Fall Break

Let me tell you about my fall break last week.
We went to visit my brother, my sister-in-law and my niece. They are living in Worthington of Minnesota 3 hours drive from Blaine, Minnesota.
On the first time after they moved from Minneapolis we never went to visit them so they are very happy. We were very happy too.
Also we like the area around their apartment. It was very green and quiet. I really enjoyed being there.

Nurse

In my country when the people are sick, they go to the hospital. The first person that they speak before the doctor is a nurse. This job is highly respected because the people talk to them with respect. The nurse helps the doctor, takes your temperature and asks you about how you feel. If you want to be a nurse you need to go to the school and learn many topics about the human body. I think that it is very hard to study, but the nurses are very happy to learn a lot of topics about how to help other people. The salary isn’t much but is good. My mom is a nurse and I think that she is the best nurse that I know. I wouldn’t like to be a nurse but I think that this job is very important in the community, because they help other people to feel better.

My Fall Break

I would like to tell you about my fall break. I walked in the park, I read books in English language, and I spoke English with my friends.
Every evening I walked with my friendly friends in the small park. That nice park is not far away from my apartment. In the park we saw beautiful birds.
On the last week every afternoon I read some interesting books in English language. I borrowed those books from the library. Some friends listened to how I could read.
I spoke English with my neighbors and friends. I tried to speak English well. My nice neighbors and friends were happy when I spoke English with them.
I really liked my fall break. I did my things every day. I think I would have sometimes free time for my things.

Fall Break

I would like to tell you about my fall break. I liked this time, because the weather was nice, and I had a lot of free time. I did not things. I was reading a book, I was listening to music, and playing with my children.
On Sunday morning I got up at eight o’clock and went to the park with my children. We played soccer and other games, we rode the bikes.
Usually I don’t have free time for reading, but on Sunday I had. I could read the Bible. I got many advices from the Bible for my life.
In the evening I was listening to music. Because when I am listening I am quit and I feel well. My favorite songs are about God.

FALL BREAK

I would like to share how I spent my fall break. I went shopping, walking and I was watching TV.
On Saturday morning I got up at 7:30 and made some breakfast for my family. I made some pan cakes and scrambled eggs. After having our breakfast my son and I went shopping at Wal-Mart and at Target.
The weather was very nice during the week. We used to go to the park for an evening walk and we enjoyed walking.
During the night time I watched TV, because I didn’t have to go to the class next day. I really enjoyed watching different shows.
Finally my fall break was past really quickly. I enjoyed my fall break very much. I wish this break could come every other month.

Doctor

The doctor is important for many people. They help sick people.
The doctors work very hard, because they stay long time at a hospital for a job. They take care of sick people and check them up. When the sick people get well soon, doctors feel very good. The doctor is very happy and successful.
The income is very high, many years ago in my country, I was a doctor, and I like that job.

I would like to tell you about my fall break. I cooked, listened to music and played the piano. I taught my daughter to read.
I like to cook for my family. When during the fall break I cooked different especially tasty delicious food that I don’t have time to do during other weeks. My family and friends were glad to eat. When I relaxed from different housework I listened music, from TV, radio, sometimes played the piano or accordion, and of course I listened with pleasure to my oldest son- Vladimir, playing the guitar.
While every day fall break, I taught my youngest daughter to read in our native language. Her name is Nelli, and she is five years old.

For example: Russian ravioli, different salads, soup, meat, and other things. I can make buns and cakes. In my country I had very good friends. The best one is Diana. I know her from school. She can always help me if I need help. I often call her from America and we talk about our problems or our funny situations. One unusual thing about me is that I can wait for a long time. I waited for 8 years to come to the USA. My husband had to become an American citizen first. Then he started to file documents for us. It was a very difficult time. But now we are together and it’s all right. Now we have another problem. It’s the English language. But I think I can learn it!

Truck Driver

In my country I was a truck driver about 10 years. This job is very hard, but I’m always happy, because I could help everybody pick up anything, come to anywhere. They study for a truck driver for a short time [about one month].It is very easy to find a job. Somebody doesn’t like that, but I like it because I can know and visit some other cities, have a lot of friends. My family is better for a life from that job. Every day I worked hard, but I like it very much.

Teacher

Teacher is one of many important jobs. Every body’s begins with study. Teachers teach children in kindergartens, schools, colleges, universities. They prepare people for life. Every job needs teachers, because before working we need to study how we need to do our job. People who have this job have patience, and are very smart, and clever. From these great people will depend what kind of people grow up and future of the country. The only problem is teacher’s salary is small and they are not so rich. But they like this job, because every morning we could see them happy. It is a very difficult job, because they study people with different characters, and habits. I thank every teacher who has patience to see my face every day in school.

S.P.

TEACHER

Some people who are very smart have this occupation. In my country teacher is a good occupation. When children go to school in September they get flowers for teachers. Teachers don’t have a lot of money. Teachers help children to become good people. We like this occupation because those people work very hard. Teachers are happy if they can help has people know more about life and be better.
