The end of the quarter

Of course it is almost the end of the quarter. This quarter we have been learning a lot of interesting things. In this quarter we learned how to write essay how to find correctly the main idea and the topic sentence in the essays. And also we did Plato in which we study run-on sentences, where to put coma in sentence, clauses and more new interesting materials. At the end of the quarter I want to learn more how to correct sentences by myself. For me is hard to correct sentences because when a sentence is wrong it sounds to me like a correct sentence. In my opinion all material which we study is difficult for us. For this reason most of this material we have to practice again and again. If we will not practicing every day we have a chance to forget part of what we learned. So we have to read and write everyday to improve our English. Good luck to all.

Summary
This week I read Sciencekhoa’s blog. He wrote about how to improve our speed reading. He is not a Native American. For this reason he is reading a little slowly. If the material is difficult he is reading more carefully because he intent to understand the content. In his blog Sciencekhoa is writing how Teacher explains to us different way to improve our reading. Sciencekhoa thinks if we will spend more time in reading we will become a good quality readers in the future.
I also read Victor’s blog, he wrote about speed reading to. Victor sad his reading is slow because he is not a native speaker. He found out how to improve speed reading. The Teacher explains how to do that. At the beginning he thought it was crazy, but after a while he realized that steps are very helpful, and can help us to improve our speed reading. Victor sad thanks to teacher for showing us different steps how to improve speed reading.

Heating System
I want to write about heating system that people have from villages in Moldova. In the village every house has a stove because in villages they do not have central heating system. For this reason people have to make a fire in the stove. To make a fire in the stove people need to have wood and coal. Many of those living in villages begin to supply the wood and coal in time, but are so hard. Many people do not have many to buy the wood and coal. When winter comes people cut the wood and put it in a dry place. Is not easy to make fire in the stove, because the stove has two small doors and when you light the fire in the stove you need to know which door you have to close and which door you have to leave a little open. If you do not know these rules in a few minutes the house will be full of smoke. When outside is very cold, people have to make fire in stove two times a day, but in the winter people in Moldova are not too busy and they can do that. I think all this process is a little boring but people have to do that because in Moldova in winter is too cold.

Benefits of using computers
Everyone knows what is a computer and people do not imagine life without computers. We can use computers are every were in schools at home. Many people are convinced that computers are not very important and necessary for people, but I think they are for away from reality. In my opinion computers are very useful people can use it at work students can find a lot of information in the computers.
First of all computers replaces the people or lightens a lot the man’s work in many economical branches. A lot of companies and factories are equipped with computers, so their job is done more quickly and efficiently. Another step of computers is the internet access. If you need some information it’s enough to click a link and the material that you are looking will appear immediately.
Second computers are very useful for students. I think for every student computers are like a friend. Students can find a lot of information in the computer. For example if I do not understand something in class I can go home or to the library open the computer and find the information what I need. Know a lot of students are studding online. I think studding online is a big opportunity for students who are married and have a baby.
To sum up computers are very important in our life. In my opinion without computers life would be boring and would be more difficult to study. Computer has also a big importance for international relations. Thanks to internet is possible the connection and communication between people from different parts of the world. Students can learn and compare information possibilities with the ones which use computers. I think the computers are the future of the world.

Sagrada Familia
Barcelona is a beautiful city, and it has a lot of interesting places. Barcelona is situated on the Mediterranean shore. I want to describe one beautiful Museum the name is Sagrada Familia. Sagrada familia is like a temple that has been under construction since 1982. One part of this Temple is old and other part is new. Every part of the design of la Sagrada Familia is replete if Christian symbolism. It has three facades each one bears the name and statue of apostle. Each tower has over 100 meters. Inside the Sagrada Familia, some areas are dedicated to religious concepts. If you want to go to the top you can take elevators, or climb 400 steps. Once at the top you can walk around the walls and enjoy partial views of Barcelona. If you gays someday will be in Barcelona do not miss the chance to visit Sagrada Familia.

My Family
I want to describe my family. My family is very big. I have two brothers and three sisters. All my family is living here in America. My father and my mother are living here to. I have been married for five years. I have a beautiful wife, my wife is from Moldova. My wife’s name is Galina; her family is not here they are in Moldova. She is studying at TCC she is in ESL program level six. We have two cute children their names are Adelina and Denis. Adelina is a girl she is two years old and four months. Denis is a boy he is almost nine months old. I love my children and my wife very much. I am very happy; I have a big and friendly family. We support each other and help.

Speed Reading

Thursday our class was in building 11 in senate room. There was a Teacher who explained to us how we can improve our reading, and what we have to do to improve our speed reading. I am not a good reader in English because English is not my first language. For this reason for me is difficult to read fast because some words are hard to pronounce some of them I do not understand. I'm agree with what the teacher said; often depends on the text content if text contains unfamiliar terms we read more slowly if the text contains easy words we can read faster. Teacher told us some steps how we can improve our reading. I like the steps that Teacher told, but for me is a little hard because when I am reading some words I do not understand. In my opinion we have to read every day to improve our reading.(In this picture is my daughter Adelina!)

What I have learned about writing?

In two or three weeks the quarter will be done. This quarter I learn a lot of things. I think for most students are difficult to study writing. Because sometimes most of letters we should to write but when we hear the word some letters we do not hear. This quarter I learned how to spell a lot of words correctly. Also I learned how to put the sentences in the correct order, because sometimes I am thinking in my language, and in my language am different to make sentences. The writing lessons help me how to write a different kind of essay. Last quarter I was writing only paragraphs but this quarter I write different kind of essay. As a result my writing improved and my vocabulary improved too. One important thing that I learned this quarter is; how to search information for our essay and how to add it information in our essay correctly. Finally I want to say Thanks for all to our Teacher!!!

Is difficult to read in English? Yes it is. For me is difficult to read in English because in English writing is different to reading. For example in my language writing and reading is the same. I like to read different stories, magazines, but sometimes am difficult to understand. Some writers are using a lot of difficult words and idioms. The most difficult for my when I read is pronunciation. I now the pronunciation is difficult for most non native students. In my opinion to improve pronunciation we have to read more is difficult but it will help as to improve our pronunciation.

My goal

Hello everybody! I want to talk about what I will do after finish at TCC. Now I am in studding EAP program because I need to improve my English. I think to take two quarters more in EAP program. After this I will take 95 and 101 English because for starting to study some profession I have to be more fluent in English. My goal is to study about criminal justice, because I want to work a customs and border protection officer. To work in this area I need to have two years college degree. I know is hard to study and now I cannot afford too much things, but I think I need to continue studying. Two weeks ago was a job fair there were a lot of companies. There was a man who was representing Department of Security and I talked with him about my goal. He sad I have a big chance to work in this field because I speak Spanish and Russian and they are looking for people who speak more than one language. So I am very happy!

Registration day

We all know that next Tuesday will be an advising day. Advising day is very important for students who want to continue their education. In this day students have to meet their advisers and talk about their future. Starting Tuesday each student will be able to register for summer or fall quarter. I will go to talk with my adviser to because I have some questions, and adviser will give me a code with this code I will be able to register for next quarter. In summer I want to take EAP classes level 5 and in fall quarter level 6. I have to take EAP classes because my English is not so good. I have been living here for two years, when I came to the U.S I did not understand anything, but now I begin to talk a little. In my opinion everyone who came to the U.S need to study English, also English is the most popular language in the world. For these reasons we have to study hard because our future only depends on us.
