For the first is China. There are a lot of martial arts born here but the only martial art that makes me want to visit this country is Wing Chun. I’ll go to south China, actually Foshan where Wing Chun’s originated. Then I’ll ask natives, where is the best Wing Chun’s school in here. And I’ll never leave this place before I rule the basics of Wing Chun.
Second is Brazil. This is the place where Capoeira is born. Capoeira is acrobatic martial art with beautiful moves. I’m going to learn Capoeira as well as the history and philosophy. I’ll go to Rio de Janeiro and sign in for Capoeira course. Then I’ll try to rule some moves, because I know learn martial art is not easy, it needs efforts and time.
The last is France. This country known for its beautiful sights and a kind of martial art or sport called Parkour. I want to learn and explore about Parkour. If I can rule the basics of Parkour, it can bolster my fight ability. Moreover I really want to meet David Belle, he is a man who popularize Parkour and also the master.

Types of adjectives
Determiner
Determiners consist of a small group of structure words without characteristic form.
1. Articles : the, a ,an
2. Demonstrative adjectives
The demonstrative adjectives "this," "these," "that," "those," and "what" are identical to the demonstrative pronouns, but are used as adjectives to modify nouns or noun phrases, as in the following sentences:
When the librarian tripped over that cord, she dropped a pile of books.
In this sentence, the demonstrative adjective "that" modifies the noun "cord" and the noun phrase "that cord" is the object of the preposition "over."
This apartment needs to be fumigated.
Here "this" modifies "apartment" and the noun phrase "this apartment" is the subject of the sentence.
Even though my friend preferred those plates, I bought these.
In the subordinate clause, "those" modifies "plates" and the noun phrase "those plates" is the object of the verb "preferred." In the independent clause, "these" is the direct object of the verb "bought."
Note that the relationship between a demonstrative adjective and a demonstrative pronoun is similar to the relationship between a possessive adjective and a possessive pronoun, or to that between a interrogative adjective and an interrogative pronoun.
3. Possessive adjectives
A possessive adjective ("my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," "their") is similar or identical to a possessive pronoun; however, it is used as an adjective and modifies a noun or a noun phrase, as in the following sentences:
I can't complete my assignment because I don't have the textbook.
In this sentence, the possessive adjective "my" modifies "assignment" and the noun phrase "my assignment" functions as an object. Note that the possessive pronoun form "mine" is not used to modify a noun or noun phrase.

Here the possessive adjective "your" is used to modify the noun phrase "phone number"; the entire noun phrase "your phone number" is a subject complement. Note that the possessive pronoun form "yours" is not used to modify a noun or a noun phrase.

In this example, the possessive adjective "his" modifies the noun phrase "favourite type of bread" and the entire noun phrase "his favourite type of bread" is the direct object of the verb "sold."
