@DamkerngT. Dental fricatives aren't that common cross-linguistically, although they certainly aren't vanishingly rare, either.

> 1.I do not care of being alone.
2.It is fun to go travel or do activities with friends, but doing such activities by myself also gives me a different pleasure of freedom to do whatever I want to do and go.
3.Many people get uncomfortable for eating alone. However, it is also good to eat alone when you want to concentrate on food that you have.
4.I went to Jeju Island by myself and it was my very first trip by myself without family or friends.
5.I had to eat and move all by myself. However, by doing so, I was able to pick places wherever I wanted to go instead of debating.

This kind of exercise is quite popular among some learners.
