Dear students of Taiwan,
In fact, I am not born in the year of the dragon, but it is still very interesting. I was actually born in the year of the rat. I was born in 1996. How come the year of the dragon is so popular? What year were you born in?

Dear friends from Taiwan,
Thank you for the information on the year of the dragon. I was not born on the year of the dragon. Do you know any one born on the year of the dragon? Those facts were really informative. I didn’t know that there were so many years that people could be born in the year of the dragon. Hope you write back to me soon.

I know some people who were born in the year of dragon.
They are very independent, and have their style.
I think it is not bad to be born on the dragon year.
