A Note for Exercise #19 :

I think that I have to write something even if I have nothing special to say. It's like a duty when you really want to master a language. I think that describing someone I met recently is a good material. I met a guy at an event last week. He speaks English but doesn't speak Japanese. I asked him what he is doing here. He said he is running a small company and he has a few japanese employee. They buy used cars in Japan and sell them abroad, mainly to Dubai or the U.S. I have heard that japanese used cars are very popular in Southeast Asian countries and there is a large market of used cars. But at the same time, I have heard of stolen cars that will be sold abroad. I can't help but to suspect if he is engaged in such a suspicious job. But he tried to explain that I don't have to find the job suspicious. He showed me a picture of a place where 15,000 luxury cars are collected and shipped every week and he said there are a lot of foreigners who are engaged in the business. That seemed to me completely mysterious, but I felt like asking more about him. He said he was born in Afganistan but his family moved to Dubai shortly after his birth. As his other family members were also working at the used car market, he also entered that world. While he was working with colleagues from all over the world, he tried to learn many languages. His spoke Farsi as his mother tongue at home and he learned English, Hindi, Arabic, and a little Chinese. His story fascinated me very much.
