Three Things that you learned
Topic
Before writing, first you must think one topic about your writing to decide what you need. That I important for you writing because it can help you delete anything don’t about the topic. Next you think many ideas about the topic. Then you choose best one to use it in your writing. After that, you write concluding sentences in the beginning, and you can write more sentences about the topic. Last you make the topic process. Put all sentences together to make big and nice story in your topic. You write complete topic. In my opinion have a good topic can attract many reader to find and read your writing. This is writers’ first step of success in the writing.

Big sentences
In you writing you must make big and strong sentences to tell anther people more information about the topic. How do you make strong sentences? That is easy to do. First, you use “who, where, when, what, why, and how” to ask questions about the sentences to get more information to write in your sentences. Second’ you can make bigger sentences again and again. For example: you can put adjective before the noun words and adverb before verbs into the sentences to make strong and distinctive sentences. Last you must check you sentences is true and add all things don’t have mistakes. That is important for you to do in the finish the writing. In my opinion make big sentences can write good story also can help you improve English for yourself.


Use Time
The time is very important for everybody because time is money, so we need to use true and complete time in you writing. These are about time questions words “When, What time or day, How long, and How often”. You need to complete answers them. “When” you need to answer date. What day, month, and year. You must use in before the year, on before the day, at before time, or for before the how much time. “What time” you need to answer accurate and detailed time. “How long” you need to answer long or short time to give a number of times. “How often” means you do some things how many times in a day, week, month, or year. Sometimes you can use these words. They are “always, usually, often, sometimes, or never” etc. In my opinion don’t miss every promise and meeting. Time cannot be stop or writ for you so don’t make false time in your writing.

I know them are important for write litter and work at reports to tell anther people, what do I think about in the writing.

1. Grammar
Teacher has taught us about verb, gerund, and infinitive, subject, nouns, and adjective. For example, we have used those in the paragraph of journal. When we write sentences, we use the past words in there. Sometimes, teacher gives us grammar exercise without writing. So we always do grammar exercise in class. It was not very hard, but we need to study many things such as memorizing the word or remember all the past words. The grammar is one important in the English. So we must learn this. If we study grammar we can get more knowledge about English, and grammar is important in journal too because I can write the journal more fast. We can improve our English quickly. In my opinion, I studied a little hard because I memorize many words about grammar, but those were good for me because if I talk with my friends, I can use it.
2. Think about topic
We have written the journal is homework, but we need have thought about the topic. For example, we think many ideas for the topic. We think far and with short sentences and close the one story. The topic can not be long sentence. We control the story and it must be together with example. So we think topic for this journal to write our story. So we can finish it with our all of the ideas. This story was good in this topic because all stories were same thing with topic. We explain our story both good for the topic. So this journal and topic were being nice. In my opinion, I think this was god for the all the journal because the on journal need one topic, and we can have get a lot of ideas for the journal.
3. Fix the article
When we in the class, we have write the journal. For example, we need to check with teacher after we finish, and I fix the mistake of grammar. I order the words in this article. I eraser the wrong and repeat words, and change to the true. We need to write the complete sentences and the end of conclude, it must similar with topic sentence. It is important when we write the journal because we need have end in this story. The article should describe our information about this topic. We have asked questions about the topic, and write those things in the article. So we can finish and check this article quickly. I have learned how to fix the story. In my opinion, I was learning to check my journal such as grammar or sentences or words spelling. Those were important in the journal because if we write the journal, and if we had mistake, it is not good for this work. So we need to fix our journal, and our journal will be well.

In this class, I have improve my English, and I write journal have more idea.

I learned this grammar, when I write journal reduce a lot of mistakes, and I make sentence and speak with people reduce a lot of mistakes. Because when I just came here, my English is terrible. When I speak English, my grammar always have mistakes. I didn’t understand other people said what. Because when I just came here, all classmates speak English and I don’t understand their say what. So I often found Jiawen to help me translate. I learn new grammar, and I do a lot of practice questions, I make sentence and speak with people to reduce a lot of mistakes.2.

For example, before I write journal I didn’t know how to write and I didn’t have idea. Once I write journal I use 3 hours, but I don’t finish it. Because I don’t have idea. In this class, I write many journals and each is different, so I write journal have many idea now. If write a thing, I will first write this thing have what features, then write one example or two example. In fact, writing journal is not difficult.

Three Things that I Learned
I have taken the ESL classes for almost 5 months, and I learned many things from the three ESL classes.
First, I learned Grammar. When I came here my grammar skills were very not good, so I couldn’t speak, and write English well. For example, I couldn’t speak and write anything accept my name, age, where am I from. These days, I think my English gets much better than at the first time when I came here because of the grammar skills that I learned such as, the past participle, the past present perfect, the past present perfect progress, when I use to, how to use that, whom and who, which verb use with ~ing, and many words from that sections. At the beginning of the class, I thought that this class is nothing different with grammar class in my country, but it was very different. For example, after I learned about to, I started use it naturally when I talk in English. When I learned English in the Korea it never happened because I learned it in Korean language. That’s why I was excited about it because I thought my English is finally getting better. In my opinion, Grammar is most hard part of English, but if I learn grammar it’s very useful and makes my sentences more long and special. Also, it made me can make new sentences in speaking. Anyway grammar is important, so I think I have to learn and study hard.
Secondly, Listening/conversation class was very easy to me because I already learned about it, but this class made me use basic words and order of grammar of English in the conversations naturally. Also, Mrs. Walter always fixes my pronunciation, if I pronounced wrong. It made me care about pronounces of my speaking such as; pronounce of R, L, F, TH, Z, and V. For example, In the physical science class, I need to read a book in loud voice, so Before I read a book, I check words that have Alphabets R, L, F, TH, Z, and V. Then I try to pronounce those words correctly, so Mr. Howell said” Good job”. In my opinion, this class make me sure about my speaking was right or wrong, so I can speak more confidently.

Third one that I learned is writing skills. Before I came here, writing was most hard part of the English for me. For example, when I was in the English academy, they order to me write about you, and I could only write my name and age. In this class I need to write journal every day, and I need to use some words in my journal such as, before, after, than, so, and, but, and because. It was hard and took a long time for me to get it done. However, exactly It made my writing skills improved. For example, I can write journal least 40 minutes and longer than 8 sentences. Also, my sentences in my journal changed to longer than 7 words and there are many examples. In my opinion, make sentences was very hard for me, but now I have wrote journal every day, it made me writing sentences easily. I think write journal everyday was hard for me, but it helped a lot for my writing skills.
In my opinion, my English skills are not enough to have a chat with American or take a normal English class, but I’m happy about my English skills are improved. I think in next semester, I need to study really hard for my next year to take normal class with American students.

3. I know many words.
My reading skill was terrible before because I didn’t know many words’ meaning. In this class, I often meet with words I have never seen. In this class, we often need to talk with classmates. Sometimes I ask questions to use words, but I didn’t know how to say. I can find meaning in dictionary and remember it. For example, when I just came here, my English is terrible. Once I speak English with Venus, then I don’t knowhow to say “perfect” this word. So I find dictionary and remember it. After I speak English with classmates when I meet I don’t know how to say word, I find dictionary and remember it So in this class, I learn many knowledgeable about writing journals with new vocabularies.

3 things about me learned in ESL class.

The first thing is Every time, before quiz and test, almost students need study. For example, if tomorrow we have ESL test, so today night we are vary busy. I also study at late night for long time. Sometime, I don't understand some words, and then I going ask Caden the question, he always teaches me how to do it. Remember the words are very important. When I'm ready, then I'm going to bed.

The second thing is I form ESL class I learned English is very important. In the American, You must learn English because if you want talk with other people, you must speak English, and listen it. English is fairly important. For example, in American, almost teachers are American, they speak English, if you don't know what did teacher says, so you can't understand. In ESL class, I want to talk with other people, I must use English. So English is very significant.

The last thing is I learned how to improve my English .For example; Firstly, I need usually talk with other people by English. Secondly, I should remember more English words. Then, I have to do more exercise and writ many story. After that, I need always read English book. The most important thing is paying attention in the ESL class.

On the conclusion, I believe that I learned this is very good for me. I feel happy in ESL.

Three Things That I Learned

-The way of grammar.
Grammar is basic of English, if you want to learn English and to be better, you should study grammar first. Grammar also is first term of ESL class. Grammar which is new for me is difficult, but we have to study grammar. In the beginning, I think present, gerunds and infinitives are the most difficult which I confuse about. I always get the lowest grades on the test. For example, I got 34 % on my first grammar test. Billy told me, “You should find the way that everything could be easy to learn. You should remember these words. This is an only way can be faster to improve your English.” so, I who try to find the way changed the way. I did more exercise in ESL class and listened carefully. My grammar is improving. I can that solve about grammar questions get better grades in ESL class. I sometimes can get 100% on test. I think I found the way to lean grammar, as Mr. Nakagawa’s words, “You need to push more.” I will follow the way until I think it is enough.
-The Way of Writing.
Writing which is harder than the simple grammar depends on grammar. I learned four things about writing from ESL class. First, prewriting, at this step, we begin to get ideas and make a topic. The topic has to specific and small. For example, once my topic is “My friend”, it’s not specific. We should show the reader “who is he or she”, “How is she or he” in the topic. After prewriting, we need a controlling idea to follow the topic. Then we should write complete sentence, these sentences have to be in order and make sense. We should write the example about the topic or controlling idea. We need to make sure they are organization, and they are true. You cannot write “second, what we do something” for first sentence. Third, edit, we need to check the grammar and fix them. My writing likes Chinese English, and this is my problem. Like good good study, day day up. This is classic Chinese English. I shouldn’t write that. These sentences we should edit out are nothing about topic. Like your topic is “My friendly friend is Alan”, you should edit out this sentence, “Kevin is quite.”Finally, concluding sentence, do not doubt we have to make a good concluding sentence. If you have a good one, we will call it has a beginning and an end in China. In my opinion, these four steps that easy to write can help me to write a complete article. I should follow these steps every times when I get writing. This is the way I learned from ESL class to write.
-Listening Skill
In fact, the listening skill is useful to live and to study. You who don’t have listening skill cannot do anything, but you also can learned it from everything. I also learned the listening skill from ESL Grammar or ESL Writing class. My problem is pronunciation: I usually do not know what teacher and students said. I asked the teacher about conversations that is hard to read, I talker more with classmates and teacher. When I was listening , I paid enough attention to the important words , it’s a easy way to know other people said .I also can understand the people said, even if some words that I cannot understand, I can guess the meaning form the begin of the sentence and then end of the sentence. For example, math words are difficult, but I can understand the math teacher said. From these ways, I’m sure my English is changing all the time. I can understand Mr. Nakagawa said. I think if I listen the radio and talk more to follow this way that can be great. The listening skill is easiest to improve and it is of great use for study and lives.
Thanks these skills which learned from ESL Class, these three things help me to study and live better in America.

I think in next semester, I need to study really hard for my next year to take normal class with American students.

Kevin TSeng12/15

writing2A Kevin Tseng 12/15/09 3 thing that I learned in ESL class. 1. From the class starting to now, I have learned many things about organization. I organized

many sentences and chapters to make them perfect and good. I combined many ideas to make a

better one. I found some useful and helpful sentences and words to make a complete paragraph.

When I followed the writing progress which ESL teacher taught me, I could understand all and

feel good in my writing skills. For example, before I took the writing ESL class, I did not

understand what controlling idea and topic sentences are. When I took the class, I can clearly

understand them and used them in a sentences or a paragraph exactly. In my opinion, I thought

this class really helped me a lot in my ability of organization.

2. When I joined the ESL writing class, I did not know many words. After I joined the class, I

learned some hard words. When I studied a textbook, I would remember some phrases and words

that I did not understand. For example, when I read a chapter or an article, I could find some hard

words like "Specific" and some phrases like "Step by step". I often listened how a teacher

pronounced them, next I would speak loudly and correctly. I sometimes wrote them on the paper

again and again. I would use these new words that I memorized to make a sentence and

paragraph. I did not like to memorize words and phrases because it is very tired. In my opinion, I

thought it is important for me because memorizing many words stands for doing a splendid

article.

3. When I wrote a article or a chapter, I sometimes did some grammar mistakes. After the ESL

teacher checked my articles or chapters, he usually found some grammar mistakes. I would

correct them and remember the rule of grammar. Then I can make my articles or chapters exact

and right. I often practiced my grammar skills when I was in ESL class. Some grammars are

similar, but since I took ESL class, I could clearly know what the difference is. For example,

before I took ESL class, I did not understand what the difference is between "That" and "Which".

When I took this class, I understood the two words could change with each other. In my

opinion, I thought grammar is very important for me because if I do not understand grammar, I

cannot make a correct sentence.

I hope I can get more useful information about writing skill in the future. Also, I hope I can pay

attention to the ESL teacher carefully and hard because I sometimes do not listen to the teacher

and miss some important information that the teacher teach us. I think if I pay attention to the

teacher more carefully, I will get a better grade than before and make my English progress.

Then, I have to do more exercise and writ many story. After that, I need always read English book. The most important thing is paying attention in the ESL class.
On the conclusion, I believe that I learned this is very good for me. I feel happy in ESL.

3 Things That I Learned.

-Organizing Ideas. The information in a paragraph needs to be organized.
The writer must put the information in order. This makes the paragraph easier to read and understand. There are many ways to organize a paragraph. For example we can use time order. Also we can decide what information from the list can we use and what information cannot use. For example, I need to limit my paragraph. I have to decide what information from my list to keep and what information to leave out. In my opinion that works to make a good paragraph to use when I’m studying because it gives me a perspective to understand.

-Using Prepositions. Prepositions are usually small words, such as with, in, and at. A preposition and a noun form a prepositional phrase. These have many uses .For example; they can be a time expression. Time expressions tell when something happens. A time expression can go at the beginning or at the end of the sentence by putting a comma after a time expression at the beginning of the sentence. For example “They see each other on Weekends. Also I use in + a part of the day. Exception: Use at + night. For example: “Call me in the morning”. In my opinion this is an essential item, that we can use when writing and also when we talk.

-Makes A Complete Sentence. A sentence must have a subject. There must be a verb in a sentence. A subject can be a noun or a subject pronoun. Then the subject comes before the verb in a statement. Also a verb can have more than one object. For example: Mister Nakagawah told me that I need to write a simple sentence, so I wrote this: “Has five people in her family” and then he said that something is missing, he asked me: “ Who?” So the subject is missing. Then I wrote this sentence: “She has five people in her family” Then, this is not a complete sentence either. There are not verbs, so I wrote: “She has five people in her family playing football”. Now it is a complete sentence. In my opinion we must learn this subject because English is essential to communicate with people of another country Now I'm studying and trying to improve my English and get better every day. I’m still studying. I have come to accept that for me learning English will be like Spanish. That is to say, even when I am in Mexico speaking my own language and living in my own culture, I continue to learn new aspects of the Spanish language. English will be the same. Just as I will never “Know” Spanish, I will need to continue learning English for the rest of my life.

I went to swim for 2 hours. Then I went out for shopping, I was so tired. I saw very big buildings that look likes made by glass. When I get in one of the big building, there was really high and almost straight slope moving stairs. It was scary me. After that, we went restaurant for dinner, I ate pig’s skins. It smells was normal meeting smell but it was spicy, sweet and it was crunch. Before we leave that restaurant, they gave me tea and it was smells like sand, so I said to mother this is wayward tea, but my mother liked it. Next day we had almost same schedule with last day but at nigh we went to night shopping malls on the street there were many people from Hong Kong and they spoke English to us. There were little key chains, little coin wallets, statues, and dolls. Little coin wallets were very colorful for example, they were pink, blue, grin and brown, also they were flowers pattern on them. It was so pretty, so I bought much kind of them for my friends.

A big earthquake
It had a big earthquake in china last year , it made me really surprised.
At 2:28 pm on May 12, 2008 in Wen Chuan Si chuan 8.0 earthquakes occurred. Cities nationwide have felt. When earthquake happened, I was sleeping, and I did not know anything about the earthquake. I was wake up by cell phone. I saw many massages and missed calls from my phone. All of information about the earthquake, just beginning, I thought it was a joke and today wasn’t April 1th. When I watched the TV, I knew it was true. it was wrong surprised for me, but I was wrong. It wasn’t enough. Nest day the newspaper that I found the news about 70000 people dead and many people homeless, the most house were collapsed. I saw the children did not have food, clothes and they did not know where his parents were. I only can see the information from the newspaper because there were no signals to relay the information. They were only kids, when I saw their dirty and cried face, I was so surprised and so sad because it was my first time to see these circumstances, it was really unthinkable and for me and this country. I gave all of my pin money to the earthquake-stricken area of the Red Cross.
This experience made me ponder: one side because of the condition of a disaster another side because of to nature was changing all the time. When you did not pay enough attention to the nature, it will give surprising to you!

Last year, I and my mother made a decision. We discussed about if I studied aboard. when I first time heard this, i did not want to go aboard to study because I was accustomed to study in Taiwan. I did not want to change the environment of studying. My mother and father tried to let me want to go aboard to study. She said many times to me. Finally, I agreed with my mother. I made this decision that I go aboard to study because I wanted to learn more English and got a green card to an American. After I went aboard to study, I felt easy and free. I hope the decision we made can be correct.

A decisions of my lifetime

In our life, we have to make decisions by ourselves, and some decisions will change our life, unable to hinder.
An important decision changed my life that study at America. This decision was by m self. I told my parents that I wanted to study the multi culture and improve my English. I also wanted leave the Chinese education because Chinese students only studied from the book, no PE, no Art, no practicing. All of the studying are for the Chinese collage enter test. The test only sees your score and on time on person one life. It’s not good for students, and it’s injustice .Most of Chinese students wore a piece of glass, including me. I thought if I kept studying at this education, I will become bookworm. After I said these words to my parents, they respected me and support me. I don’t think my decision is great, but this decision, no matter good way or bad way. I will keep going, keep going forward for myself and the person who support me.

When I was little child, I went Kindergarden, and I learned a very little bit of English words in songs.

Also my birthday is in October so it was easy to memorise. octopus was hard to pronounce to me so after kindergarden I practiced prnounce octopus in the kindergarden bus with my freinds bcause at that times English was very new language and it was interest to me.

Ski Trip

It was very fun thanksgiving break experience, and I had 3 specific fun time last week.

First, I went to Colorado with my friends. I rode in a suburban for six hours to go to Colorado.

When I arrived in Colorado ,I was so happy because It was such as beautiful state , and there was snow on the street. I love snow with cold weather so I was so excited about that. Also, there were many pretty buildings such as, a chocolate shop, clothes shops, and wine shops.

Second, It was my first time skiing. On the first day, I took ski class and I learned how to slow down when I was going too fast. Another thing I learned was how to get up after I fell down.

I had very good ski teacher. he could speak Korean a little bit and It made me laugh.

Lastly, I enjoyed going shopping because there were many sale. I bought my exercise pants and fuzzy sleeper for 50% off, also I bought earings, sunglasses and hoodies for my brother.

In my opinion, It was a very nice Thanksgiving holyday for me because, I experienced many new things and I visited many places that I had never visited before.
