嗨，朋友们！我是来自南非的Jesle。今天来和大家分享一下我的中国生活。

Hey guys! My name is Jesle. I am from South Africa＊ and now I am working as an English teacher in China.

I like going out＊ with my dog and doing outdoor＊ activity.My favorite＊ sport is skiing＊.

In China, I feel everyone always seems to be in a hurry＊, but I like the relaxing life.

My friend and I both like shopping, and we also like watching Chinese movies.“Hero” is my favorite movie.

In China everything is very convenient＊. You can pay for clothes on Taobao and buy water in a vending machine＊just with your phone.
