My Friend

I would like to tell you about my friend Andrey. He came to the Minnesota with his wife seven years ago. When he came to the USA he didn’t know English, he didn’t have a job, and he didn’t know anything about this country. He told me it was a culture shock for him when he came here, but he began to study English, he found a job and now he is great. He knows English, he has a good job, and he bought a beautiful house. His life is good.

Vadim

My Father

Thirty five years ago my father was so bad about his life; his life was evil, because of the war, little hope of life, little food and unhappy, without appreciation for the future that will come. When, he got married with my mother, he didn’t have expectation of the future because of the Vietnam War.
He had hope of better life and he would need to work hard. First step was plan like how to escape that war, second leave the little he had in his native land, home and relatives; third step begins his life again try their luck with my mother. After all planned, he fled the war with his fishing boat, helping over 20 people, all escaped with little money, few food and fuel to travel to Japan. There they were permitted only one year and they must leave. He did not speak Japanese language only Vietnamese. He worked it hard, in the assemblies of automobiles. One year later he moved to Paraguay with the help of a Catholic church. He began his life back again, all new, language, culture, jobs, food and two little babies.
He determined to continue his life in Paraguay, began to study Spain, worked on farms in the planting of tomatoes, potatoes and some fruits, creation and production of chicken eggs. He worked as selling, servicing of watches, tried everything to keep the family. He learned the culture of parents wondering about the future of his eight children. Five years later he opened his grocery store, with specially food, vegetable, and fruits.

An Excellent Student

Four years ago Pang was going to school. She was new in this country so she wanted to study English. She didn’t understand and she thought she couldn’t speak. Every day after school she studied hard because she needed to learn more.
One thing that hasn’t changed for her is that she still studies hard but she likes it. Now she is an excellent student because she is never late and she is on time, also Pang does her homework and follows school rules. She is a good attention in school and her English is better than the first year.

How to Be an Excellent Student

Before I came to the United States, I knew none of letters in English. I was going to school. I was just like a newborn baby. I didn’t know how to speak English, read and write at all. The first week I went to school, my teacher asked, “What is your name?” And I didn’t know what she was saying to me. I thought she told me how to speak but she didn’t. She just asked what my name was. When she and any student asked me, “What is your name?” My answer back to them was, “What is your name?” They said, “No, what is your name?” with their finger pointed at me. I just said the same question back to them again. I had repeated again and again to them until they got angry with me. I thought that was the right answer to say back but it wasn’t. After a few months I knew what people tried to say. Each night I studied very hard to understand English until now.
Now I am able to speak English better. I also know how to read and write in English. Now I could help my children study, teach them how to do their homework, and meet with their teachers. Now I know how to answer any question when people ask anything about me. Now I got my diploma and I also plan to go to college. I’ll study harder to reach college one day soon I hope.

A hard-working person

I will write about a person who is hard working. This is my husband Alex. He moved to the US in 2001. He didn’t speak English, didn’t understand, and didn’t have friends. He studied English in college. He studied English in the morning and worked from 2am-6am. He delivered newspapers. When he finished college, he started work on transportation. He slept only four hours. When he finished work on transportation he starts work at the car shop. He fixed cars and painted. He worked day and night.
Now my husband has a good job. He got a license and he opened a company. My husband works in construction. He loves his job. His hobby is to paint cars. Now he is a US citizen. He speaks English well, and has a lot of friends.
I think my husband is successful.

Metro North ABE


I’m in Metro North because my sister was a student here and I saw that is a good school. The system the learning is daily and easy I think we could learn too much with them.
My goal is speak, write, listen to and reading very well as soon as possible.
I can see how the school helped me. I feel comfortable when I speak and answer better with somebody. The classes daily have helped a lot.
One important reason, it is true if you want speak other language, you can, just want and do it. There are different forms for new language. For example, we have here, conversation, newspapers, reading… and sometimes homework.

A Happy Person

My husband is very nice person. He came to the United States 22 years ago. He got married in 1997 but his exwife was not good a person. He was bored, unhappy, and he didn’t like to live with exwife together. He was very tired and unlucky. In 2003 he divorced and he got better. In 2006 he went to visit his parents and met me in Vietnam. He got married to me. I live together with him. We were happy in our wedding. Right now, he is very fun and happy. We are going somewhere together, go to work, go to the party, the shopping, the picnic… we cook and eat together, we have the same ideas. I understand him, and we have a good relationship. I think in the future we will have a baby. I will try to do something good for the family. We are very happy and a good family too.

My Childhood


I remember when I lived in Acapulco 8 years ago, I used to live near the ocean and the weather was warm. My elementary school was located in a military base, only a few blocks from my house. I used to have a lot of good friends and play games, and have birthday parties, swim in the pool, eat cake and candies. I used to visit my family, go to church very frequently. I use to go to the beach with my family; I didn’t use to swim on my own in the ocean. My cousins and I used to build sand castles, and cover our bodies with sand, and have fun in the “banana”. I used to eat seafood when I was at the beach.

About me

Metro North is a very good place for adult students to learn how to write and read in English. The best part for students is to graduate, get a diploma or GED to move on with your plan.

Childhood


My Childhood
I lived in a small town with my family in a small house. My dad and my mom worked on the farm.Most of the time my dad worked too much.
It was very hard work. I remember when I was a littie girl I liked playing with my friends all day. Spending my free time with them was fun.
I also helped my mom around the house, but I liked playing most of the time instead. When I went outside instead of doing my chores, I would Jump rope or play dolls with my friends. My childhood was a lot of fun.

Birtukan

The average size for a Russian family is five people. It includes a mother, a father, and three children. In my opinion, the ideal family size is six people; two parents and four children it’s very good to have two sons and two daughters. Women in Russia start having children in their late20’s and early 40’s.In my country, girls have children when they are 18 years old. I think that the ideal age to have children is 22years old, because they finish college and already have a job and make money. The role of mother is to raise children, take care of a house, cook meals clean house, read books for kids, and teach children how to be polite. The role of father is to make money, be around with children. Husband can help his wife with house work, for example vacuum floor, and wash dishes and other things. In Russia parenting style is to give choices, give freedom. The value of family is great. We like to be together and help each other in family, when children are small, parents give them choices, and when parents get old, and children give choices to their parents.

Childhood


When I was child I was very happy, because my parents loved me and my sister. My family spent a lot of time together. My father was a serviceman therefore my family often moved to a new place. This was very interesting for my older sister and me. I had many new friends. Usually every summer we traveled to my grandmother. She lived in the Caucasus. My childhood was happy.

The average size for an American family is four people , it includes a mother, a father, and two children, in my country, Viet Nam. There are six people in a family, two parents and four children, in my opinion the ideal family size is five people, two parents and three children ,women in the U. S start having children in their late 20’ and early30’, in my country girl have children when they are 18 year old .I think that the ideal age to have children 23 years old, because you already have job and make money. Mother in the U.S take care of a house and go to work, too. Just some stay at home .In my country almost all mother stay at home work. I think that the ideal age for women in my country to get married in late 20’.they should have a job before having a baby and need to go to work. Father in the U.S make money and share the house work with wife. I n my country almost men just go to work to make money and never share house work with women. In my opininion the ideal is that both go to work and share house work and take care of children. It is not just for women .In the U.S parent give children their choices and consequences,in my country children usually listen to parent,Ithink that ideal parent need to give freedom

My first friend was my neighbor. Her name is Hoa, she’s the same age and height, and we played jump rope. She’s very nice friend. I remember my father taught me how to make net and go fishing on the boat. My mother taught me how to cook and clean the house together with my big sister, she’s learnt faster than me. Now I want to be a child again. When I was a child I had a lot of fun.

My parents went to work every day. They worked on the farm. I helped my parents at home. I always cleaned our house and sometimes I cooked. My mother taught me how to cook. I liked to cook soup and mashed potatoes.
My school was located far for me, but I liked to learn and I had many friends. Often after school we went to my house and played.
I have two sisters. They loved me a lot because they were older than me. When I started going to school my sister already finished school. They lived in another city but often came home and gave me presents. We worked together in our garden and relaxed. I was very happy. This was a good time in my life.

Nina

Childhood


When I was a child I lived in a small hose with my brothers, sister and parents. I remember the time when I went to primary school in first grade. My first teacher taught me how to write and read. I liked to go to school but after two weeks I lost interest in going to school because I started to write with my left hand. The teacher would always hit me for that. She told me that she was going to hit me until I learned how to write with my right hand.

Valeriu

My Childhood


When I was a child, I lived in the country. My parents had a big house. It had 5 rooms and 2 rooms-kitchens. I liked read books alone in my rooms, in our house.
I have one sister. Her name is Oliga. She lives with her family in Moldova. I remember how my family often went to the beach on the sea. Together we swam and played. I like to drive a car, because my father taught me that in my childhood, when I was 5 years old. My mother taught me how to cook different food. I like my mother’s cake.
My first friends were boys from my street. We liked to have picnics very much. I played basketball and volleyball. I liked swimming and playing with all children. I have many memories about my childhood!

Natalia

My Childhood


My family lives in the city of Minsk in Belarus. My family is my parents, my sister and I. I had a very happy childhood because my parents liked me and my sister a lot. Every summer my family liked to travel together. We visited many beautiful places. I had many toys and dolls. I liked to play with dolls. I sewed clothes for my dolls with my mother. And I built a little house for my dolls with my father. I read many books with my parents, and I very liked it. Every weekend we visited a park, or forest, or river, or museum, or village of my grandparents, or other interesting places. My family was always together. In my childhood I had many friends. Some of my childhood friends are still my friends now. My parents gave me a happy childhood, and I am very grateful to them.

I remember...


I remember I lived in a small house. My grandma taught me how to be a good person. My grandma was my best teacher. When I was a child grandma always told me to respect other people. I remember my best gift from my grandma I was 11 years old . I waited for my birthday on the 22nd of January. I liked to play basketball and she knew I wanted a basketball ring but we didn’t have much money and my father was never with us. That day she told my uncle to put the basketball ring in front of the house, I remember how happy I was because we never received any gifts. I remember how happy I was and how happy my brother was because he played with me every day.

Hector

My Family in America


The average size for an American family is four people includes a mother, a father, and two children in my country Mexico there are seven people in a family: two parents and five children. In my opinion the ideal family size is four two parents and two children women in the U.S. start having children in their late 20’s and early 30’s in my country girls have children when they are 15 years old. I think that good age to have children is 25 years old, because you al reedy have a job and make money. The role of mother in the U.S is to raise children to have good attention.
In my country the role of mother is different because they opportunity to clean house, watch children and make food. I think this is good because you can see everything about your child & your house. Father in the U.S. make money and shave responsibilities.
In my country it is different because they work all day can’t help around the house.
My husband helps me around the house with my boy and sometime, He makes good food. The parenting style in U.S. is to give choice, give freedom & consequence. In my country the father makes a decision for the child until becomes an adult. I believe that parents must make decision for everybody but also give choices freedom and consequence. A family in the U.S. has a great support. In my country the government is corrupted and you can’t do anything. The relation between children and parents in U.S. is based on trust. In my country parents make decision for you. But in my family we have good communication with my parents and my brothers and sister, I want this for my family too, I believe in my husband and my son always. We can speak like a family.

An Important Day

Let me tell you about a worst day in my life. That is 11/7/06 at 3:00 P.M. I had injury by the machine I worked at factory. I will never forget it.
I decided to leave my country and came to the U.S. I wanted to do anything I can for the better my family. I did work hard every day, sometimes in the winter. I worked outside. It was very cold.
After two years work hard, I had some money, but didn’t have benefits and insurance, I was looking for a new job, and I had it. I very liked this job, because I like to work with machine. But after five months, I had an injury from it.
Today, two years and a half, since I had the injury, I am often angry and sad. I don’t want and don’t like anything. I want to stay alone at home only.
In my life, I have cried two times only. First my mother died, and second time is that day. I will never forget it, because I became handicapped.

An Important Day

Have you ever thought you knew someone very well and then found out that you hardly knew that person at all? Let me explain what happened.
I was playing at the playground with other kids and we had a lot of fun. We used the monkey bars, a bike and something else. Once I decided to make some toys from the small pieces of wood. So I used a knife, but I didn’t know about safety with this tool. When a ship toy was almost done, I cut my finger deeply and it bled a lot. I didn’t know what I could do to stop it.
My older brother without fear picked me up from the playground and got me aid and ordered a taxi. When the car came we went to the hospital. That happened 26 years ago, but I remember what he did exactly. It is important to know what you need to do for first aid.

A lot of people from Europe came to Baghdad. The entertainment for them is Arabic coffee. Make it in a special way, different in many countries.

A GOOD PLACE TO VISIT IN AMERICA


When coming to the United States, the first place that I visited is California. It is located in the west of America. My family and I came there to visit my relatives.
California has good weather. You can see the beautiful seashore, the forests with many kinds of trees, the hills, and many shops that sell everything.
California is a famous place that you should visit. The seashore is very beautiful so you can swim in the sea in order to enjoy waves to beat your face. On other hand, you can travel into the forests where you can discover many rare trees and animals. You also can buy everything what you want because it has many stores to sell a lot of things from cheap things to expensive things.
California is an interesting place but the price of everything is very expensive. I think it will have the ways to decrease the prices in order to visit more and more people.
To me, California is the best place that I visited. I feel living in my house when I came there because the weather is very good and many interesting places to visit. I believe California will be the best interesting place to travel in the future.

The Best Place to Visit in Russia


The best place to visit in Russia is the capital city - Moscow. Moscow is a very big and beautiful city.

I like Moscow because I lived there for many years. Any season I felt comfortable in Moscow.
When you visit Moscow you will see how hard it is to rent a car. If you want to visit some place, you have to take a bus or a taxi. In Moscow people look very rich, but not friendly.
Welcome to Russia.

A Good Place to Visit in Rostov

Weddings in Belarus

Traditional national weddings in Belarus lasted seven days. Nowadays a wedding lasts for one or two days. A bride wears a snow-white dress. A groom wears a black or white suit. They usually get married in church. Bride and groom exchange rings. Usually a bride takes her husband’s family name. The newly-married couple takes a seven-day honeymoon. They travel to another country, mostly newly-married travel to the hot place or voyage. Newly-married usually live apart from their families. In my country gifts given to the bride and groom are very expensive. This is usually like that because people think marriage is forever.

Ina

Weddings in Belarus

In my country most couples get married in a restaurant, church or home. The law allows people to get married at 18 years old. The bride and groom arrange when to get married. The bride wears a white dress and bridal veil. The groom wears a black suit. First weddings are paid by the parents. Gifts that are given are diverse, maybe a car and a house. Rings are worn on the middle finger on the right hand. Newly-married couples take a honeymoon that last one or two weeks. The month of May is a bad month to get married in; it is bad luck. Divorce is common my country.

Andrei

Weddings in Russia


In my country women usually get married when they are 20 years old and young men in his 22’s. Before getting married they are friends. A man gives flowers to a woman. When he decides to get married he gives a diamond rind to a woman. Groom’s parents together with a groom ride to bride’s house. A bride and her parents cook a special dinner for everybody. They have conversation with each other, and decide on the wedding’s date. On the wedding day, the bride has a beautiful white dress and a pretty veil on her head. A groom is in a black or white suit. Groom’s family gives half of the money for the wedding and bride’s family gives another half. They invite 200-300 guests for the party. They have good music.

Here they take many good pictures for memories. The wedding is awesome!

Weddings in Laos


Laos has wedding traditions that are totally unique, but mostly they have been taken directly from their culture. Most couples get married at a house, very seldom they go to a restaurant or church. Men are usually over 18 years old and women are over 15 years old. Marriages are arranged by the groom’s parents; and the groom’s parents have to give a money fee for a girl, about 5 thousand dollars. But after that, the bride’s parents will give the gift or present for the bride such as gold, money for a girl. Mostly the bride and groom dress like their culture. Both the bride and groom will either wear wedding bands or won’t; it doesn’t matter. They never take a honeymoon. After the wedding the bride has to stay with the groom’s family and take the husband’s family name.

Kou

Weddings in Vietnam

In my country people usually get married early. The average age is 22 years old for women and about 28 for men. In my country parents are often superstitious about the wedding. Weddings always have 2 days the first day is for the family of a bride it doesn’t have family of the groom, this is a party and it is usually for lunch. The party has a bride and a groom, the bride’s parents, relatives and friends. It starts at 11:00 am and usually the party takes place at home. When all the people come, everybody looks at the pedestal with the groom and bride on it. The beautiful bride wears a white dress. The bride’s father talks about the party and says thank you for coming to this wedding. After that the bride and groom cut the cake, open wine and kiss with a big clap from the crowd. They start to eat. The bride and the groom go around every table. They are happy for the wedding. The bride and groom choose food but it usually has soup, and, eggrolls, fried shrimp, something for appetizers, and chicken, beef, pork, and seafood. The last thing is some fruit for dessert. People who come to the wedding party usually give money for bride and groom. When the party is done, the groom goes back his house and waits for the bride to come the next day. The next morning family, relatives and some groom’s friends go to the bride’s house where the groom’s father talks to the bride’s parents. After that the bride comes in and stands next to the groom. The groom gives flowers to the bride. The groom’s mother gives her earrings and a necklace. So the groom and bride ring and the family of a bride give her something like money, gold, or jewelry. The bride goes with the husband’s family to his house. They will have party at his house too. Now newlyweds go on a honeymoon after the wedding, but we didn’t have that tradition before. They need to stay at the groom’s house for the first three day. After three days they can move to an apartment if they want. In my country we don’t change the last name after getting married, when we have baby they get the father’s last name.

WEDDINGS IN MEXICO

In my country weddings are very popular. It usually takes two weeks to prepare for a wedding. A day before, usually at night, the bride with her family goes to the house of the groom. In the house of the groom they prepare meal and it is accompanied with wine. After the dinner, they are married by the court house. They next day they are married in church. After, they go first to the house of the groom where the engaged couple dances to the first song; and after parents and friends do the same in the house of the bride. The bride only can choose a dress of white or black color and the groom’s suit can be only white or beige. If by any chance a girl is pregnant. In my country divorce is not good. The majority of the people to get married are 18 years old and older.

Yazmin

Wedding in Kazakhstan
