"To discover nice places in the world with family of friends makes me really happy"
"Golfing with my dad and granddad is special to me"
As I said earlier, family is very important to me. The best times I have with my family. For example, I often go golfing with my dad and granddad. My granddad is quite old, but to still do that is really special to me and makes me happy.
