week 6

I enjoyed reading about your ideal day! Time with friends seemed to be a common factor. For this week, please share with us how your chose what career you want to have in the future? If you haven't chosen your career or field of study yet, what steps do you plan to take to do so? I chose teaching ESL because my husband and I have moved around a lot. We've lived in South America and the Caribbean. We would love to live abroad again. This field of work gives me the opportunity to find a job where ever we are living because it is in high demand. I like the field of teaching and training, especially with adults. I put that together with my international studies education in college and found ESL as a perfect fit for me!

Week 5 question

This week, I would like for you to describe your ideal day. For me, it would be to sleep in. My 7 and 9 year old kids like to get up at 6:30am, so I love a chance to sleep in. I would have a cup of strong coffee and read the paper which I rarely get to do. The rest of the day would include riding bikes with my kids and husband, playing tennis and moving at a slow pace all day. My life feels very busy and rushed most of the time. I would like to move at my pace for a day. My ideal day wouldn't be complete without a dinner cooked by my husband. Our friends would come over to join us. We have friends that live in this area who we have known for 18 years. Of course, I wouldn't have to clean up after dinner either. What about you? What would your ideal day look like?

Week 4

This week we are working on narrative paragraphs. Tell me about something you brought with you from your country and why you brought that with you. Why is that item special to you?

Week 3

It was so interesting for me to read about the surprising things you found about living here and interacting with Americans. I'm glad that most of them have been surprising in a good way and not a bad way! Our next paragraph will be a narrative paragraph. That's a paragraph that tells a story. For this week, tell us a short story about something that happened to you the first or second day that you were in the United States.
