Hi, I’m Lina. I’m from Singapore. The climate is warm and humid. I don’t like rain, because it makes hard to set my hair. And I can’t enjoy going to park with my children.
I’m married, and have two children, a daughter and a son. My husband is a pilot in Singapore Airline. He is from France. As my family like travel, we go abroad annual.
I am a banker. My bank is the biggest in Singapore. I work from 9 am to 5 pm. The working is hard all the time, but I don’t have over time work. I can have dinner with my family every day.
I like computer. It is useful. When I have times, I often search recipes and see movies.
This is my introduction, thank you. (131 words)

Preparation for Speaking Exam
Mario Brother’s Pizza and Pasta
The restaurant has 20 kinds of pizzas, and they are $15! Fortunately they are too large, and have much cheese, tomato and sausages. The restaurant has pasta, too. At lunch time; from 11:30 to 14 pm, we can have lunch buffet. It cost just $10. It is reasonable for students! It is in Downtown, and it’s easy to access to there.
I think we can enjoy much Italian food by low cost. Especially pizza is good to eat with other, so we might have a good time as we visit there with them.

It is Mexican restaurant. Country music sounds in the restaurant. The service is praised in Trade American Guide book. It has a lot of parking near the street. The dishes are tacos, fried ice-cream and so on. They are hand-made. There are many wine and international beers.
It is better for people who like alcohol, and want to enjoy different culture. Of cause, others may enjoy there by great their services.
Mandarin Place
This is a little expensive Chinese restaurant. You might feel like be in emperor China, because Chinese decollation and the music. The foods are good, like Mandarin Dag.
