None

Alvin is a good man. He is very funny and cute. The most important point, he always spent his money on the useful thing. His wife is a friend of mine, so we met each other before school. His wife, Nokia, is a teacher of teaching kids English. We were her first batch of adult students. She taught us and her classmate Vicky the phonics once a week. She said " it's free service!!", so Vicky and I was often to help everyone with a cup of tea or other drink. During the studying, we were didn’t eat or drink anything from Alvin. I always told him why you did not take something, like juice or tea to us. You eat or drink so much from us. Did you feel ashamed?He said” No, I didn’t. Thanks for your tea.” Suddenly, I told myself didn’t bring anything to him anymore.

One day, I arrived the classroom. I found a bottle of milk on the table. It was given us from Alvin. I felt so surprise and happy because the milk brand is famous milk. It cost 25 dollars per bottle. While I was drinking milk happily, he asked me did you want a bottle again? Wow, I couldn’t believe it and asked him, did you won the lottery? He said, “No. I took those bottles of milk from my home. The expiry date is tomorrow, so I hope you can drink off them today…… OMG.What a kind person!

Hope to Reduce My Tension When I stand on the Stage

I always feel nervous when I stand on the stage. I presented my report on the stage I could feel my voice and my hands were shaking. I tried to come down and told to myself be confident. My voice and hands were still shaking then my spoke speed were more and more fast, so I always spend a lot of time to practice my present, hope can reduce some mistakes and can over it as soon as possible. To finish the presentation and back to the seat was my big idea at that time. I found someone who I could talk to her and hope her gave me courage during my presentation. In my experience it was useful. The feeling is bad thing for me. I have to control my tension and to memorize the content of the report. Finding a good way fast to reduce my tension let me could finish my presentation smoothly. It is so significant.

The Book Club on Skype

We start studying International News vocabulary at this semester. A lot of vocabularies are long words and difficult to remember. When I was studying, I turned on the Mp3 to listen pronounce of the vocabulary. I practiced pronounce followed the Mp3. It was difficult to me to remember the vocabulary. We must remember those new words within a week. Just do my best to learn by rote but I didn’t know their meaning of words. I always forgot the words fast. Our classmate, jack, he is a so kindly person. Some classmates are taught how to learn the meaning of the words on Skype every week. He teaches us about the root prefix, association method, and groups to memorize. Those methods were good for me. I could memorize some words so simple. In the other hand, we used the group to learn some new words. The time of the book club on Skype was so short but the harvest was huge.
