Today, when I got to the class, she was talking about the class's policies. And then she gave us the writing assignment about our lives. We needed to talking about our lives in our own countries until now in the United States. I wrote it for four pages. Several minutes later, she collected it and then she gave us a break for 15 minutes. While we had a break, i went to buy a hot chocolate with my friend down stair. It was raining outside and also very cold. After the break, Elaine and we were talking about the election in different countries. We needed to answers the questions about presidential elections in our countries. She put us in a group. My country doesn't have a president, so i didn't answer any questions. After that, we discussed the answer from different countries. I had so much fun about this stuff. Some of them were so surprised to me. I didn't even know about it before. After that, we did the dictation about the election day in the USA. We needed to listen to the radio and filled in the blanks. She played it for two times.

A fun day...in NYC with my friends!!!!!


I went to Manhattan with my friends on Friday. First, I met two of them at the Roosevelt field at 10 o'clock. And then we went to other friend's house at the carplace. Her house was not too far from the train station. After we picked her up, we went to the train station. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the parking space. We had driven around the train station and neighborhood for 15 minutes. We were also so late. Finally, we found one...It was in front of someones house. Then we walked to the train station. while we were walking to the train station, the train was coming. Time we got there, the train already left. We missed the train. The next train was 11:40 a.m. After we bought the ticket, we went back to jiyoen's house and had some coffee.
After that, we walked back to the train station. And then the train had come and we all got on.
While we were on the train, we were talking and taking a lot of pictures..when we arrived at the NYC, we were all hungry especially me. I was so hungry. We had decided to go to Vietnamese restaurant. It was first time that i went to Vietnamese restaurant. I loved all the food. It was so delicious. After that, we went shopping around Manhattan. The city was so busy.There were many people walking around. I was so confused. While we were were shopping, we were also taking some pictures. All of us loved to take the photos especially my friends. About 5 o'clock we were all hungry again. I told my friend that i wanted to see time square. Since i have been here, I have never been to time square. So then we had decided that we were going to Starbucks at time square. It was very pretty. eventually, we took the subway to the train station. we all got on at different train, so we had said good bye at the train station.

Mrs. Marissa is a wonderful teacher..

I have been knowing Mrs. Marissa for two months. I think she is very nice and kind professor. She always helps me and all my friends in class. All of us always have the problems with writing especially grammar. Writing is the most difficult part of our English. So we are writing the paper almost everyday. When I have the problems,I always ask her and she always helps me. I think my English is improvement a lot since she have taught me. Finally, the first session is over. She is going to leave us. I can't believe it, but we need to accept that. Anyway she is going to teach at next store. I still can talk to her.
And then We are going to have a new teacher. Her name is Elain. I'm so excited and interested to study with her. I think she is very good professor...

I had so much fun in the class today...terrific

Today is October 22, 2008. Mrs. Marissa was absent, so we had a substitute teacher. He was very nice,fascinating , funny and terrific. He was also a little bit strict. Today,We were talking about men and women who were more talkative than others. First, the teacher was explaining about the lesson and then he put us in groups of three or four per group. After that, we needed to discuss and answer the questions.While we were working, he was also walking around and checking our answer that was right or wrong. If we did wrong, he would tell us that it was wrong and we needed to fix it. After we finished answer the question, we had to find the definition of the vocabulary. About 10 o'clock, we had a break about 15 minute. I went to buy the hot chocolate with my friend at the store and then we came back to the class. I was so hungry. I didn't eat anything since in the morning. I planed to eat my cereal and hot chocolate in class. But then the teacher said we couldn't eat anything in class. we needed to finish our snack outside first and then we can come to the class. So i just put it away...I just drank my hot chocolate. After the break, we used the North Star book. We were learning about Separated by the same Language. We did some exercises in the book. Finally, we did the Dictation thing. we needed to write the correct word in the blank space while we were listening to the dictation on the radio.
oh my god....I had so much fun today....He was a talkative man I have ever seen..

I was so surprised....when i saw my classmate 2 times in different places.


I was so surprised today. I had met my classmate for two times in different places. First, I met her on the bus N49. She sat with her mother. I said hello to her and she did too. Then we got off from the bus at the same time. After that, we waited for another bus. While we were waiting we were talking about our towns. She was a little bit shy. She wasn't talking very much. However, I made her talk a lot. I couldn't stop talking when i saw some of my friends. She was very nice though. I liked her. And then we got to school. About 2:23 P.M, I took the bus N16 to Hemstead terminal. I got off there. Then I just was walking a round the station. While i was walking around, I saw her again. After that, I went to talk to her. She told me that she just got back from the Mall. She went by herself. She told me that she was very tired. she just wanted to go home and take a nap. We were waiting for the same bus. while we were waiting, we were talking about our school and classmates. I had so much fun when I talked to her even though I didn't know her very well. Anyway she is going to be my best friend soon....because i love to talk. I always tell her to smile, and she always does it. She is so cute.

Fern's biography!

My name is Pistawan Kongsrima. My nickname is fern. Most of my friends and my family call me fern because it is easier than call me Pistawan. I also love it when they call me fern. I came from Thailand. I have been here for three and a half years. When I was in Thailand I didn't live with my parents. My parents had been divorced when I was a baby. I lived with my oldest aunt and my two little cousins. I loved them(nieces) a lot because I had raised them when they were babies.My mother lived in Bangkok, the city of Thailand. she worked there. She was a hairdresser. However, I had never seen my real father. My mom told me that he was very bad father. He didn't care about her and me either. When i was a young girl, I always asked my mom about him. I also wanted to see his pictures, but she had never showed me his pictures because she wanted to forget about him. I felt so bad about that. Several years later, my mother had met one man. He was an American man. He was very nice to my Mom. When I knew about it I was so happy with her, so she could started her new life again. First time, I had met him i was so frightened because I had no idea who he was ,and where he was from? I also didn't understand what he was talking about. Two years later, My mom got married with him. And then, He took my mom to the USA first. After two years, both of them came to Thailand and took me to America. So now, I live in Hicksville with my parents. I have no brother or sister. I am an only child. I can speak four languages such as Thai , English, Lao, a little bit Chinese and little bit Spanish and i will keep study all that. I graduated from Hicksville high school. When i was in High School i didn't have a lot friends until i was a senior. The problem was just English language. I could speak English but it wasn't very well. I have been studying a lot. However, it was still hard and tough for me. Now, I'm going to Nassau Community college. I have met lots of cool friends. They are very nice and fascinating. but some of them a little bit crazy and droll(funny). I'm just kidding okay.Anyway, I love all of them and i hope they love me too?? I also like my professor. Her name is Mrs. Marisa. She is very kind and cheerful person. I am so joyful when I'm with her.(If i spell your name wrong I'm so sorry okay Mrs. Marisa) I like to go to school a lot because when i stay home i was so lonely. I have many hobbies that i always do such as playing sports, listening to music, reading the books, and talking with friend online. My favorite food is Thai food and Italian food. Finally, I want to be a nurse practitioner because I want to help and cure sick people.I will make my dream become through. I 'm going to study hard and hard. I won't give up even though, I have many problems or any troubles. I will keep doing it. I'm promise...
