Hi Sam

We had wonderful classes at Mon&Wed,we learnt 10 new vocabularies,they were : acute, anonymous, apprehensive, arrogant, bestow, donor, prominent, phobia, recipient and prudent.

Do you know any of these? Try to remember these words,we will probably use them to write something like last time at next class on Mon.

We also learnt how to recognize what was opinion and what was fact in a editorial,it was very useful.

Sorry you missed the classes, hope you will show up on Mon.

Why

The comments that Sam and I wrote to each other' had been removed,is there any one responsible for this? and why?

We had 6 comments and only 2 left,

I don't think we had written something wrong,and whatever who's mistake I want whose 4 missing back.

Using words that I had learnt

I had written a story instead a sentence in the class today

I have started reading my sixth book since I'm taking this class,

it really surpass my expectation,I would never conceive I could do this before taking the class.

I'm eager to learn and read as well as enjoin it.

I hate language inhibit me to find a job that is my passion just like what I had done in Beijing.

I like to work,it's not for supplement income for the family,believe it or not,I was a workaholic, got out my house at 9 in the morning,came bake at 2 in the middle of night every single day,no weekend,no holiday.

However,life is changing, and I derived happiness from what I have now,that could compensate what I had lost.

Hi every one,
If i could change any thing in the world,
i would finish poverty....
so that no body would have been in need of something,
or nothing would inhibit them from achieving their goals.
that really makes me feel very sad, Specially when i hear or watch programs about poor and needy people.
they can not afford to feed their children.they raise their childern in a different world, a world that is out
of Education, good environment and healthy food.
It is all because of poverty.i am very thankful to those Organizations that help these poeple.
folks if i could do anything i would really finish poverty.

Monday was a good day!

Hello classmates, im here to let everyone know that today was a good day. even though Karen was out today we did manage to work with one another as a group and we shared all of our vocabulary words that we have written in sentences. everyone has done a great job, we also did a great job with answering the questions about the editorial that we have read. lets continue to keep up the good work. i will see everyone on wednesday.

Things I feel upset

The things make me feel upset are not wars or

corruption, I hate those though.

Something that makes me feel really upset is I have to leave my world behind.

the world I love

the world where I was born and grew up;

I left my parents and friends behind,

they mean everything to me

we shared fear,grief,joy and love together

I like living here, this is the new world to me

I like my beautiful new house,my lovely dog, the environment,the kindness people.....

the problem is I can't have them all at the sane time

This is really upset.
