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 sentenses 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.

3 thing that I learned in ESL class.
1. I learn many grammars.
Before I made sentence, I always have mistakes. Sometimes I didn’t know how to make sentences. However in this class, we usually do a lot of practice questions. I learned much grammar knowledge. My grammar is better than before. For example, I just learned this new grammar. When need add “to” and when need add “ing”. I learned this grammar, when I write journal reduce a
lot of mistakes and make sentence and speak with people reduce a lot of mistakes.
2. I write many journals.
Before I wrote, I usually didn’t have idea for journal. My grammar is terrible, and I have a lot of mistakes. In this class, we write different journal everyday, and the teacher can help me correct my mistakes. Now my English ability improves, and I know many words and have many write journal idea. For example, before I write journal I didn’t know how to write and I didn’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 face, writing journal is not difficult.
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 know
Once I speak English with Venus, then I don’t know how 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. After I am remember many words. So in this class, I learn many knowledgeable about writing journals with new vocabularies.

3 thing that I learned in ESL class.
The first thing is Every time, before quiz and test, almost students need study. If tomorrow we have ESL test, so today night we are vary busy. I also study at late night for long time. Sometime, I also don't understand some words , then I go ask Caden the question, he always teach me how to do it. Remember the words is very important. When I'm ready, then I'm go to bed.
The second thing is I form ESL I learned English is very important. In the U.S. You must learn English because if you want talk with other people, you must can 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 say, so you can't understand. In ESL class, I want to talk with other people, I must use English. So English is very significate.
The last thing is I learned how to improve my English. 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.

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.

Typhoon
Last year, I was surprised that typhoon suddenly hit north Taiwan. After the day ending, We would have a big school celebration. I and my friends prepared many food for the next day. We were very excited then. But unfortunately, a big typhoon would come in that day. The typhoon was big enough to let the celebration be canceled. When I heard this, I was very sad and disappointed. I slept in bed and thought why it was canceled again and again because I did many efforts for the school celebration. The next day, I just stayed at home. I think the typhoon really effects me a lot.

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!

My Decision
I make a decision was about studied English. I decide to remember ten words for everyday. I made this decision because my English was bad. I always repeat many words in my homework to use more words again and again. So, I made this decision to help me study good English. I think my decision is good because ten words for one day, 70 words for a week, and 3650 words for a year. If I do that. I can do good homework for teacher and much information or full and stronger sentence. So, I like this decision.

What about an Important Decision You Made.

I decided to go to America for study abroad because I want to learn the English very well. The English is very important for me because when i seek employment I need to get English grade. In addition, I want to get lots of money then I will get beautiful big house and family. I’m going to go to college in America before I will go to army. I think this decision was good. If I was in the Korea I had lots of homework, I didn’t know the English, and I need to go many academies in the Korea. It makes me get much stress.

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.
