Bon voyage

I have said good-bye to hundreds of students so far. Every one of them is precious. Many of them I never saw again. But I really tell you that this was one of the best classes I have ever had in ELC. I mean it.

It is always sad to say good-bye, but it is also the beginning of a new hello. It is time to dismiss the class, and for every one of us to meet someone new. We need to go on to the next phase of our life.

I talked of what I want to say often in my class, and also in today's class. So I don't have much left to say to you any more.

At the party, Jerry told me that my class was the hardest among the three. Agree. It is not just because this was R&W class, but also because it was me. I know I am a tough teacher. I give out lots of homework. I don't compromise, and I fail students severely without any amnesty. Well, that is my job as a teacher. If I don't do them, I am not fulfilling my job as a teacher. As a professional teacher, I do what I need to do as a teacher, not what my students want me to do, even if I am hated by them. So if your English got better, no matter if you hate me or not, I am so happy.

Anyway, I hope everyone learned something from me this semester. Whatever you will be doing in summer and fall, I wish you all the best. And see you around on campus. (Hideo, I will see you in Tokyo.)

Bon voyage.

Like mustafa.
Do you guys remember what does Nobi often say in the morning. 'so far so good?' Mustafa can say it very similar as Nobi. He could be a good actor.
Today we finished the last class. I feel a little sad when Nobi left. We kept see him every morning for 4 months. But we will not see him tomorrow. Isn't sad?

For Memory

Guys I really enjoy these classes! They were so energetic and exciting.

I would start with some imaginations, so let imagine you opened the door then heard someone told you “Please have a sit”. Later, you heard “Let me give you a card”, and “Please find your partner and sit in pairs”. After that, “Please make a semicircle”. Now, we were ready. Guys do you understand what I’m saying, sorry; I mean “Any question so far”. “No question, so please rearranges the desks before you leave”.

Yet someone raised his/her hand. I just want to ask you if this question will become in the test. “Umm it could be” Later, “we run out of time, so you are free to go”

Also, I can say I don’t buy it if someone told me something is untruth. “Mm-hm yeah you can say it. It's all right”.

I believe after these a little imaginations. I will nerve for get any of these classes. Even anytime I forget. I will read it again to remember this time, and that because I really like these classes which include awesome teachers and classmates.

In conclusion, I want to say I’m sorry if I did anything bad to anyone. I really didn’t mean it I just was fooling around, and please if I did anything bad for you, he/she is more than welcome to tell me anything he/she want, and I promise I won’t be sad or mad. For more specific, I make this list:

Nobi

Jim

Rebecca

Leah

Alex

Ang

Essraa

Ethan

Gee

Hideo

Jerry

Jiansong

Kristin

Leo

Omar

Ryan

Tim

Thank you very much for each of you. I really appreciate what you did for me, and I wish for you all the best. There are more to say, but I wouldn't make it longer.

Your brother from another mother/ Mustafa :)

The Best Friends Forever

Time is fleeting. This semester will be finished soon. I am glad to meet everyone in this semester. I believe everyone will enjoy and miss this class so much no matter how many score he/she got. The class has a lot of fun. Every classmate pay attention to what the teacher said, and also sometimes we make jokes around. The three nice teachers have already prepared enough interesting information for us before the class. As we are international students, we can learn different cultures and languages from each other country. I believe everyone has learnt some extra knowledge from out of the text books. Moreover, we are still friends no matter whether or not we will study at the same class in the future. At last, I wish everyone can get a great score in placement test.

Good Friends.

It was hard time for me but I won't forget you and Nobi.
I also embarrassed and nervous at first time when we met but it was an idle fear.
I was glad to meet you and I will remember what happened to us this semester, also it is probably that be a good memory for my American life.
I am probably that I missed this time after I go back to Korea.
I am sorry to have to say goodbye guys. You were good friends for me and you were helpful for me to study English more interested. Thank you guys.
I want to keep our friendship after this semester and If I meet you next semester, I will say hello to you brightly.
I also glad to improve my English ability. I thought that the result is from you guys. If I did not feel comfort and funny during study with you, I would feel boring evryday. Thanks about it.

At last, I hope everyone can got a high score in the palcement test, and have a fantastic summer vocation, also thank you every one give me help in the process of study, I'm glad to be your classmate and friend.

should we have to tell the truth all the time?

1, No doubt telling the truth and being honest is a praiseworthy virtue of human. But it goes too judgmental to claim that telling truth will be seen as the priority in any situations.

2, Basically, people should be honest to his family members, even if the truth is not dulcet. Family means forgiveness and unconditional love. Edison Chen’s lying during the nude picture scandal, in spite of public’s criticism and anger , his family, even his girlfriend, still gorgave him.

3,And he apologized that he should have discovered the truth earlier. Lying is never the right behavior for someone who loves you.

4, However, unfortunately, a lot of families break up after going the truth, but lies could maintain the relation of family or between lovers. If a girlfriend asked her boyfriend if she was beautiful, the bright and smart reasonable key answer should be “no”,whatever the truth is.

5, When it comes to that situation, lying is a way to show that he cared her. His girlfriend’s feeling is more significant than a lie. That means, a lie can also show love and the way that telling the truth maybe is not always a wise choice.

6, In addition, between strangers , always telling the truth may also easy and often lead to some unpleasant consequences.

7, As a nullifidian, if one expresses out his/her true feelings about religion when they meet some people who belief in it, your behavior is absolutely rude and impolite.

8,We should need to hide something in mind in order to avoid unnecessary tension or misunderstanding. Lies could be ok.

9, Above all, though telling the truth seems right in many occasions , but we cannot appeal to the conclusion that truth all the time.

10, It cannot go too far to judge, a little lying makes relationships better. But lying all the time will definitely end any relationship.

Do we need a plan?

Sorry everyone, I posted my blog late.
Here is my blog.
1. As a college student, we all have a busy life in school, we often have class at almost 8a.m. and finish classes at almost 12a.m. We usually get up very early and start our busy day. We spend half day to study in classroom everyday.
2. For us, as we are all international students. We have to not only deal with our study but also our life in the United States. These two parts of pressure will make us feel tired,upset or even sad, maybe it is easy to do, but sometimes it would be mass for us. We may spend a lot of time on finding a right way to do these things.
3.We may have a lot of troubles, it may cause bad mood to us. In the fact, these troubles can be solved easily if we have a plan for it. That makes clearly to find the plain sequence.
4. For example, if Nobi is going to take us to NEW YORK CITY, we should start to prepare at least two weeks before we leave. Traveling may make people mad, because people often like to forget stuffs, we may can not remember everything we should prepare in the couple days before you go, it may be to short to deal with your package.
5. The reason why we should start so early is that this opportunity is precious, maybe we can not have it twice, and traveling to NYC will be a fantastic journey in our life.
6. We will take a lot of pictures, so camera is necessary. And we also should prepare clothes medicine money and so on. The weather in NYC would be quite different from lansing, maybe the good there would be more expensive. So bring some medicine in case of getting sick, bringing enough money in case of unable pay for the plane ticket.
7. Having a plan is important, because if we start to think about the question near the beginning, it will be very hurry. And we may also lost a lot of stuff as I have talked in the beginning. If we want to have a wonderful journey, having a perfect plan may make the journey better.
8.If we have a plan to our future, we should set our destinations clearly and work plans to achieve them. And we also should try to achieve them one by one. Do nit try to break your plan, or it may cause some troubles.
9. By the way, come up a plan could take a long time, but in my opinion, it is another way to save time, isn't it?
10. Do you have a plan to your study life and future? If not, please start to come up with some plans now. Good luck, my friends.

The Best Way

1. There are many kinds of test in our life, especially students we take a lot of test which used to check our study performance. Otherwise, when we want to find job we should take the test from the company, and if we want to get drive license we must take the test, to name but a few.
2. In this case, test becomes an important measure to check our ability. Moreover, test is not only written test, it includes interview, practical application, and so on. But every part of test will influence the final result, so we cannot neglect each one.
3. Speaking students, we take many tests which involved the small quiz and exam, both of them lead us fatigue and hate study. For example, we should take more than 3 small quizzes each week, and over 3 exams each month. we cannot escape these test, unless we absent. In my opinion, test can give us pressure which can drive us review what we learned in the class. Also test is the best way to find out our mistake in the process of study that can help us correct our mistake in good time.
4. What is more, the result of the test cans point out the condition of our study performance which is good or need us to improve on. We hope to get the result of the test as fast as we can that express we care of our study, we want to know whether we got the progress after study one semester, and we want to get a high score to prove ourselves.
5. Sometimes we got a lower score after previous work hard, the result hit us confident, but do not dismay, find out the reason, and continue study hard, next time we can get the score what make us satisfied.
6. As a student we cannot ignore our parents who are really care us, they care us growth, they also care us study, they want to we can have a prosperity future. They are happy we can surpass them in the future. Personally, my parents care my study than me, it makes me guilt, they cannot know whether I study hard in the process of study, but the result of test can told them my study performance. Actually, our parents do not want us get high score from test, but they merely hope us can try our best to learn more knowledge.
7. Some students think that the test cannot prove their ability, it's just a test. But they forget if they have ability, they should show their ability with the high score in test which they think easy for them.
8. Furthermore, sometimes we think one test cannot express our ability, but after experience many tests we can understand what the real ability we have. while, If we got a high score without work hard that cannot prove we are good, it's just can express we are lucky than other students.
9. By the way, test gives us pressure especially some important test such as the placement test, the final test at the end of the each semester, and otherwise. we should make the pressure drive us get progress, do not defeat by the pressure.
10. In conclusion, all of these things above can express test is the best way to check ourselves in the present. Although it includes many disadvantages, but we cannot forget the benefit of the test that help us find our mistakes, improve our ability, and get the progress gradually.

Not For The Generalization and Rumors

1. When we hear something about something else, is this thing true? For example, if we hared that there is an English man, and he is mean to the international people. Is that the same with the other English people? Are they all mean like him?
2. Nowadays, there are a lot of rumors in different places around the world. Some people believe them while other did not believe it.
3. Some people listen to these rumor and they generalize it to the all people in that place. For example, if somebody said that US people are crazy, that did not mean everybody in the US is crazy.
4. Of course there are some people are not crazy. Also, sometimes we hear that there are one or two bad people in that country. And when people heard that, some of them think that all people in that country are bad!!
5. This is not true. Because one or two people cannot represent 300 million or a country. In my opinion, the small group cannot represent the large group.
6. Moreover, a lot of rumors, which represent a country, religion, culture, business… etc, are not true. There are some people represent another country, and they lie on people and say that they are from this country.
7. For example, if there are two or three people from Mexico, they cannot represent the people who from US. But some people can believe that because they do not know that those people are from Mexico. This is just a small example.
8. In my view, if we want to believe any rumor, we should search for strong evidences. Also, we cannot generalize something, only if it is totally true.
9. Because people are different in this world. The best way to know something is to read about it, and to search about by ourselves.
10. Some people create rumors to distort something they do not like it, so we should be carful before we decide to believe these rumors or not.

How Do People Expression Their Emotion

1. happy, sad, or angry. people have lots of emotions. how do people expression their emotion are different .


2. for some peple, they do not easily to show their emotions. you are hardly to know what are they thinking about. If they are happy, sad or angry. And I found when people grow up, they become more mature. They know how to cntrol their emotions.
   
3. For some people, they are more emotional. They are easy to feel happy, and for next second, they feel sad. You can easily to see if they are happy or not. Also, sometime, they express their emotion extremly. when they are happy, they can do


4. If you are in a bad mood, I think find a good way to abreaction is important. and there are many ways to abreaction your emotion.
5. To abreaction your bad emotion, cry is the most direct way. when something made yo unhappy, after cring, you will fell better. people always said that man can not easy to cary, they shold be strong. But I think all peopple will have a bad mood, man also can cry when they fell bad. At least, they can cry when they are alone if they want to be a 'strong' man in front of others.


6. Talk to someone is also a good way, and this is one of the reason that why we need friends. Sometimes, people can not have rational thinking when they are in a bad mood. So, tell your friends what is the trouble. why are you sad, or why are you angry. your friends will comfort you, and give you suggestions.
7. Some people like to write diary. I like it also. Everyone have their own secret, and do not want to tell others. So, write in down. It is like a way that you are talking to yourself. Gradually, you can know yourself well.
8. Do sports, yelling(better in a place with less people), and even play games are both the way to abrection your bad mood. Find a way can make you feel happy, do not always in a bad emotion.
9. No matter how bad are you feeling, don not anger to other innocent people.


10. Life is tuff. So, be nice to yourself, and also be nice to others.

True vs. False

1. What is true or false and right or wrong? Sometimes, it depends on how people think about it. When people change a standpoint to think about it, they may get a different idea.
2. I believe there is nothing absolutely right or wrong. Sometimes, people believe it is true in their own opinion. If they change a view to think about it, it may be false. It is the reason why people have to hear and read a lot before they make their own decision.
3. Especially for history, one effect was usually caused by a number of reasons. People have to think about it carefully before they get their own opinion.
4. In general, Hitler is a malefactor especially for the occidental and the Jew. He killed a lot of people during the Second World War. In German opinion, Hitler was their hero. He helped Germany achieve at the top they had never been.
5. As cold war, America and the Soviet Union debated each other about fifty years. However, the third world war or nuclear war did not happen.
6. As Americans or capitalists, they believed they had to argue with the Soviet Union, because of socialism. The Soviet Union thought they had to fight with America or capitalism to get a place to survive.
7. Do you believe it is the main reason? Do you think it is the main purpose for America spent about half century against the Soviet Union?
8. I think it is the reason to make their citizens believe they had to disagree with each other. Therefore, they had the proper reason to argue with the other and spend a plenty of money on nuclear race and space race...
9. After the Second World War, the majority of countries had different destruction. There were only America and the Soviet Union that had abilities to become the most powerful country in the world. If one of them fails, the other will become the number one in the world. Therefore, they used the argument between capitalism and socialism to attract their citizens to support their fight with the other.
10. Thereby, at different place, you may have a different answer. For example, Americans may believe the governments are right because they help America become the most powerful country in the world even though they have lied the citizens. As the historian, they may want to know the real reason to cause the effect. People have to think about it carefully before they want to trust something. At different view, there may be different answer, in order that people cannot say True or False directly.

An exepensive car .vs a nice house

1. If you have money what do you like buy a big house or buy a nice car? I always ask myself this question.
2. I think you will answer this question in depend on you are man or woman. Everyone has different opinion.
   
3. On one hand, I think men will prefer to buy the car because they do not like to stay home. If they could, they will live in the car. There is an image in my country that the man who has a nice car , he is very rich and all people respect him. It is like a prestige.
4. on the other hand, woman would like to have a nice house with a great family. They like to invite their friend and make parties.
5. They will not think too much in cars. Woman usually are not interested in cars. The car is only transportation for them.
   
6. In my opinion, because I am a woman I like to buy a nice house even it is an expensive. I think car will be old one year after buying it. So I will need to change it to the newest one for that year.
7. But the house most of the time will be with you forever. You will have your children in this house or may be your grandsons.
   
8. House is the most important thing people will work and make money to buy it. But car is the way people can go anywhere by it.
9. It does not matter if the car for this year or 5 years a go. Also you can get more money when you want to sell the house than when you want to sell the car. So it is like an investment thing.
   
10. House is the place which people live on it so it is priority for anyone want to settle down with their family. What about you what do you think? Do you prefer to own a nice house or an expensive car?
    

The most important things in the world!

1. We need many things in the world. We cannot live without water, food. Also, many people thinks that we also cannot live without friends and parents.

2. But if just give you only one choice. Which one do you think is the most important in the world. Which one is necessary for you?

3. Many of said that, love is the most important things for their life. They cannot live without love. They cannot live for single. Wife or husband is necessary for their live. Eventhough a wife or husband is their whole life.

4.Also, their have another people said that, they can live without love or parents, but they cannot live without food and water. Food and water is the most important things for this kind of people.

5.In my opinion, I think money is the most important things.

6.Have a try to think about it. If we don't have money. We cannot buy food, we cannot buy water, also we have no house.

7. If we don't have money, maybe we also have not love. No one want get married with a people,
who don't have money.

8. But if we have enough money, we can got food and drink. We can got funny also we can got good life. We cannot say money means everything, but we can say everything need money.

9. So, I think money is the most importants in the worlds. Students study hard, because they want get good work. Good work can earn more money. So we do everything here, just for we can get more wages.

10. Try your best to work hard. Try your best to study hard. You will be successful and get the most important things in the world!
