Sorry it might disappoint you but to be honest, it takes me such a long time to practice until my English becomes fluent! But actually being able to speak words that is most commonly used in life, plus some jargon related to my field of study should be fine enough for me to survive on my first day. Despite of my awkward speaking at the beginning, I find no problem with communicating with people as long as we are on the same track (maybe because they are just kind!). I have always loved cooking and I’m really good at Chinese and Japanese cuisine. Dumplings are my favourite, and I can make my own ones!

While infected by pathogens (or germs, normally just bacteria or virus but sometimes also parasites), there’s a special structure formed in our body called the germinal centre. It helps generate high-affinity antibodies which will bind (or stick) to the pathogens like a chewing gum and help our body get rid of the harmful, bad germs. With age, this helpful structure shrinks in size and number, which will cause a problem. You definitely don’t like to wake up to this cruel world every morning and find yourself so vulnerable in physical health. I’m trying to figure out what causes the shrinkage of this germinal centre structure with age and if there’s a way to rescue them. When you’re young and healthy that doesn’t seem like a great issue… but we’ll eventually get old, don’t we?

There’s no longer answer, my day is just that simple and straightforward :p
