April 25

I think everyone knows the bad news that a person who killed 32 people with a gun in the University of Virginia. It's such sad news. I also feel sad about the news.After I read it, there was a question of how the murderer could kill so many people.


Some newspapers said that the murderer killed 30people after hs first killed two people. There were almost two hours betewwn his first and seceond action. the University's afficers just sent emails to tell their students what happened after the murderer first killed two people. They didn't take any steps that protected other students.

What a surprise! There was a dangerous guy who had already killed two people with a gun and on people knew what his next step would be. I think the officerss of the University should be held responsible for the crime.

In addition, the U.S. law has a serious problem.The important reason of the muderer being able to kill so many people is that he got the gun so easily. I think everyone know that it is easy to commit a crime whit a gun. Maybe most people can control their minds, but if a few people can't, like the murderer. What should we do? There will be most people in danger. We must think about that. Some people probably think that if they have a gun, they can protect themselves. However, you can't put other people in danger for your own safely.

So I think ther U.S. should inmediately pass the gun control law and improve peoples' secure consciousness. They will make people more safe.

Global Warming

I read a newspaper article about the global warming in the world. According to the writer, we must regulate the gas emissions. If there is a failure to decrease those emissions, it will have disastrous environmental effects. In pporer countries like in Asia and Africa which are least able to defend themeselves against the changes of the climate, it's going to be hard for them. The drought and the hunger , which two things are the proplem in those countriesare going to be harder proplems for the people.
Elsewhere the climate change will lead in more disastrous effects, like severe storms, floodings and many others environmental effects.
Some of the changes have already begun, with the rise of the temperature of 3 to 5 degrees.
The scientists tell us, that the people are the cause of this proplem because when the people act , with the cars and factories, the machines emit heat and gas. But the people cannot stop acting because this is how we live.
The scientist world with confidense, agree with these climate changes because new energies will be prodused which we can use in the future for an easier life.

Is American society violent ?

The 23 years old Korean student killed 32 peopele and injured onother 35 peopel in Virginia Tech last week.
A lot of young people suffer from depression, have a variety of problems and don't talk about them , neither share with friends some difficulty that they have, not dealing with the problems by themselves.
In fact , American society is very violent. There are so many stores selling weapons and force equipmen. You can buy a gun everywhere, legally and illegaly.
I think the gun control is not very efficient and the government should work much more on it and not let people buy weapons easily like clothes!

The lost back pack

As an every day I got up early, got ready myself, had a breakfast, and I took the road to La Guardia. I arrived to La Guardia at 7:45 AM, at the entrance I showed I.D.. And then a took the elevator straight to fourth floor. Then a went to my classroom, I left my back pack there and a went to the third floor next to the coffee bar. So I spent there like a half and hour studying. Then I went back to room 409. Couple classmates was there, but my back pack wasn't there. So I thought may be somebody hide it. I asked to all of them and nobody knew it. So I lost my back pack. Then after a while a teacher told me "why you don't go downstairs and ask to the security". So I went to the first floor to ask the security and he told me " I don't now anything, you have to take care it, but just in case leave me you phone number". Then a gave him my phone number and I went back to class. In the meantime the teacher has gone to get something I don't know where. So suddenly I saw through the door a security walking by. Then I went out and I told to the security about what happened and he told me "let me see what can I do for you", so a said OK. And I returned to the class. Haven't past not even five minutes the security was at the door with my lost back pack.

Last week in Virginia a young man killed thirty two people who were college students. This event happened in a Virginia college. Most of the victims were students,and the killer was a student as well. After he killed those students he killed him self. The gunman had psychological proplems. His parents said that he was visiting psychologist once a month. Also, he was taking medicines. The reason why he did that is that he had a rivalry with other students. He was jealous of other people because they were rich and wasn't. How he acted in this, killing thirty two people, is very unusual and unsound. Is very clear that the guy was absolutely psycho.
According to what i have seen in the newspapers and the channels, my opinion on this fact is that the goverment is at fault. First of all, the security of the school wasn't as good as it must be and they didn't act very fast. On the other hand the killer was only twenty two years old and he was able to buy a gun, so somehow in my opinion the implications go on the goverment and the police.
In keepingwith this fact, i think people with psychological proplems must be watched more often. The psychologist must be stricter about that. Also, if it's possible, do not let these kind of people get in the schools.

Terrorist attack

I read about a terrorist attack in Virginia.One week ago in Virginia Tech campus a gunman opened fire in a Virginia Tech dorm,and two hours afterword in a classroom across campus.He killed at least 30 people and at least 26 were red.
Evidence suggests that the gunman was sick.He was a psychopath.But we must wonder if he had another motive and did that attack.Now according to investigators from police, the gunman didn't have motive for the attack.The security people after the first attack should have warned the students,but they didn't do it.
Now finally after that terrable event,the proper people must find ways to prevent this from happening again.
That was writting as the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S history.

verginia massacre(Hong Jun)

We heard horrible news last week about a gun accident. It made all people panic and I did too. I never heard of a terrirble accident like this time. His name was Cho. Cho majored in English at Vierginia tech and he was 24 years. One day he killed 32 people in the university.
First, he killed two people in the dormitory and then made a video tape to mail to NBC.
And he killed 30 people more by guns. We don’t know exactly why he killed non targeted people.
Investigate are under pressure to find reasons. There are many problems that occur.
The First problem that led him to commit the murders was that his state was unstable mentally. He was a loner and was taking medicine due to depression. Also he had stalked two girls of students. Indeed, he was sick.
The second problem was he could possess guns without close scrutiny.
It is not easy to keep on eyes all guns but government has to do it to prevent gun accidents.
Third one is that nobody cared about him even his parents.
They don’t have time to talk to him and he didn’t have any friend to talk about his problems. If he had any friend around him, he wouldn’t have done it. But unfortunately, he didn’t.
This accident shows us a lot of problems in U.S.A.
I think the biggest problem is about possessing private guns.
In America, we can get a gun easily almost any time, any where if we want.
So if someone decides to kill someone, he can do it without any interference. That is especially big problem in the case of someone who can’t control his mind like a teen-anger or sick man as Cho.
I can’t understand why Americans allow people to have private guns. Why didn’t they know the true that power always makes another power.
I think the most important thing we have to do right now is to make law to ban possessing private guns in order not happen like this.

Virginia Tech Happening.

A week ago, a crazy man killed about 30 people in Virginia Tech. Why did he bring about this event?
His name was Cho Seung Hee. He was 23 years old. He immigrated to the U.s, when he was a young boy. And, he was usually alone and didn't have many friends. Thus he felt very lonely, to the extent that he was going to be crazy.
Eventually, he bought 2 guns. First, he shot 2 people. Then he killed 30 people. And he was killed by himself.
Not only is this happening his responsibility, but it also is society's responsibility. Moreover, it's the nation's resposibility. This happening was very shoking. It gives a lot of meaning and thinking to us. He was alone! Of course, it was his problem and sin. But, it's not his own problem. People weren't friendly with him. Anyone concerned about him. That enviroment made him killer.
So, we should consider this happening again and again, and crefully.
We should take care of our familiar people and our mind. In addition, the U.S should do something for this happening that must not happen again!
We hope for it so much. And we memorize 32 people who are victims.

Virginia Tech Shooting

A young man killed thirty-two people last week, raising questions about American society.

It happened in Virginia Tech on April 16. A 23-year-old Korean man shot students and a professor in the hall of University and gunman committed suicide. The next day, president Bush visited the University and gave students a speech. He seemed to feel very sad, but his action contradicted his words because he ignores the problem of guns.

Obviously, crimes by guns are a big problem which should be reformed in this country and the best solution is gun control. It is very simple and clear.Why does not this country try to change? Some people think that the reason is a strong connection between Bush and the NRA. Bush persists in his position as president and people who want to keep their position and life support him. They are control ed by "fear" and "self-interest".

People who support Bush say that people need guns to protect them by offender. However, it's not true. Having guns increases the rate of crimes by guns. For example, in Japan, there is strict gun control. Only policeman, members of the Self-Defense Forces are allowed to have guns. Also, hunters are allowed but they are controlled by government completely. Therefore,The number of people who were killed by guns in Japan in the last year was about 50. On the other hand, in United States, the number was about 10,000.

Indeed,United States needs strict gun control. If people really feel sad about Virginia Tech Shooting, if people wish a shooting like this not to happen again, people should have courage and progress.

STUDENTS KILLED AT V.T.

Last week at Virginia Technologi, a 23 year-old man killed 32 people, making American Society ask themselves why?.
A man killed 32 people at Virginia Technologi and until this time people remain talking about this. Acording to the investigation made about this man, he came to the U.S.A. when he was 8 year-old, and he was a lonley man, whose parents never took care of.
The police said "he was stalking two women and he was studing at that school".Also they said that he was taking medicines because he used to suffer from depression. Moreover, he was visiting a psychologist once a month.Also they found that after he killed the students, killed himself.
In my opinion, I think he shouldn't have done what he did, because now, there
are people suffering for the lost of theirs families .
He killed those people without any reason and even if he had had a reason he shouldn't have done it.

Virginia Tech

A young man killed thirty-two people at virginia tech. Today we can't help taking up as an issue.All news treated this event the whole week.
Before the killer , who was 23years old, killed the people, he made a video filme by him self. He imitated a violent movie. In his movie, he expressed his feeling against contempolary society. First of all, he killed two people ,including his ex-girl friend. Then, 2hours later , he killed other people . Finally , he killedl him self. He got the gun very easily , and he made a plan to kill people for 2 weeks. His mind seemed to be full of anger at society, and he also had a mental illness. He was called a psycho. Today's news papers have been talking about the murder and control of guns.
Personally, I'm afraid that this event will be forgotten like our past history. According to our experience, although this event has becme a big issue right now, our society never changed. We already have had a lot of accidents by gun, and many people have been effected by violent movie. I think we have to change our attitude right now.

The Massacre Of Virginia Tech

A student of virginia tech universty killed thirty-two people in the school.

When he was ten years old, he came to the U.S.A with his parents from korea. He studied hard While his parents worked hard in order to get a green card in the U.S.A. But he had been both alone and in terrible condition. In addition, his life had been too difficult.

While he was growing up, he didn't like everybody, including rich people. He was bitter against god. That's why he was so quiet. At that time his girlfriend bothered him. It seemed he might decided to kill somebody, his brain was getting sick.

Finally, he killed many people. When I watched the accident on TV, I was so sad. I can't understand his behaivor, but I can somewhat understand his mind. I think that the lives of children who have emigrated to the U.S.A are so difficult. Not only are almost children confused their mind between different culture and language, but their parents also don't take care of them. Moreover, they are at risk of becoming sick inside. I think That's why the student of virginia tech universty killed many people.

The mister of Virginia Tech

A young man ,23years old, killed 32 people at Virginia Tech last week, raising quetions about American society.
At about 7:00 in the morning , the first crime was at the girls' domitory. He killed 2 poeple with a gun. The second happening was in the classroom at Noris hall after 2hours. He killed 33 people ,including himself. During a 2hour period before the second crime, he sent a package which included a video he made himself with a message to NBC. He had planned the crime for 2month before he died. He had mental problems when he was a child he always was lonely. HE didn't have friends until he died. The teachers and the students realized he was not a normal student.Unfortunatelly, nobody was interested in him.
The problem is that many people can possess gun easily in America. Because of that , they commit crimes eaily. The law about guns has to be changed. The second problem is that parents should ask for taking care of the problem children. They have to concerntrate on them in order to prevent their problem getting worse.
The reason why he was one of the victims is that nobody wsa interested in him.

Rampage

Last week a student on Virginia who carried a gun went into the university and shot a least 32 people. After that he put the gun in the head and he killed himself. other hand the society now need answer about gun control, but is not only this because is complicate to find what happened in each student mind when the school got many culture to deal and the physicologic problem. Now we still talking about because we need to know what happened with this student because he did not have any reason to do this until the showed the video that he sent to one tv channel. Indeed i did not want to know because he could have a reason to killed many people but i think this a problem for this society whose never look around until somenthing happened. the people are selfish here.

The Victim of The American Law

A Korean guy killed 23rd students.So many people have gotten a shock.
It happened last week in Vergiana Tech University.He was a Korean guy who was a student. However, he had mental problems. He was going crazy and made a plan. Then he gave birth to the worst situation. In fact 23rd people were killed by his gun.
America has the law that people can keep guns to protect themselves. And also they have the serious law that, if people are making themseleves secure from denger, they can shoot the gun. It's the American version of gun control.
I think America will never change with regard to guns. They need guns. In American history that is the most important.they developed their country by the gun. Today they do, too. If they don't chang the gun law, nothing can change: too many people will die, there will happend events similar to this time. I think the Korean guy was also one of the victims. He was the victim of the A merican trifling law.

VT. Massacre

A 23 year old man killed thirty two people last week in Virginia Tech Comps. It happened on Monday April 15. A Young man killed 32 people in VT. It is said that the first shooting started at 7:30 AM killing two persons, a student and a teacher. After killing those two people, it is said that he went to send a video tape to NBC news. Then when he got back to the comps after an hour and a half or two hours he started shooting again , but this time he killed 30 more people and himself.

How could it have happened?. It is the cost of the quantity of guns in the street; easy access to owning a gun, and the illegal traffic in them.

I think this wouldn't have happened if the goberment hadn't forgotten about gun control. Nowadays the technology has improved a lot and they can control everything they want. but the only thing is they don't want it. I think everything is about business.

MENTAL SICKNESS MADE HUMAN SLAUGHTER

Last week a crazy korean guy killed thirty-two people. He looked like an exterminator. One reason is that he didn't like rich people.

The police said that the crazy Korean guy was a drugaddict and alcoholic be based on his clinical history. The crazy korean guy was confined in the sanatorium for sex abuse three years ago. Last monday the crazy Korean guy went to school ordinarily but not body knew that the hell was coming. It was 7:30 am When the crazy Korean killed his first victim in this massacre. At araund 9 o'clock am the suicidal guy began the slaughter in the college campus.


The psychiatrist said that the suicidal student had the typical type of racism for white people. The report to the police concluded that the mentally sick student killed because he relieved his anger in this way. The teacher's and classmates said that he always was alone in the school and no body knew abaut him.


The fautt lies with the college because they knew that the criminal had this record. I personally can't belive that the college admitted this thug. On the other hand the college defends itself by saying that the criminal passed every test that the college had.

Tragedy in Virginia University

Since last week people have been talking about what happened in Virginia University. A student killed thirty three people, including himself. There is much speculation about American Society.
It began when a young man got in a class room and killed two people. After that, the killer walked to another building to kill the rest of the people. That list included students and teachers. I heard that when he tried to go in to one of the classes, a teacher tried to keep the door closed to help students jump from the window. It is amazing how those people were assassinated very close and very fast.
The students are dismayed, this is the worst attack of its kind that has ever happened here. Also the students and their families dont feel safe. I think they are scare to come back.
I really dont know the rason, it could be a cultural problem. Similar crimes happen in New York a lot.

Bee

Some newspapers in very small towns have the title "Bee." I'm not sure why. Maybe we can call our Blog Newspaper "The Level Four Bee."

LaGuardia

I came to LaGuardia 6 months ago.The only reason I came here is because I needed to learn the languege.In the first semester I really didn't like it , now I have found many friends and I really like it.
Here in LaGuardia all students go with programme, after instructions from the teachers.Every teacher has their own programme.and their own way who teach.All is undercontrol.Another good thing in LaGuardia we have a caffeteria.In caffeteria we can find fresh food,hot coffee and cold juice.The emloyees are very kind with customers.
I like this College and I want to stay until I'am ready for the toefl exam.

A BIG PROBLEM IS COMING ON SUBWAY TRANSIT

According to a N.Y. subway transit officer, serious trouble was coming on the subway line which is near Laguardia college and attended by Laguardia 's students. Laguardia's students increased quickly in the past few years. It also will increase fast in the future. Too many students made the trains very crowded during the rush hours. Especially in the case of 7 trains, it even made the trains unable to close the doors.

"Many people complain about the Subway Transit. It's becoming a big problem," said th head of Subway Transit " In the future, it will become more serious than now. It's time to solve this problem. I figure that the Laguardia has responsibility to solve this problem."

On the other hand, the Laguardia's officers and students had another voice. They said that the problem was caused by Subway Transit . Because their work wasn't enough, there was the problem. They should solve any problems about the subway because they are N.Y. Subway Transit . We also don't like to be a train as in a crowded market." the students said.

How will the N.Y. Subway Transit solve the problem? I don't know, but I also wouldn't like it to become a bigger problem.

Precaution of Allergies, Asthma

If you have allergies or asthma, You should exercise steadily. Not only do you have to get stress out, but you also should have positivethinking about everything. Moreover, you should have time to relax for youself. I think that stress is the worst for your allergies.

Finally, You should wash your hands when you come back home. and deposit your exercise clothes directly into the wash.

I read a newspaper about the global warming in the world and that we must regulate the gas emissions. If that failure to decrease that emissions will have disastrous environmental effects. In poorer countries like in Asia and Africa which are least to defend themselves against the changes of the climate it's going to be hard for them. The drought and the hunger which those two things are the proplem in these countries are going to be harder proplems for the people. Elsewhere the climate change will lead in more disastrous effect like, severe storms floodings and many others enviromental effects. Some of the changes have already begun with the rise of the temperature of 3 to 5 degrees. The scientists tell that the people is the cause of this proplem because when the people acting, i mean with the cars, the factories, the machines emit heat and gas. But the people cannot stop to acting because this is how we live. The scientists aggree with these climate changes because new energies will produse which we can use them in the future for an easier life.

"Why Do Teachers Use Their Left Hand"(hong jun)

"Why Do Teachers Use Their Left Hand"

We have 4 teachers,writing,reading,workshop and lestning.
Have you ever been interested in whether their using hand is right?
I'm, and I counted it. I figured out that 3teachers of 4 use their left hand.
It is really weird for me as korean. Because in my case, I've never seen a lfte handed teacher in my student life in korea. The older generation in korea tend to dislike using the left hand. So my parents always say "Don't use your left hand. That is unlucky.". I think that is from superstition.
That's one of the why left handed teacher is unusual in korea.
Also we have many classmates, about 40students including workshop.
But they have only 2 or 3 left handed person.
Indeed, we can realize that too many of our teachers are using their left hand.
It is a great coincidence in probability. I guess that a left handed person can get advantages to be a teacher or the president doesn't like right handed teacher. Nobody knows the exact reason except the left handed teachers. It would remain a mystery for Laguardia unless the teacher releases the secret.

Laguardia Needs More Security


New York colleges have the most security in the world and the most expirienced employees. Inspectors from the NYPD checked about this and in Laguardia Community college they found that was not very well secure. Also, they asked students from the school and the students said that the guards on the doors sometimes were there and sometimes were not there. Some of the students complained about this problem because they were afraid of crime. All of as know that in this decade which we live now the crime in the school has been bigger. The goverment has to protect the schools and the colleges with more security.In the case of Laguardia ccollege, just the employees were lazy it is never going to happen again.

"Why Dosen't The 7express Train Stop At 33th Street"

"Why is ESL Class Only In The C-Building?"

Our ESL students study in the C building. The C building is so far away from the subway station. So we walk to class, take about 10minutes. It's so long! If it's ranny day, we walk to the C building for 10 minutes in the rain. And the C building looks so old. Also, it's being fixed.
Moreover, the C building's facilities are worse than other buildings. And the building's mood is darker than other buildings. It's difficult for us to see sunlight.
How about the E building and the M building? The E building has automatic doors, and the center of E building has a small pace to rest outside. Moreover, swimming pool and gym are there as well as a library. M building's cafeteria os better than here, and it has a bookstore. The building's mood is brighter than here. The most important thing is taht building is close to the subway station. It can save little time. Of course, we can come early, and shoud do so. But if our class were closer than before, it would be better. I think it would be so great!
And ESL students are La Guadia students like college students. Don't forger it! We are equal.
We have right. don't we? (Haesu)

Water Break Rock

--AARON

This is an old story in china. It's said that there was a strong rock, and beyond the rock there a little water root. The water hit the rock drop by drop. The water was so soft. Nobody thought the water could change the rock. After mang years, people there saw there was a hole in the rock, and the water crossed the hole drop by drop. So the little story told us a great lesson--If you want to do something that looks hard, you should always do it, whatever you do a little every times. Don't mind how much effort you make every time. You should mind how many times you make the effort.

LEARNING TO WRITE IN ENGLISH AT L.G.C.C.

It is very difficult, because most of the time we don't know what to write about. But some time's we don't know where to start from. that's why so many students fail in the essay test. But I think practice is very important, because somebody said, "practice makes perfection".
when we chose a topic, we we must know the subject to create so porting sentences.
so, to be the most, we have to study very hard, practice a lote, In others make a sacrifice. Because nowadays nothing cames easy.

"LaGuardia Has Gorgeous Campus"

Campus are necessary to have in schools. Especially in college, campuses are the great places for students to relax. They let them forget about classes, teachers and books. Just relax your body and mind, and look around you, you may find a girlfriend or a boyfriend to make your college life more interesting. Whihout campuses, students stay indoors for a whole day, breathe the air that people have shared for a long time. Maybe you will walk by some handsome or pretty people, but it is just too bad, as you got no chance to talk, because they are just too busy.
what I say above it is a good sample of campus, which LaGuardia does not have.

About La guardia

When I came th firts day to this school ,I really did not like it here because the environment seemed so boring and you could not find the classes,The firta dy it took almost 20 minutes to find the class for me.

Bye the way,elevators are really complicated for a person.For example,one is going just 1st. to 3rd floor.If you go to the 4th floor you shoud use antoher elevator and a different zone,Also stairs like that.

When you try to go upstairs absolutely you have to find correct satirs .If you can not find them.you could wait a person to rescue you.(I waited 20 minutes the first day of school)

And cafeteria is another problem .If you want to get something,absolutely you should go 5 minutes before the break.Otherwise, you can not eat anything.

And now good things:Teacher are really amazing(i hope Kevin can not find a mistake)When you need something,they can help you.They reveal the ways and they support you very much.

And the main point is ,education is important here.Maybe you can not feel it but they educate you very well.

Why Am I Here?

There is a student who somehow went up Level 4 this semester.But he has speaking and listening problems as well as reading problems.
Sometime he can't understand what teachers and classmates say but he is acting as though he is the same Level as his classmates. So he has to study hard and trying it.
One day, he studied English until Late night. Afterword he went to bed . He was thinking about tomorrow's class and was falling into deep sleep. It happened that the next day, he actually woke up at 2:00pm. He forgot to set the alarm and he couldn't got up in time to go school. He got a shock! Although he did homework, he couldn't go to school. He made a mistake and a bad cycle was born.
However, he keep studying until late night so he always looks like sleepy and might not concentrate. But you don't care about him!

"15 Koreans in a class! "

Some Korean students in LaGuardia ESL got angry last semester because 15 out of 23 were Korean students in their class.
According to a Korean girl student, Amy, of Queens, "It was unfair.We had too many Koreans and It's the same as the situation when I studied English in Korea."
The average number of Korean students in a class in the same level were 7.8.There were 9 classes in the same level, but only that class had a big Korean population.
According to a teacher, "LaGuardia ESL divided students each class in the same level automatically,without consideration of nationality.That's why it happened." Moreover, she added that she informed the office about the issue.
"If it happens again, I'm going to change the class," the other Korean student said.On the other hand, some students had fun in the class. A Korean man said, "I made a lot of Korean friends.They all were nice."

A loner killed...

A lonly man , 22 Verginia tech, killed 33 students includ him at Verginia university. He moved to America as 8years old. His parents were always busy to work. Unfortunally, He grew up lony without conversation with them. While he grew up, he didn't have friends almost nobody around him. When police investigated it , people didn't know him well enen Korean community at Verginia University. He planed to kill his girlfriend because she changed mind about him but , truly, they didn't have any relationship between them. he was a kind of stoker.
In my opinion, this is show the problems about immigrants in America . He didn't overcome culture gap, languge barrier . that posed another problemes like this happening. but ,it's not all of them. If his parents were interested in him a little and they talked to him anything .He wouldn't make that happening. When I saw the news i thought of immigrants hard life.

Laguardia Offer Great Vitality in the Workshop

I have a special workshop. It's a dance class. I can learn about several dances there. I love the lesson.

When I was in level 3, I chose a dance elective. It was the first time for me in NY. I was so interested in it. My teacher is JIMMY. He is so nice. I think that he is old a litte. But when we had a dance lesson, he was very enthusiastic for us. Sometimes I was bored by another lesson in winter semester, I could get stress out in the dance lesson. The last class, we could perform on the stage at Laguardia . It was very exciting. When I performed I was so happy. I realized the I was in NY.

I think that the a Laguardia program is very good. Reading, Writing, Listening&Speaking and Electives were a very good system. Not only is the Elective the best in the program, but price is also cheaper than another school. Moreover, everyteacher teaches for student well. I am very satisfied here.

Finally I also chose the same elective this semester. I have learned a lot there. It's a my energy in NY life. That's why Laguardia offer great vitality in the workshop.

that thing called " Vocabulary class"

The workshop was really boring last week because that class has many Corean student. Indeed, they do not want to speak English. My friend said, " I felt like I was wasting my time and money " . They Corean language and one guy who works with spanish people was trying to play with words in spanish. Although that is a vocabulary classtrying to get somenthing interesting from that class. we wish we were not in the same group next class. We did not learn any new word. Moreover, we asked them if they wanted to tell me any story in English but they refuse to answer my question . After that, we were talking with another classmate .

Why is a lesson two hours?

La Guardia is a good school, particularly for ESL students. The teachers are experienced at teaching and struggle to teach very good English for students. However, I am not sure whether they know it or not, but a lesson should not be two hours. During the two hours just sitting and listening to the teacher and sometimes it can be boring.
Sometimes the students come to school a little sleppy and they do not want to remain in class two hours because after the first hour, they think only about the break and resting. This is not good for our concentration.
I think that the school administration shoul find a way out and they should debate this sitiuation. They should take of students opinions. I think two hours are so much; maybe there can be ten minutes a break after the one hour.

And the other girl was very shy. They were the same students in the same college classmates. Also they always spent time together. One day, three gays escaped their class and went to the college roof. Then they saw that the girl was doing to drop from the roof. Suddenly the main character was running for her and stopped her, but she said , "Are you thinking about dropping me from here?" He said , "Of couse!!", but she said, "I don't do that. I am just looking down at the city and looking at the sky from here. " He thought she was kind of strange but he went out with her why didn't he know this time. The strange girl was very very selfish but it was because she had an illness which later would make her brain like a sponge. However, he didnt know, They all didn't. The next day, he was lovers with her but he still didn't know the facts. She said her truth to him. He couldn't help but feel sad, and they were crying but he decided, was deciding that until she died.
After a few days, she got symptoms. First of all, she couldn't speak day by day. Next, she couldn't walk day by day, but she just could write, so she said,"Before I die, I want to write letters to you. I will write every day. " She decided on it, but she also couldn't remember words day by day; still, she kept writing letters everyday.
One day, she called him. Then she gave letter to him. She almost couldn't speak and could't walk. She said, "Every thing was writen here." Then he read them and understood everything about why she was selfish. She was not selfish, just lived honestly in her short life. He cried. At the end of the letter was writen an important thing that she hoped . "Please kill me before myself disappear, please promise as the last wish from me."
The next day, he went to the hospital. She was dying but she moved her mouth. He saw that she said, "Promise..." He decided that he had to do it. Then he was crying and stopped her life-support-machine. She died.
He had made promise to her.She said ,"When I die, you have to foget me.", but he couldn't do only that.

MISTERY NOBLE

A guy was the owner of a restaurant, whose wife had been killed. It was a day when a several kids were playing in the street, and it seemed like by mistake the ball went to the yard and they asked, "can we go inside to get the ball?. "The wife said. Yes go ahead". When they went inside they killed her "the restaurant owners wife". They had a four years old daughter, who was going to a Day Care Center, after her mother died.
An her funeral, the husband met the teacher. The husband was asking himself several questions like "who killed my wife?, Why did they kill my wife?, etc". After a war, The Juvenile Criminal Law was reformed giving more rights to the children, so with this reform, if a child under twenty years old killed somebody, the child's name couldn't be reveled. As a result the husband couldn't find who killed his wife. But in the beginning of the story he "the husband" had known, that the boys who killed his wife did not live in the neighborhood, so this was planned.
A few years later, they re-reformed "The Juvenile Criminal Law" but this time they gave more rights to the victim.

The Titanic

The movie which I introduce is the Titanic. The reason why I choose this one is I assume that everyone knows this movie well. Maybe 10 years ago, I saw it. It was a blockbuster and the most expensive movie in history. Obiously, it was impressive to me. Also it was nominated in almost all fields.

The Titanic was a ship that departured from England to America in April 1912. Jack was a poor painter roaming from place to place. He got a chance to board the Titanic by accident, even though in a bad room. After boarding the Titanic , he saved Rose who would get married for political reasons. So Her fiance invited Jack to a party in order to reward him. Jack felt a good feeling about Rose little by little there. Finally they fell in love and promised to come together forever. At the same time, the Titanic smacked into an ice-berg. The Titanic was damaged and it sank more and more. The boats were not adeguate, so many people including Jack and Rose didn't escapr from the Titanic. Eventually, Jack passed away, Rose was rescued by a ship that was not far from the location.

Not only the Titanic start on a voyage, but it also is a great one. This tragedy accident was deprived of many people's life. I think the Titanic's captain and crew are too arrogant. So, it caused this result.
During the writing, I just wonder. Who's responsibility for compensaton?
The government or Titanic's company or captain and crew.

self introduction

I was born in Istanbul in 1985 which is as crowded and big city as New York. I can separate my life into two things; the first one being in Turkey and the other one being in America. Because being here has changed my world opinion and I have learned so many things and had so much experience during my time in America.
My career is mechanical engineering, for which I went to 3 years high school about mechanics. During the senior high school education I worked 9 months at a government company, where I had a great deal of experience. After the high school I decided to go a university, the name of which is Sakarya University. I chose my major in same mechanical program which was two years. I did not have much practice, I just worked three weeks in a private company, so I did not gain so much experience, but my graduate grades were high. After I wanted to come to the USA because of my career and education. I had here a brother already who had come to America formerly.
When I arrived to America in September 2005, I did not have English I just knew – hello, how are you etc. – so I had boring days. But in the course of time I have improved my English skills and met new people. During this time also I had some wrong effects such as; work. It was very bad for me because after the school I went to work and did not study English, thereby losing little time to start a university program. But I quitted my work and decided to study, also soon start a university degree program.
I like to meet new people, spend my time and go somewhere with them. I like so much swimming, reading, biking bicycle, walking, and listening to music. I want to play guitar but I think that I don’t have playing ability. I hate caring for a pet at home but I like them. My lifestyle is to improve my career, learn new things and meet with useful people. I am interested in surfing on the internet, especially finding a good university. I don’t know if I can start a university in short-time or can I be successful in school?
I think that life in NY so much hard especially for us migrated people, continuously we have to be careful and in the shortest time must learn English. I think so much about how America has been good for me and I realized really America has improved me.

GLOBAL-WARNING

Nowadays the earth is struggling with the global warning, which cause is only the people who don’t care whether the earth is clean or not. The global-warning has effects that are rainfall patterns, rising sea level, wide range of impact on plants, wildlife, and humans.
The Earth has warmed on average 1 F over the past 100 years. But why? And how? Well, scientists are not exactly sure. But people do helping to make the earth warmer. Climate change can affect the average weather. For example, a winter in Buffalo or NY could be sunny and mild but the climate tells us the average weather will be cold and snow, yet it can become warmer or colder.
I read news on the net that is about some beehives that disappeared inscrutably in California and the beehives owners were disappointed by this situation. Beekeepers thing the aridity and mildness of winter affected bees and was the cause of. This is very bad for bee owners because California earns 2,5 billion dollars every year.
I think people must think of their future because in the cosmos there isn’t a planet like the world. We should look at our living earth and must decide what we want for a better life.

A Beutiful View

I n my country Cyprous , i like to go to the beach in the afternoon. The reason is that at the beach i can relax and i have my quiet. While i'm realaxing i'm looking at the wonderful sunrise which the sun creates behind the sea. It's a very beutiful view because the sun with the sea makes the sky change color. They make it look golden. It's avery nice view and many people used to go there to enjoy the sunrise.

Shcool (Eunbyul Ahn)

I use to go to Universty in seoul. I studied 3years in the universty in korea.
My major was the art of fashion design. we made strange clothes,not common things.
my universty is on a campus.It has lot a walk ways and many trees.
LaGuardia has only buldings,my last class didn't have a window. I couldn't get fresh air,but this class has big windows. I like that.

My subjet reguited new ideas in art.I was always thingking,thingking,,thinking,,for new ideas. but my universty is situated below a mountain in a small city in korea.
I couldn't cath many idea form there.That was bigger than this college.
but not as interesting as NewYork.
I study only English these days. NewYork has many kinds of culture and felt mew things.
Here it is easier than at the Universty to make a idea.

introduce myself

I'm Kyungwook Park from South Korea and new student in Laguardia

Also everyone who know me in the U.S call me "Peter"

So you guys just call me "Peter"

I came to N.Y 5 months ago in order to study English.

I want to got good experience with you guys.

Nice to see you.

DIFFERENCES

I can't really say the school in Argentina has similaties difference from here. it also similar. Moreover, the people are different. It not onli isn't easier to pass the test, if you don't have a high score, when you finish the high school, but in Argentina we don't have to pay for our education, because it is free in public school or university. we can't go on a different schedule like here, but the people don't work and study as hard as here, because we have freer times in argentina than here. The people here always have a busier life than there. To be on time is a rule number one for everybody like here, but the people in Argentina prefer to be late instead of not going. Moreover, it isn't as disrespectful as here

Differences with laguardia and my school

My school in Korea is enormous.
not only does it have a bigger campus than laguardia but it also has a huger scholarship than laguardia. moreover, it has a lot of students. approximately, there are 30,000~40,000 students. On the other hand, my school doesn't have its own gym in school. Not only doesn't it have a gym in school, but it also doesn't have its own swimming pool. And laguardia college isn't as expensive as my school.
Actually, I'm not sure how different laguardia and my school are, because I'm in an ESL course of laguardia. It might have a different system between college and ESL.
To tell the truth my school has a tremendous lake in school. for example, a hair-salon, a post office, a restaurant , a bar, a concert hall, etc. But i have not been to all part of this school laguardia. So i cannot compare laguardia and my school.

The vew

First, I came to Seattle in America to study English. I had stayed at my sister's house until I moved to New York.
I would like to talk about the view of my sister's place. Her place was at
lake side. I could see mountains covered by snow the whole year in the livingroom and my room on the second floor. It is mamed Rainer mountain, which is very fameous in Washington. Also, I could see a lake on the other side of the livingroom. During a day I felt as if I went camping besides, Especially When I had a coffee on the balcony watching the sunset. It looked like a picture. At night It was really dark. I could see only stars in the sky. It was so beautiful. I had never seen such many stars before.
New York is totally different from Seattle. I like the view of both cities.

I met my friend 10years ago.

10 years ago, I saw one boy in my middle school. It was our first meeting.
He was smaller than me. He wore glasses and he had short hair. Of course i had short
hair too, because my school was very strict. We wore school uniforms. I thought his uniform was big for him. It's so funny.
We were in the same class for 2years. So, we were very close. And he lived near my home. We always hung out, went out Karaoke, Internet cafe and played basket ball and
soccer.
I want go back to the past. That time is the best in my life. I'm still in touch with him as my best friend.
His nickname is potato, which is kamja in Korea. Because he looks like potato. It's so funny. And he is very humorous and freindly and kind. He likes luxury brands. Of course, he has a lot of money.
We usually went to drink beer since 2002. We were 19years old, but now 24,which is so sad. Time is very fast. No one catches it. We met 14years old. We have been friends for 10 years. It's such a suprise! We were middle school students but now, we're going to the gate of adulthood so fast.
Now, he studies in Austraila and i'm in New York. Thus, we don't see each other. I miss him very much. We finished the Army. I'm proud of my friend. I want to meet my riend soon! I miss his humor, his smile, everything.
I like him. If we die, we will still be friends
Let's live in a fun way with my friends!

View (Eunbyul Ahn)

When I was living in Seoul.
I went to the 'Han-river' very often.

The Han-river is a beatiful and long river in Seoul.
There are many parks and bridges.
I could see a beautiful night view when I was driving on the bridges or walking in the parks.

The Han-river flows through the middle of seoul.
It has beautiful light from the side of buildings and bridges.
It was always brightening to me.
I made dreams with those many twinkling colors .

I have many memories with my friends and my dog in the Han-river.
That was my favorite place and my rest.

When i was in the highschool, in the second grade, i met one good friend. her name was Helen.
When the first semester began i saw in my biology class a nice girl who sat next to me. She was beutiful and i liked her. We introdused ourselves. She told me her name and i told mine.Not very long afterward , i asked for her phone number. She told that i looked like a good guy and she gave to me. After, one week while we were speaking on the phone, she became my girfriend. She was vary kind with me and so i was i with her .Our relationship did't last long. She told methat we didn't match each other.We broke up our reelationship but we were still friends with each other. Helen liked to have one friend who she could trust and hung out together.I waswilling to be her friend but not her boyfriend. Since that time Helen and i have been friends.
She's in greece now and we communicate each other by phone or with e-mail. We speak together about our lifes, about what i did last week.We don't hide secrets from each other. She cares about me and i like what she's doing for me

The difference between this school and past school.

HONG JUN KO
I am in NY to study english. And I've studied in a private institute in seoul.
A reason that I studied in the institute in korea was to get a high score on TOEIC test.
So i am going to compare with private institute in korea and the Laguardia ESL.
The institute was in korea.So there were allmost all koreans but the Laguardia ESL are many diverse country students.
And not only was the institute class in korea smaller than the laguardia ESL, but students in korea were also more entusiastic than Laguardia ESL students.Moreover, the students in the institute were calmer than students here.On the other hand, the institute in korea not only wasn't as good for me as the laguardia,but the institute in korea wasn't as useful as the Laguardia.
Because many korean students tend to study in institute of english in korea due to the TOEIC test.
We have to get a high score to get a bettet job and better opportunity but that has a problem that the institute makes students only get a high score.
So the students can get high score on TOEIC but they can't speak englsh with a foreigner, even a simple sentence and neither can I in korea.
I diskiked myself that despite i've studied for more 6 in school ,I can't speak even a little bit.
that's the why i decided to come to NY and started to study Laguadia.

Hi. My name is Jose I'm From Ecuador.

My name is Jose Cevallos, I'm from Ecuador, I'm fourt level English student. Ecuador is a country located in South America. Ecuador is one of the smaller countries, but is a nice country, I love my country, the only thing is the economy as the other Latin America countries. the economy is very bad, due to the wrong decisions of mediocre politicians. Ecuador has a lot rich sources, as, oil, agriculture, etc.

how to make a good friend

I have many friends. There are friends who i met in high school elementary school and college. But they are not always good friends. Making friend is important. but we should watch out when we make a friend. Because they can influence us so much. So I've got ability of making friend.
First, i look for a personality of them. It is important that their personality matches mine, not too tough or easygoing person.
Second, i look for responsibility if they have responsibility they will not make a problem. For example, when they doubt me responsible friends won't betray me.
Last, i look for diligence and confidence people who are very diligent and confident do not waste their time. I don't like lazy and delinquent people.
These are a few kinds of points that i see when i make a friend. But the most important thing is "feeling". I'm not a robot. So i cannot think all kinds of these things whenever i meet people. And sometimes i feel good with them even though they don't have these "things"
In conclusion, I have judgement in my mind when I meet people or friends. This solution makes me sound like a cold person. But I've made good friends with these standards.

I like the sky!

When I was child,I liked to watch the sky. At that time,the sky dark blue and very clear. I liked think of something when I watched the sky. In my mind, I thought that all the good things would happen in the sky. I had this idea becaus there have been many legends of the sky in history of my country.
If the weather is fair, it is blue and clear. Sometimes, there are some clouds hanging up in the sky. They move as slowly as a maiden. If it is windy. there will be a lot of clouds moving quickly and changing tobe many different shapes with the wind, as if many people were dancing together.
But I prefer to watch the sky in the evening. When it isn't cloudy and rainy, you can see a lot of stars and the bright moon hanging in the sky. Because of the brightness of the moon and stars, it isn't dark at night. The stars always look at me manybright eyes when I watch them every time. They can even pass through the clouds when it's cloudy.
However, I like to watch the sky anywhere I go because I can relax to think something when I do so. SO that if only I have free time or terrible things ,I always like to watch the sky.

Good Friend

When i was in Ecuador, i worked in a bank as a teller. It was my first job experience after i finished the school. When i began to work i met all my co-workers.
Most of them were the same age as me. During that time i was meeting each one, so i met a very good friend.

My best friend is Jaime, a good person. He is tall and thin. He works as a salesperson in Mastercard. He is very hard-working because he has many customers. On the weekend he studies systems engineering. He has two sisters, one nephew and one niece. He is happy with all his family. He has many qualities, which is why he is still my friend.

I had a very sad experience, so his advice and words help me how not to fall down. Also his parents love me like one more daughter. We help each other and he likes to help all his friends. He has very pleasant personality, thats why he keep very good friends.

His company rewards the best salesperson with tickets everywhere. The last ticket that he won is from Ecuador to New York. He promised to visit me very soon. Im looking forward to it. I hope to be his friend for ever.

My favority view

Since i was 20years old, I have loved to look at the sky. When i go to out side, I always look at the sky. If the weather is clear, I can see blue sky and white clouds, if it is a rainy day, I also see grey clouds and dark sky. The sky has various aspects. The beautiful skies always impress me. Among them, I love the sky of night. When I look at the sky of night, I can see a lot of stars and the moon that has a different appearance. I love to see these. My favorite view is the sky of the night.
When I came to New York, I lived in a dormitory in Manhattan. There was a roof garden. At that time , I didn`t know anybody additionally, I was not a sociable person. I felt lonely , and i missed my family and friends. When I felt miserable, I always went up to the roof garden and looked at the sky at nigh. I thought that the sky was a little bit diffrent from in Korea. It seemed that the moon was located closer, and the sky was cleaner. Even late at night the looked like late evening. It was never as dark as night.I could see the Hudson River with some ships that drifted in the river. I could see the Empire State Building with brillant light on the roof garden. It was a beautiful view. The beauty made me calm and got rid of loneliness. I loved the night sky in Manhattan. It was the favorite view.
In conclusion, since I saw the night view in Manhattan, I began to love New York, I couldn`t help memorizing the beauty when I saw the night sky the first time. It was a beautiful view, and it became my favorite view.

How I met my best friend

I would like to say how I met my best friend in New York. I studied evening class last year at Lagcc. When I came to Lagcc to register,she came here at the same
time .One day I started work at a beauty shop. I saw her again there. I never talked about something, even "Hello" before. Besides, I ran into her at a gym the same day when I worked at the beauty shop the first day. We introduced ourselves. She is the same age as me. Eventhough we have known each other not a long time, we have gotten close to each other very fast since we meet.We have many common things, interests and
a simila situation in the USA. Righ mow she has been studying at Lagcc. I always get
together with her after class. I think that our always being together is what makes us closer. Many people keep a good relationship just when they live the same city. I want to keep her as my best friend even if I leave New York.

Meeting my best friend....

Seven years ago, I went to the Yoga center.
I met my best friend at that place.
My best friend's name is Sujin Jang.
She is smart and kind. So when I have Problems, she advises me about it.
Seven years ago, my body was lacking in energy.
I wanted to be healthy. So I started doing exercises.
I did hard yoga. My body and mind became more and more healthy.
I was interested in yoga and meditation at that time.
I think, Yoga is stretching,breathing and meditation.
I wanted to learn yoga more and I decided to be a Yoga master.
Therefore I entered yoga center.
At that time I met my friend. She wanted to be a yoga master also.
We learned yoga and worked at another job.
Now a days we aren't yoga masters. She works in an office and I am studying English.
Although we didn't become yoga masters, we think that time we had a good time.
Also we met and it was a valuable time.
We contact each other still.
I always think, "Thank you for our meeting."

A very good friend.

I met a very good friend last semester. she is a Koean girl. When began last semester, she perhaps sat down next to me. then the teacher said, "Tell your address or namber to exchange with neibhors." so I told her my email address.
after a few days, we took our first exam, but the teacher said, "your English skill is not enough for this level, so you can choose two ways, you can go down a level or keep this level. If you shoose to keep this level, you might not go up to the next level.", but I chose to keep that level. It was hard study.
one day, I was absent from class. Then I recived email from the Korean girl. She told me about homework and activities in class. We began to contact each other that day and have become very good friendship.
To send email to her, was good for me because I could learn many new words and vocabulary. It was very very helpful for me. I already failed level 3 but I improved my English skills day by day. I am appreciating her.
She is a very kind girl. Also now, we have a relationship. Sometimes we go to lunch, dinner and shopping. She is a very good friend for me. Also she is good teacher about English and Korean. I am also studying Korean now from her.

How I met my best friend

I am going to write about one of my best friends.Her name is Atuko,and she is Japanese.I met her in an office where I used to work.When I met her,I was new and she had already worked there for three years.We edited magazines and newspapers.I didn't know how to do when I started the job.She taught me everything about it,but I didn't,but I didn't like her because she spoke to me very clearly and I felt that she pushed me.
We were partners and we worked very hard.We had to work from 9am to 11pm sometimes.So,I realized that she was very kind and honest and I got to like to her.We sometimes argued about the work.It made our relationship strong.
Now,she lives in Japan and I live in New York but we keep in touch.I ask her if I have a problem and she gives me good advise.I am sure that the relationship between her and me will continue.

My Best Friend Like an Angel

I have a best friend in korea. She is 30 years old. She is so nice. I have known her for 15 years. I'm so lucky because I have met her.

When I was in middle school in korea, I met her. She was a class mate of mine. We took the same school bus. She was taller than other students. Not only was she pretty, but she was also friendly. I wanted to be her friend. So we were very close.

Sometimes, I fell very terrible because my father was strict to me. I got stressed out a lot. Whenever my feeling was bad, She took care of me. We used to go to movies and used to study together at her home. When we were in high school, We went to different schools, but we used to meet once a week. Sometimes I thought that she was a present from god for me . I relied on her help for my teenage years.

Now I'm a student in NY, and She is a drawing teacher in korea. Whenever I need help, She sends me something anytime. She always says 'Cheer up! You can do it, Don't worry nothing' Sometimes I'm very lonely in NY, But I'm ok. Because I have a good friend. That's why she is like an angel.
