The End

We finally arrived at the end of the spring quarter, and we all are very happy that summer vacation will begin soon. But at the same time we feel sad. For me was interesting to be in this class because I met new students and a new Teacher. I had a lot of fun in this quarter to study English with my classmates. So I will miss them. I really feel very happy because in this vacation I will spend more time with my family. When I studied this quarter O did not have too much time to be with my family. I think some of my classmates I will met in the summer quarter that will be great. I would like to say to everybody happy vacation and many achievements in the future!! Good Luck to the final tests.

Tacoma

Today I want to write about our city Tacoma. What is good and what is terrible. There are two reasons why Tacoma is a good city, and one reason why Tacoma is a terrible city. The first reason is that Tacoma has beautiful parks that are very well arranged. The parks have a playground where the children can play. Some parks have a place where people can play tennis or basketball. I like to go with my family in the park I like to play with my children. The second reason why Tacoma is a good city is, in Tacoma we do not have problems with parking. For example if I go to the bank, restaurant, store, or my friends houses, every time I can find place for parking. For these reasons Tacoma is a good city. Finally the reason why Tacoma is a terrible city is Tacoma has a bad public transportation. The buses traveling rarely and people wait too much, sometimes in the rain, because many bus stations do not have any cover. Tacoma for me is a good city. In Tacoma we have some problems but in other cities there are as many. I am glad to live in Tacoma.

Easter in Moldova

Easter is one of the most important celebrations in Moldova this celebration has a lot of traditions. I want to describe some of them from Thursday and until Monday, the second day of Easter. Starting Thursday, people cease work on the field and focus on the houses, the land, for everything to be clean. Also on Thursday women begin to cook bread. Friday women paint eggs. Symbolic red eggs come from the passion of Jesus Christ who was beaten with stones that turned into red eggs. Saturday is the last day for the preparation of Easter, when women need to prepare most meals, and make the last preparations to the new clothes they will dress in days of Easter. Saturday is the day when people sacrifice the lamb, which is traditional food. Early Sunday morning, after first rooster crows, everyone gets up to go to the service of Resurrection. After church all family members sit for the first Easter festive meal. First day of Easter should be spent quietly. Is prohibited any fun activity. Monday, the second day of Easter, people give alms for the dead, going in most cases to the cemetery. The biggest celebration of the Christians, the Resurrection of Christ, is the opportunity for Moldovans to live holy moments of joy, but also to celebrate in the community.

My favorite person
Hello everybody I want to write about my favorite person who has influenced in me when I was a child. When I was a child my favorite person was my grandfather. My grandfather was a very nice person. He loved me because he was resembled to me. I loved him to. He was very patient with me. I sometimes was doing bad things, and when my Father wanted to punish me my grandfather defend me. I remember he said to my father let him, he is a child. I liked when he told stories about the war. I remember once I wanted to buy a ball but my Dad did not want to give me money. When my grandfather heard that he gave my money for the ball. My grandfather was died when I was 12 years old. I was very sad and felt very sorry. I have good memories about him. I think each of as has a favorite person when he was child.

Superstitions

Today I want to write about superstitions. Moldavians are people who believe in the old words of the elders they are called superstitions. There are many superstitions; I want to write about some of them. Ladies think about 5 to 6 names of boys that you would like to marry. While stem toss an apple, recite the name and the name that you pronounce it when the stem has snapped is the name that you chose to be husband. If some ladies want to know if your friend loves you rip flower petals one by one, saying this time, loves me does not loves me, and when you reach the last petal, you will find the answer to your question. Who wants to get married soon need to go to the wedding because, after marriage declaration, fresh bride throw the bouquet of flowers behind her, the women themselves who participate in party. The ladies, who will catch the bouquet, will marry soon. If you dream lilies, that means joy for loved ones. Who dreams of radio that means the friends say good things about you. Broken eggs in your dream means family quarrel. I think we believe in superstitions because we do not want something bad to happen to us, or if the superstitions bring good luck we want to happen to us.
