I came to New york City three months ago. I always have wanted to learn English. When I arrived here, I was looking for a School, but I wanted to find a good one. I asked my cousin and he told me about Laguardia Community College. That day, I went to Laguardia and paid my registration. The next day, I took the test. Before I came here, I didn't study English, and I thought I was going to be in level 0ne, but I was surprised when somebody told me that I was in level three. When I began to study at Laguardia, I didn't understand everything that the teacher said in class. Today, I can say I understand everything. In Laguardia Community College, I have many friends. One of my best friends is Jhonatan. He is nice and he is an interesting person. I like the teachers.They are very nice. I hope to find them in the level four. However, it's interesting to know others teachers. Now, I think that I come to class every day, but I don't learn anything. I ask myself what should I do. I believe that I need to study very hard if I want to learn English. I feel very happy to be studying English.

Interview with Andrei

--It is this case one example, how is the life of the many immigrants. We often see many immigrants in the United States who used to hold highly professional jobs in their native countries, but they had had to work in low-skilled fields in this country. I have had the opportunity to know a few people in this case. It is saddest to have a degree a career diplomat when you can’t work in that degree. Most the time the people come to the USA. We are thinking in the “American Dream”, but lately many people can’t sleep properly for a few reason. Ones of that is the English language, The America culture and the economy. Even though I have always had the opportunity to share ideas with fascinating people in the sometime those people advice to us to continue with ours goals.

Interview with Andrei

There are many people in their native coutries hold highly professional jobs,
but here is America.They have to start from zero.In America,many America native
companies don't really admit other countries degrees,so they have to learn again
in American universities or collages.I don,t think Andrei is in trouble because
allmost all of immigrants are as doing as Adrei.If he keeps going,i think he will
be success in the future.His dream will come true.

Jonathan

Every day are arriving to the United States lots of airplains with people looking for more progress oportunities. Like Andrei, some people have already a profession when they come, but is so hard to find a job in what they want. The most of them have to start cleaning or doing something that they don't like. I think, those immigrants who want to progress in United States must to work hard, and also to study, if they want to work in their field.

PAULA 'INTERVIEW WITH ANDREI"

in USA there are many people like Andrei. There are people who still hope with "the American dream". unfortunately not everybody bear the same fate.
but if this country is in recession, could you imagine how are the other countries?
Maybe for this reason most of Foreign residents still dreaming that USA could improve their economic problem to make them a better life.

silvia

The Andrei's case i similar to the cases or many people who came to this country to reach the American dream. A lot of people with an important career have to work in job that they never expect in their countries. but when you have a dream, like Andrei, you have to sacrifices some things. Andrei dreams with to study Languages. Therefore, he is doing everything to reach his dream.
The most important thing is that you feel happy and no regret with your life. maybe in the future, when Andrei look his past life, he will say that his job like a cleaner man was good because his dream comes true.

Andrei's story, by Kevin

Andrei is a man from Russia who worked as an engineer in his country and came to the United States in his early fifties. He has had to make a difficult adjustment, learning a new language and working as a cleaner to support himself. He finds his present life emotionally difficult but is glad he moved to New York because he has more opportunities here than in Russia, where he tells his interviewer professionals like his sister, a teacher, are paid badly. He stays in a good mood by keeping his focus on the future. His interest is languages. At present, he studies English at Hunter College. He believes he can reach his goal of working as a translator at the United Nations.

An interesting element of the article about Andrei was the relationship between him and the man who interviewed him. Young Ja Lee is also new in New York. He came from South Korea and seems to be Andrei's classmate in an ESL course. The two men are in similar situations, and Young Ja Lee writes about Andrei with empathy.

Chris

Many immigrants are living In the United States. Andrei is one of the immigrants. He is 50 years old Russian. When he lived in his country, he worked for the Siberia Railroad Company for many years. Then he had a comfortable living. But now, his job is cleaning man. He studies during the day and works at night. He want to become a translator in U.N. in international committee. He will make it.

Harold

I think that the reality that Andrei lived was very hard. A lot of people want to come to USA. People want to find a better situation in their lives. Many people want to realize the American dream because the people hear that in the US everything is interesting than in their contries. People say that in the US there are many oportunities to find job, and people earn a lot of money. I think so, but it's necesary to have some recomendation or have a lot of experience that certificate who is the person and what know to do. On other hand, It's necesary to know the English to find a good job.

Andrei is a 50 years old Russian man immigrant in the USA. He had a very good job in his contry . he was an engineer, and he had an conforteble life in his contry.

first he didin't want to be an engineer,but a lutterair. his parents forced him to study engineery,and he thanks them today for that. unfortinatly he is not doing his job here. he is at the highway constraction,and he is very depressed.

Yeon Sook

Andrei is came from Russian and he went to college. He worked Railroad Company in Russia and was happy, but now his job is a cleaning man. He want to became a translator and to be a teacher of Russian literature. He studies during the day and works at night.

So many people come to the United States for attainment of their dream like Andrei. Some of them was graduated from college & university and they lived comfortably in their country. However, after they came to the United States, in the first time, they get a job that needed hard labor in first time, and almost all of them live very hard in the United States. I also know that finding a job in the United States is not easy. I don't know why they come to United States, here is not only comfortable but job is also very hard. Therefore, I will go back to my country.

Baekdoo Ryan Kim

Andrei is a Russian native who was born and growed in Siberia. He had a prestigious professional job. He received 3 times higher salary than his sister, a professor in the university. Even though, He received high salary, he gave up his job and stepped for his desire job. Also he wanted to more opportunities, so he moved to New York. Surely, this decision was very hard on him because he does not wnat to follow his parents life, cleaner, in NY. However, he was gald to accept about his these advice. Because his country children were and are raised to respect their elders. Besides, he is learning to language for becoming a translator in U.N or a teacher of Russian literature. This time, he is cleaner in NY, but he is continuously running to his purpose, and i think he will acheive his purposes.

Andrei has similar to our situation. Also we want to learn language for own purposes, so I understand about a part of his emotion. He is showing to us on this articles that one of the important things is effort.

Baekdoo Ryan Kim

What are different American and Japanese?

In my opinion, American people's behavior is very freely and they nearly care about other people. It means, Americans have strong their expression. However Japanese people have opposite expression of American and they always behave carefully.
Why are they different? I think, this behave is based on their history and growing enviroment.
To summarize, eventhough they have different behave and expression, it's not problem, because these are their own persnality so we have to respect that.

Thank you.

Behavior in Public

- Behavior: refers to the action or reactions of an object or organism, usually in relation to the environment. Behavior can be conscious or unconscious, overt or covert, and voluntary or involuntary.

- Many countries and their behavior in public are different

Each one, have a diverse cultures. The cultural is the way it going to show you the style has a country and the sometimes it is show you what kind the behavior in public has had live through it the year.

A Japanese friend who is living in New York once said, he felt comfortable here, in the United States, because he didn’t have to care about other people. His Unlike Japan, nobody criticizes him, what he wearied or however he behaves.

He could explain by the different of characteristic features between American and Japanese.

- I think we never know which ones characteristic is better because it is going to change what you have of your concept about your own country or alien country.

Japan Vs the United States..kib

Others places in the world has differences about the cultures. American choose anything express their opinions in a self-assertive.The Japanese way of thinking of others somtimes meets with good results. In contrast to Americans. But,I think I like to accept curtures.

BLUE MONDAY AND TGI FRIDAY
Most people feel tired and sad on Monday because the people have to getting up early another days and putting up with rush hour crowds. I'm too. Every Monday I'm waiting for Friday. Most people like Friday. Why are we happy? Weekend is waiting for us. We say!! "Thank God It's Friday!!"

Jonathan

The most of the japanese people are conformist. They have a life style that never changes, yet in America this is a little different. In the United States there are a lot of people from different countries around the world. That's why here you can see different life styles, and more non conformist people. I think the way you behave depends on the culture you came from. I am non conformist . I like to be trying to improve my style, changing how i dress and how i think.

Harold

I think that the different cultures have their own form of interpreting their style of life. Some cultures conform with their situation another culture likes to experiment different things. I believe that it is necessary to respect the individual differences, or style of interpreting the life. For this reason, I think it is very important to know different customs and traditions of the towns. In the other hand, the cultures could not be compared because in each culture there are different ways to see the life.

silvia

I think that American's behavior is more free style and more natural. American society is absolutely individualist. When people with other cultural backgrounds come here, they have a big impact. the Americans have open mind and people like Asians or Islamic people are more closer in their behavior or mind. some times the change can be easier but some times people have a hard hit.
However, I think is more easier to live in a city like New york, with many choices or options than a cities or countries with a closer mind.

Paula Valencia

"Differences in Behavior, Japan and the United States."

I think that each country has it own culture. For example in United State people has open main to understand the differences between others cultures, due to the big variety of nationalities that resident in New York.
However, in Japan, the culture is more exigent, more individualist due to it is just one culture and it is not shares it influences with others cultures.
big differences between this culture are, the clothes, the average of ages to go to school and holidays.

Yeonsook

Korea has similar culture with Japan because Korea is single-ethnic like Japan.
Also I sometimes felt same thing with example of this essay between Korean and America culture. Actually I don't know which culture make more comfortable living.
However, I think that I have experiences between both countries will made me to be more better than now.
