Please tell me about your interests. Do you have any hobbies?

I like studying English and French, and practicing ukulele. I have a fish tank, and I take care of fish and water plants. That's fun and therapeutic. I like cooking and drinking wine. I started learning Italian wine these days. Before the covid-19 I often traveled abroad, but now I only travel in Japan. Next year I want to travel abroad.

1. The comma is not necessary.

4. Use ''about'' to indicate concerning something.

That's a fascinating mix of interests! It's great that you enjoy languages, and music, and even have a bit of a green thumb with your fish tank. Exploring Italian wine sounds like an exciting venture. Where do you plan to go for your first trip abroad when you can travel again?

I have two. First, I'm interested in visiting Portugal. I have traveled some European countries so far, but I haven't visited there yet. The country is on the coast side, so the seafood is must be delicious! And the second is visiting Boston again where I studied for 9 months when I was 25 years old.

Portugal is known for its beautiful coastal regions, and the seafood there is fantastic. The history, culture, and cuisine in Portugal offer a rich experience for any traveler. Returning to Boston must hold a lot of memories for you. Is there a particular memory or place in Boston that you're looking forward to revisiting?

I agree with you about Portugal. In a sense, Boston is also rich in history and culture in America. The freedom trail was very interesting which is that you can visit historical sightseeing spots. Also, it was nice for me to live in Italian district called North End. Concerts and plays are opened to people by affordable price. It was amazing to see that people are laying down in the park in summer, and it was being held William Shakespeare's play in free. It was a very good atomosphere.

It sounds like you have some fantastic memories from your time there. As for Portugal, the combination of coastal beauty and delicious seafood is very appealing.
Is there any specific dish or type of food you're looking forward to trying in Portugal, or any particular historical site you're excited to see in Boston during your future travels?

I'd like to try soup or risotto based on local fish broth in Portugal, and also Portugal wine too! When I return to Boston it might be interesting to visit Cape Cod by ferry. It would be lovely if I could relax there for a few days...

1.& 2. Leave out ''also'' and ''too'' to avoid repetition with ''and''.
Sampling local seafood-based dishes in Portugal, along with their wines, sounds like a delicious plan. A visit to Cape Cod in Boston for some relaxation by the sea would be a fantastic way to unwind. Have you ever been to Cape Cod before, or will it be your first time exploring that area?

Yes, I have been to Cape Code when I was in Boston in my 20's, but the time is past, so I will find another different way of enjoying there.
