Unit 1.Global Discussion.Say Hello

Here you can see some invented posts as an example to know how to write your first post.
Hi everyone,
My name is Ling and I live in Taipei, Taiwan. My favourite activities are reading comics, riding on my bike and hanging out with friends because I am a very creative student.
My city is unique and interesting because we have one the highest building around the world. It is called Taipei 101.

An important fact you should know about water in my city is there is a Museum of Drinking Water here in Taipei with exhibits showing the cleaning processes that tap water go before it reaches your faucet. Here is a link to the news story covering the reopening of the museum: Taiwan’s first drinking water museum opens – Taipei Times What I would like to know about my international peers is which are the most well-known monuments and their traditional food.

This is a photo of Taipei 101. Do you like it ?
Sincerely,
Ling
