Learning English

I started studying English in the US in 2008. The first time I came to school to study English, I felt shocked and nervous because I don’t understand English. English is difficult because it is a different language, grammar, reading…. The most different thing about learning English is I don’t remember everything. I wish I could speak better English than I can now. I spend 1.5 hours every day learning English. I sometimes do speak English outside of school; also sometimes I read or write English outside of school. In my daily life, I have the biggest problem communicating in English when somebody asks me same questions if need help talking. The best advice I can give someone who is going to study English is before flying to US study more English because it will be better for you. When I came here I knew very little English. When I compare my English now with my English when I first arrived here, I feel happy because it is not very good yet but I can speak, read and write English.

Ivan K

Learning English

I started studying English in the US in Haiti in 1998. The first time I came to school to study English, I felt happy because I began to understand and write English. English is difficult because I cannot hear well. The most difficult thing about learning English is the pronunciation. I wish I could speak better English than I am now. I spent six hours every day learning English. I do read and write English outside of school. In my daily life, I had the biggest problem communication in English when I took a driver’s license test. I think learning a second language is easiest when you are five years old because your brain is fresh. The best advice I can give somebody who is going to study English, go to school every day , listen to the Radio and watch T.V. When I came here, I knew a little English. When I compare my English now with my English when I first arrived here, I feel happy because I can speak to my children and everybody.

Maiyia

Learning English

When I came to the United States. I didn’t speak English well. The first time when I studied English, I felt nervous because it was so different from my language and sometimes my pronunciation wasn’t clear. When I had to talk with Americans, they didn’t understand me. However, I wanted to speak with everyone and checked out children’s books from school. I wanted a stable job so I needed to go to school every day. It helps to improve my English. Afterwards I plan to go to a community college. Right now, I’m very happy studying English so I can speak, listen and write better than before. I hope to be successful in my life and get a good career in the United States.

Xu Feng

Learning English

I started studying English in my country Guinea but, we
learned British English there. When I came to the USA, I didn’t
understand American people in the airport. I asked my friend
who translated for me what they said. When I came, I decided
to go to ESL school to improve my English. The first time I came
to class, I was worried, because my pronunciation was bad. Every day, I read and watch TV. Now my English is better than in the past.

Samory

Learning English

I started studying English in the U.S. in 2008. I didn’t study English in my country, just when I was a child maybe in 5th grade. So, when I came to school here the first time, I was shocked. My first class was about a washing machine. I didn’t understand anything for a very long time. Now I come to school every day to study English. I would like to study English better, after that go to college, finish, and find a good job. I try to speak English at home, in the store, with my neighbors to improve my English. I very like teachers in this school, they are very nice.

Olesya

Teachers

I think it’s very good for teacher if she/he has a sense of humor. Sometimes it helps students. I think a good teacher should enjoy and respect students. Secondly, a good teacher should be creative and innovative. Thirdly, a good teacher should adapt to changes smoothly.

Olesya

Learning English

I started studying English in Minnesota in 2010. The first time I came to school to study English, I felt nervous because I didn’t understand English. For me English is difficult because of pronunciation and verbs. The most difficult thing about learning English is grammar. I wish I could speak better English than I can now. I spend 30 minutes every day learning English. I do speak English outside of school; I do read and write English outside of school. In my daily life, I have the biggest problem communicating in English, when my neighbors speak English with me. I think learning a second language is easiest when you are four years old; because my daughter watches TV, English is easy for her. The best advice I can give someone, who is going to study English is go to school every day, watch TV, and listen to the radio. When I came here, I knew zero English, when I compare my English now with my English when I first arrived here, I feel happy because I can help my children with their homework.

Beatriz

Homework

It is good idea for us because we can save some money for the bottled water. At my house we recycle card boards, newspapers, cans, and bottles. We don’t sort. We put everything in the bin. We don’t use the clothes and shoes anymore. We give it to the Salvation Army. We also do garage sales.

To recycle is a good idea, because that helps to save money, material

and to not contaminate the environment. It is important for

the people to know what things they can recycle or where they can –

put it. If you don’t know how you can recycle, you must call to the

city and ask them for information. When we recycle cans, bottles, old

newspaper, and magazines, we should separate them and

put the cans and bottles in a different container.

Recycling

YES! It is really a good idea to recycle because it will help a lot for all of us, like saving the trees and making our environment clean. And also we can save money. In our house we recycle cans, bottles, papers, and cardboard. I wash the empty bottles, cans, and jars to make it clean before putting in a paper bag or in a bin. And also I do the same thing for the papers shredded. I flatten the cardboard. I also recycle our old clothes and give them away for the church or bring them to the Goodwill store.
