Is it important to visit family members? Why?

YOU SAID:
Yes, it is important to visit my family member because the family member is an
important role in my heart. Also, we connect not every day.
I can ... what they are, their situation, share a lot of story, a lot of ideas. I
think if I have some trouble they may be can help me. Give me directions. Family
member is an important role in my heart. We should more contact with our family
member. Although time we can come to each other, good speaker and good listener.
Sometime is important than friends or others. I think l

ike your family, your parents, the more close other strangers.

YES= DEFINITELY/ OF COURSE

IMPORTANT = ESSENTIAL, FUNDAMENTAL
IN MY CASE = FOR MY OWN EXPERIENCE/MY OWN EXAMPLE
CATCH UP
PIECES OF ADVICE

Of course, it is ESSENTIAL to visit family members for the reason that THEY PLAY A
BIG ROLE IN OUR HEARTS.
IN MY CASE, I live far from my family members so I only have the chance to see them
once every two months or during the holidays. Even though we communicate online or
call each other, it's not enough. We still need to have a get together once in a
while to CATCH UP.
Everytime that we are together, we are able to share stories and ask for pieces of
advice when needed.
Family members are indeed like your best of friends.

PART 1:
FRIENDS
I want nice and warmhearted friends. = I like people who are nice and
warmhearted. /It would also be good=IT IS A PLUS/ IF WE SHARE THE SAME INTERESTS OR
HOBBIES.

Yes, I think so. I am a person with principle and I treat people nicely. So if my
friend needs help, I will lend surely lend a hand. If someone needs an advice, I
can share my opinion to help out.

principle - own rule

The thing is when I was in my childhood years, we didn't have social media or any
communication app to use. We just talk when we are at school. Now, we have our own
lives and I have lost contact with them.

Languages

Aside from my mother tongue which is Chinese, I am also learning the English
language and I would like to be fluent at it.

I think it's a bit difficult. If you are in a place where the language is being
used, then you have a better chance of learning it since you need to practice the
language. IT will become difficult if you just practice the language in your mind.

more easier = easier

广东话 - CANTONESE

WALKING
> I don't walk a lot in my daily life because I am always in a hurry. I do a lot of
things like going to work and then doing household chores. I only get the chance to
have a walk when I travel.

> When I travel, I want to take a walk so I can see it fully to appreciate the
place even more. I go to the park, zoo and other places. I try to make sure I
complete 20 000 steps a day.
> I think not. As the technology develops further, people tend to move lesser and
lesser. People create technology that makes life easier for example Grab, Uber and
Share a Bicycle to help people move instaead of walking.
