I rarely meet new people, because I stay at home. Now I am learning English before I go to work. Actually, I like meeting new people, I like to go around the earth, travel anyplace. So, I have to fluency in english

I'm an introvert so I don't like to get to know other people. Moreover, my job rarely has to communicate with new people. That's why I don't have the opportunity to meet them.
