest. In summer, I can plant flowers and vegetables. Sometimes I go shopping with my friend. I am lazy in England.

Now, I retire I can study English in College, but as I am old and my memory is not young, to study English is hard work, I always forget the words and how to spell.

My tutors Patricia and Martin are very good teachers (thank you teachers) but I study very slow(sorry teachers).

In my future, I hope I have good health and I want to study more in my life. I enjoy my life and I live happily.
