22. Sharing 
22.1. Have you shared anything with others recently? 
Yes! Actually, I got a box of 6 bottles of red wine as a gift recently. Since I cannot 
consume all of that, I’ve shared 3 bottles with my friends, as red wine is a luxury 
here in Asia. I enjoy sharing alcohol with people, as it’s something that puts you 
in a good mood! 
22.2. What do you like to share?
That’s an interesting question. I’m a pretty generous person, so I’m happy to 
share most of my things. However, I particularly enjoy sharing my food with 
others. I feel that food is one basic thing that undoubtedly makes everyone 
happy. It’s a win-win (always a benefit) situation.
22.3. What kinds of things are not suitable for sharing?

Well, for me, I’m extremely petite (small), so it’s difficult for me to share clothes 
with my friends. It’s quite a task for me to find clothes my size, so I don't like to 
risk others stretching them out (to make bigger). Furthermore, I think it’s 
unsanitary to share certain items, like a toothbrush or a toothpick. 
22.4. Did your parents teach you to share when you were a child? 
Of course! Actually, since I'm one of 7 children, sharing was unavoidable. After 
one child grew bigger, we always shared their hand-me-downs (secondhand 
clothing). Furthermore, during a meal, we each started with a small portion to 
make sure everyone got enough, then would go back for seconds (second 
portion of food) 
 
 
23. Letters / Handwriting
23.1. Do you like to write a letter or email? 
In today’s age, I much prefer writing an email. With a mail system that cannot 
be trusted, a letter is just out of the question (not an option) sometimes. I 
love that email is immediate and that you can know for sure if the recipient has 
viewed it or not. However, there is still a certain charm about receiving a hand-
written letter.
