                                                                 Good Place to Study
        Different learning styles make different students learn better. Also, a good place to study makes people study easier. A lot of students like to study at home, but I like to study at Chinatown's library.
        First of all, Chinatown's library is a very quiet place. I need a quiet place to clean out my brain . When I have problem that I can't solve, I will hate noise. I can think anything if people are talking near by me. Also, a quiet place can help me easily to focus on the book. Moreover, when i walk into the library, i will feel comfortable to being there. There has lot of big table to let people to use. If I have any problems there, I am free to ask the people who is working there, they are happy to help me. Finally, the library was built a long time ago, so it has collected lot of helpful books. One time, I was taking a history class, my teacher asked me to write a project about the WWI. I had no idea what should i write because I don't know anything about WWI. I went to the library and looked for the books. Luckily, I fund a lot of information about it.
        To sum it up, to find a good place to study is very important. Chinatown's library is a wonderful place to study at. I like it very much.
