My New Life

My New Life

                One week ago, I lived with a host family (American family) that was hard for me to think of can understood each other. First, on June 10, 2013 was a first day living with them. Before I live them, they asked me some question such as how old I am, why I want to live American family, and which kinds of food I like? So I answered. They told me about the cost for living with them. It was 550 dollar every month. After that, they showed me the room that I've lived in it. Second, I bought the rent for the room. Then I went on looking there all through the house. The family is husband, wife, and their kid. Also, they have three cats, one dog, and four beautiful birds. Although there were many differences between them and me, we were so much differences in the religion, and culture. Third, they afforded for the dinner on the first day dish I couldn't remember what was it name, but beans and potato. It was really good. Also, they afforded to me some drink, which called wine, but I didn't drink it. In conclusion, living with foreign family is very strange at first.

Writing Class
                Writing blue B2 is a wonderful class, which I have taken this semester. I ask myself why I like it. Because I have a great teacher teaches me a lot of things in it. On June 5, 2013 my teacher teaches my classmate and I about the paragraph and who can make correct sentence, so I asked her what is paragraph? She told me the paragraph is a group of related sentences about one topic. Then I asked her again what the topic is? She answered me the topic is a fact, something happened. Also, she explained everything about the paragraph, so she said the paragraph has three main points. For example, it has a topic, controlling, and setting. As a result, my teacher told us about the blogger.com. It is an excellent idea to write a paragraph or anything we want. On the other hand, the class was interesting. Also, my teacher helps us how can we write a prefect paragraph, and helps us for the spelling. Indeed, this semester I have a nice teacher teaches us how we can write a paragraph.
