Also, the amount of wheat farms reached its highest peak during the 1960s, so there were a lot of materials to make wheat. I guessed their job was most likely salesman and company worker because I thought there was a lot of paperwork that had to be done manually. I thought they wanted a computer because that was when the internet started to get invented, and it was the most revolutionary technology back then. ==== Answers I got ==== - She is born in Taiwanese year 33, April 3 Taiwanese traditional date - She has 7 siblings, some sisters and some are brothers. - She came to the elderly home 5 years ago, because she got hit by a car when going out to buy things - She has 2 daughters - When she was young, she liked to talk to her sisters. - She likes to plant stuff - She doesn’t like to travel, because it is tiring to - She likes to watch dramas on TV - In her free time, she likes to play board games with other people in the elderly center - She didn’t go to school when she was young, because her father didn’t allow her to - She thinks her father is a bad person, because he didn’t care about his family - When she was about 20 years old, her second brother brought them away from their father.
