I currently study at the University of California, in Los Angeles. 2. What is your major? I am majoring in Political Science and minoring in Public Health. I chose this degree because of my interest in politics and public policy, and also because I'd love to make a positive contribution to public health initiatives. 3. What are you planning to do after your studies? After I finish my studies, I plan to pursue a career in international development, or global health policy implementation. I want to use my knowledge and experience to promote human rights, improve access to healthcare services, and create sustainable solutions for vulnerable communities around the world. 4. Now I would like to talk about swimming. Is swimming popular in your country? Yes, swimming is quite a popular activity in my country. There are numerous public pools in cities and towns that offer swimming lessons for children and adults, as well as competitive swim teams in high schools and universities across the nation. 5. Do you prefer to swim in the pool or the sea? Well, personally, I prefer to swim in a pool. While there's something special about taking a dip in the sea in summer, I find it more enjoyable to swim laps back-and-forth in a controlled environment like a pool, where I can do it in any weather. 6. Do many people in your country know how to swim? Oh yea. Most people know how to swim, especially those living near coastal regions, where saltwater beaches are more common than freshwater lakes or rivers. Even though not everyone has the time or money to take regular swimming lessons, most adults will have had learnt how to swim growing up, either at school or from family members. 7. Do you think swimming is a useful skill? Oh, absolutely! Swimming is an incredibly useful skill that everyone should learn! Not only does it help keep us physically fit by providing both cardio and muscle strengthening workouts, but it also regulates our emotions and reduces stress levels.
