New beginnings are always hard. That is what I always say when I start with a new thing. For example, when I joined the English Language Program. In my first day, I was nervous and started asking myself how I could be a good listener, speaker, reader and writer?

It is a really huge city that allows me to write as much as I can. It changes my writing feelings, and it makes me excited to start writing. I was describing how it is beauty, and how it appeals the visitors from the entire world. I had three pages and a half, I was happy to write all that.
